Dear MSI forums!
I have an MSI z68a-gd65 running win7 with a sandy bridge(i5-2500k) that recently had a graphics card die(radeon hd 5850). Unfortunately, it seems that in order to use anything newish, I need to do a bios update!
This forum seems to have a few great resources on how to do it safely (in particular, the topics I've read show that if you do it wrongly, a missing Intel ME file can result in a boot loop/bricked board).
I think there was a forum software transition somewhere along the lines because solutions and files are dead links
Example threads:
I guess my question boils down to this: How do I update my bios to ME8 and latest version safely?
A step by step/how to would be VERY much appreciated.
Follow up question: in the event the flash does not work, how do I recover? I know it has to do with CMOS battery/jumpers/clear cmos button but have not had to perform the operation before.
Thank you!
