BIOS flashing help

[Pauleh]

Hey all, I have a Asus P5N-SLI motherboard and I am trying to flash a new bios to it. I was desperately trying to put windows 10 on the computer, after giving up I tried to put in windows 7. The computer got the the "STARTING WINDOWS" screen then blue screened. I looked this up online and people were saying that this was easily fixed by a bios update. Seeing as I still had the original bios on my computer that seemed reasonable. I got a 1gb flash drive formatted to FAT as others suggested. I clicked select on the update i wanted in the EZ flash 2 program and it gave me this message "downgraded ROM file was not suitable for the system". I tried all the other updates on the site and tried to see if it would work in FAT32, I even tried a CD rom.   Please help.

Wrong Revision. Check directly the Mainboard which Version it hast.  Rev 1.0 or 2.1 whatever. Do a picture of your Mainboard or give the Fall Name so we could Check which BIOS you need

It's the P5NSLI rev. 2.00G

Sorry for the bad cable management. It's a top mount non modular PSU with a case that has no cable management areas. I'll fix it up later.
