Hi
I bought an H110M ITX/AC mb from Amazon with a Kabylake processor bu nothing happens It is suggested that my MB requires a BIOS update first but the board was advertised as bing 6th and 7th Gen compatible How do I update the bios if I cant boot the thing If it is because of the processor isnt thiis a chicken egg situation? Thanks S |

Sadly yes, "chicken -> egg" for sure. While the boards are compatible no manufacturer can update the BIOS on boards that are already out of the factory and on shelves.
You have 2 options: 1. Buy, borrow or steal a compatible Skylake CPU and update the BIOS then return it. 2. Get a new BIOS chip directly from ASRock preflashed with the correct BIOS version. http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp or ASRock Tech Support contact info for those Users residing on the US.

Thank you for your quick reply
The problem here is that the seller advertised it as Gen 6 and 7 compatible Should have said Gen 7 compatible with a BIOS update
