I hope some of you arent too distracted by the wedding to answer my question.

I'm asking on behalf of a friend and english is not their first language, so I could use some simple steps to follow.

Motherboard is a MSI 770 C45, the reason for updating is for 6 core cpu support, he has just installed a 6 core amd chip and it doesnt seem to be operating at full speed.

http://eu.msi.com/service/download/bios-12989.html Link to the update download.

I will now paste a portion of the readme file;

Reflash BIOS by USB Disk Under DOS Mode Procdure

1. Know your model number
a. Open your case and look for the MS-XXXX number on the motherboard between the PCI slots, also check the version number that is written there as well. (Some motherboards are named like P45 Diamond; make sure you have the right version number)

b. Boot up your system & take a look at the top left screen during POST, you should see something like “A7516IMS V1.4 082708” This means the board is MS-7516 with BIOS version 1.4
Hint: Many systems are clearing this message very fast, the bios version is then unreadable, and you can either press “PAUSE” or disable the “Quick Boot” in the BIOS setup.

2. Download the BIOS that matches your motherboard AND version number (some motherboards are named like P45 Diamond; make sure you have the right version number) to your USB devise. BIOS can be found according to the CPU type of your board like if your CPU is Intel 775 type then look here
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodpage2&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170

Or if your CPU is AMD AM2+ type then look here
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodpage2&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171

3. Extract the BIOS-archive that you have downloaded by double clicking to bootable USB device.

4. Boot your system from a USB device

5. When you get the DOS prompt, type the following sequence:
(assuming USB Flash drive uses F:/ (F Prompt)
F:>cd<space> XXXXVXX(document name) <enter>
F:\XXXXVXX>afud4234<space>AXXXXIMS.XXX(bios name) <enter>

6. Reboot your system when prompted

I have posted the directions for USB, since that is what he is using and does not have access to a floppy drive.

Where it says F:>cd<space> XXXXVXX(document name) I am not sure what document name would be.

I think bios name is 7599v19 so I'm clear on that bit.

Thanks for your help people in advance :)
 
Isn't it much easier to use the M-Flash utility in the BIOS?

1) Put the new BIOS file on a FAT32 formatted memory stick

2) Put the memory stick in the PC while it's turned off

3) Turn on the PC and go into the BIOS

4) Select the M-Flash utility

5) Follow the on screen instructions to flash the BIOS

Simples.
