Hi:

 

You have to read the instructions for the BIOS flash files.

 

Note what it says on v3.04 under the revision history tab...

 

If upgrading from a v02.xx to this version, v03.00, the user MUST FIRST FLASH TO v02.99.


If not, upgrading to v03.xx will be rejected.

 

So, update the BIOS to v02.99, restart the PC and then update to v03.04.

 

I would use the F10 flash system rom method.

 

That is the safest way to update the BIOS.
