The way that I updated my motherboard is a bit of a pain. I bought a CPU for the motherboard that did work at the Bios level of F1, which was the initial revision level for the motherboard. When this CPU was installed everything came up as it should. With CPU I then updated the Bios to the most recent release, which is F4E in my case. Once this was done I then installed the CPU that I originally purchased and everything was ok. This was how I did it.

There are other ways but they all required that you have a copy of the Bios on floppy or USB Disk etc. Although in my case, and yours too, this was not available until the system was up. Catch 22.

Anyway, I bought a cheap CPU and got the board updated. Hope this is of help.
