irishbug, if post screen shows EX58-SLI then you have exactly this mobo, check the model markings on the pcb
and the only path for you is to use the -SLI bios for this particular mb.
after some longer search i have found it, look:
http://br.gigabyte.com/Support/Motherboard/BIOS_Model.aspx?ProductID=3022&ver=

Beekeeper, you got it man! Hit it right on the head. I copied the BIOS to a flash drive, and booted into Q Flash and it was going to update. I stopped short so I could get some more information on it though. Wow, how does Gigabyte get away with something like that? So confusing, the site isn't in english either, so I never would have been able to find it. Now if I can just find that page in english, I'll be good to go! LOL Maybe thats why @BIOS didn't list it either, since the next BIOS update after F9 is a (Beta) they just don't list it until it's not a Beta anymore. Thanks for taking the time for me, and thanks to all who helped and gave information on this too.

Again, thanks!

Glad you got it sorted in the end. It does seem stupid not to have your board listed as such on hte UK site though. I think you should contact Gigabyte and let them know of this error.
