How to update American Megatrends bios

bios

I have a American Megatrends F8 31/05/2012 v2.7 bios which I need to update for my new graphics card. Where can I find the newest bios for this version?

I attempted to run the AMI bios updater utility but it failed with an error "Flash part is not supported".

I downloaded it from here: https://ami.com/en/download-license-agreement/?DownloadFile=AMIBIOS8_AMI_Firmware_Update_Utility.zip

I'm not even sure if this is the right tool for me. There support documentation seems limited. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Best Answer

See your motherboard manufacturer and its model. Then, on the official website of the manufacturer search for your model and see if they have a updated version of the BIOS you currently have

To check your BIOS currently running run this on cmd:

wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion

BIOS installation varies (they can include a Windows application that does that for you or you need to create a bootable USB with the BIOS files).

Be aware: Updating BIOS is an advanced process and if you do it wrong you can break the whole system. Proceed with caution, read the motherboard manual before anything else.
