Hi,

Unless you have a CPU that is supported by the F2 BIOS you won't be able to update your BIOS.

The only thing I can suggest would be to take the Motherboard back to where you bought it and ask them if they can Update the BIOS for you.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Yes, sorry there's no easy fix.
