How to update BIOS on my new board as I cant get it to update from windows. I have BIOS but I don't know how to run it from USB.

Get the latest BIOS from here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19845/BIOS-Update-IDG4510H-86A-

You want the .BIO file. Copy this to a CD-R Or DVD-R

Now you need to find the BIOS Configuration Jumper. Its just to the left of the from panel LED connectors and just below the battery. (A Diagram can be found on page 52/53 of the product guide here: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15991/eng/DG45ID_ProductGuide01_English.pdf)

Pull the jumper off, put the prepared CD-R/DVD-R (With just the .BIO File) in the optical drive and boot the system. Leave it for a little while and it should recover the latest BIOS and post. Then just shut the system down, put the jumper back, reboot and you are done.

You could try sticking it on the root of a USB flash drive and then pressing the F7 key on bootup. That may allow you to flash it but I cant recall if that was on that board or implemented later.

When you say you cant do it from windows do you mean that the install exe doesn't work?

How strange.. The only reason I can think of is that your version of .net framework isn't the latest as I have had no issues at all with the .exe but then again I can create my own.
