Mobo: Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H F1 AWARD BIOS
OS: Windows 7 64
I recently upgraded my processor to a AMD Athlon II X4 635 and most websites cannot detect it, along with benchmark programs and such, they just say it cannot be detected. I've been told that updating my BIOS might fix this problem, but when I went to gigabyte's website and downloaded the newest BIOS for my particular mobo, I got an error saying that they're not compatibility with this version of Windows, saying that I need the 64bit version, however there is nothing available.
I downloaded Gigabyte's @Bios program and it says there is no available update for my current motherboard (even though the website says different). Doing a little research, I think it has to do something with the fact that the BIOS vendor is AWARD BIOS, but have no idea what that means or how to fix it.
If this is something that cannot be fixed, I'll have to live with it, but if anyone knows anything I can do, please let me know!
