Update Bios?

[Wesrb]

So a couple of days ago I made a post on the forum saying I could not get my new (well new to me) motherboard ( Intel DQ67SW) and cpu to work (

) Anyways I ended up saying that I thought the motherboard was not compatible with the cpu i was putting in it (an i5 3330). I later found out, today, that it was indeed compatible and it was listed as it that way too. For it to work I need to update the bios because it doesn't support 3rd gen i5s out of the box but intel has a bios update for it. The problem is this time that I cannot Update a bios if my pc will not even boot to the bios (obviously). Any suggestions? I am thinking about just seeing if a computer shop will do it,but I'm kinda iffy about it because it will probably end up being more money than I bought the board and Cpu for.

Best/only option would be to see if local shop has a 2nd gen CPU you can use to do the BIOS flash, or if they will do it. If not, then check Ebay or local craigslist or similar service and see if there is one for sale you can pick up cheaply.

Hope that you can find an older model CPU to get the BIOS update taken care of.  That way you can avoid having to deal with a computer shop.  The computer shop here in town (only one), charges $85 an hour and minimum charge is one hour regardless if they can fix it in 10 minutes.  No way around it, going to cost $85 for that first hour no matter what you do.  Hope where you are things are somewhat better in that repair shops don't charge an arm and a leg for something so easy to do as update a BIOS.

thanks bois will do probably tomorrow since the shops probably won't be open today. I have thought about buying a cheap 2nd gen but they are around the same price as the cpu I just bought
