amd 64 x2 6000 unknown cpu?

[Winnter]

Hi i wonder if anyone can help me please.
I recently bought a x2 6000 but my trouble is that the bios is not showing it as a amd 64 x2 6000.Instead its showing amd 64 x2 6000 unknown cpu.my mobo is M2N-E
I know i need to do a bios update,But i have tryed that but when i go and use asus update,Just after i press the flash button my pc freezes,I went to leave my pc for a few hours to see if anything happens..But the screen is still the same..Then i went into the bios,And tryed using the asus ez flash 2 utility but when i put the bios file which i download on the cd..it cant find the file so i cant upgrade the bios
Does anyone know what to do.
Thanks

Hi thanks for the replys.
I need to make the file into a fat23/16/12 file for it to work,That what it says in the manual..

Do this:

Rename the .bin file into M2N-E.bin .
Burn onto cd.
Keep cd in, turn off your pc.
Turn on your pc, immediatly @ post press ALT + F2.
Should start the onboard flash progra, it'll scan for bios on floppy and cdrom, make sure u name it M2N-E.bin though, as it will say no bios found if you dont...

Much easier than the boot into DOS and use DOS app rubbish.
Works on all asus boards since ages.

Snowdog i did try doing what you said,But when i press alt + f2 nothing happens.
anyother ideas?

But it does not pick anything up from the CD..
I Might just give up i think
