Bios Update Problems

[herb]

so recently i built an lga 775 based system focusing on mass compatibility with past and future storage methods.

it has the following specs:

 

c2d e8400

8gb ddr2 800mhz

intel dg35ec motherboard

antec 400w psu

256gb samsung ssd

roswill fmb-01 case

optical + floppy drive

usb 3.0 card

creative labs soundblaster midi/audio card

 

When i initially started the system it booted right up and i got into the bios to check that everything was working correctly. it seemed to be ok so i went right to try installing windows 10. when i tryed to install windows the computer would get to the blue windows logo stop for 2-3 min then restart itself (this happened continuously). i originally thought i might have had to do with the fact i was using a usb instead of a disk since this system is older, so i switched to a windows 7 disk but this time it didnt even get to the windows logo. i was then very confused as to what was happening because this has never happened to me before. i then started looking into possible bios support issues. i found on intels website that the latest bios for this motherboard supported windows 7 so i just had to get the bios download and update my bios.... easy right??? On intel motherboards from this day and age you are suposed to be able to hit f7 at start to launch a bios update utility but for some reason my motherboard wont initiate it when i hit f7. At this point im not really sure what to do because i cant update the bios to get the OS i want.

 

Any Ideas?

Its probably F7 from the BIOS, not from boot up.
