We have a GA-H61M-DS2 rev 2.0 motherboard. It has an "F4" BIOS. We went to the vendors website:

http://hu.gigabyte.com/products/page/mb/ga-h61m-ds2rev_20/download/bios

and downloaded "F7", the latest BIOS version.

We already tried: 1) "Efiflash.exe H61MDS22.F7" command from windows 7/32bit, it said nothing, the command line just flashed for a second..

2) boot the win7 in "dos" mode (...) but the same thing happened.

Q: How can we upgrade the BIOS? There aren't any ways for it?
