How do you update the BIOS with an ISO file?

[Grant Dahl]

So I have an older motherboard (EVGA GeForce 730a) and I need to update the BIOS. I’ve had some problems recently  and I think installing a new bios could help. I have one problem thought, the only file available for a bios update is an iso file and I don’t have a dvd drive. Does anybody have recommendations on how to go about this? I’m trying to avoid bricking my board. Thanks for any help.

I assume the ISO is just a "copy of a CD" the bios was shipped to customers on, or something. Can you open the ISO and see if there is a zip or file in it?

 

Also, the mobo shouldn't let you flash it with a file it doesn't first verify. Like, you can just try and flash a mobo with something totally random, at least, shouldn't be able to. So if you need to extract the BIOS first from the ISO, theoretically it won't let you even try to flash it with the ISO itself.

I’ve been able to open the ISO but I don’t know which file is the bios. Also, what else has to be in the flash drive to successfully flash the bios?

It should be a file with the bios number as the name of it. And shouldn't need anything else at all.
