ASRock P67 Pro3 BIOS Update 3.10 Problem

[DisTrict_X]

Hi!

FIY, this is my system:

http://puu.sh/kLC0l.png

So I've bought myself a i5-3470 but to run it on my board I need BIOS update 3.10. On the ASRock download page it supplies a windows installer for 3.10, NO instant flash exists for my motherboard for 3.10 (or at least that I know of). To install the update I left my old CPU in there for now, a i3-2100.

When I try to run the installer(as administrator as the guide says) it tries to start up, displaying the warning to close other programs and then spits out this error: "Error: Firmware does not have flash (AFUWINGUI) support."

I'm 100% sure this CPU works with my motherboard, it's listed on the supported CPUs list on ASRock's support website.

The other 2 needed installs for Ivy Bridge are installed and work fine(I think).

Sooo... help? I want to get to work with this new CPU.

Thanks!

What did ASRock say?

Confirm that you have the correct motherboard BIOS file.

Look on your mobo for the exact model, or run CPU-Z and see what it gives for the motherboard model.

There is a Pro3 and a Pro3 SE

I have the Pro3, I'm sure I have the right BIOS file.

What did ASRock say?

I've submitted a support ticket yesterday but no answer so far.

Hi again, the ASRock support replies very swiftly with a Flushable version of the BIOS, I flashed it and everything works now!

Big up to the folks over at ASRock! Excellent service.

Glad you got it going.

I tried to extract the bios from the Windows exe file, but had no luck.
