My new computer unable to play Shogun because of BIOS?

[omagic]

Well its up to You Shogun 2 is one of the games that need the BIOS update( other games : Portal 2, Deus Ex...)
Also sometimes windows FX fixes helped but mostly it is required to have the newest BIOS

PS You can check the BIOS version in a program named CPU-Z

Also check here http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=8400.0
Theres a FDalpha bios that You can get from Gigabyte support

Yes it says here that i have version FC this is the correct one i've been directed to but this does not fixed the shogun 2 issue.. im guessing it's going to have to be done using that alpha build? but will i suffer with performance issues?

The only way to find out is to check it Just make sure to have a copy of Your current BIOS on a USB drive just in case

Ok , seems like that alpha build seems to think that i have a 2.8ghz proccessor and i actually bought this pc with 4.2ghz processor is this just a visual throwoff? or is my processor actually degraded itself lol.

Where did You find that 2.8ghz? BIOS shows that?

There is no 4.2Ghz processor. What they meant was that they had used a 2.8Ghz or whatever and overclocked it to run at 4.2Ghz instead. Problem is that if the BIOS gets corrupted or anything it will be overwritten by the normal Backup BIOS and the settings will go back to standard.

How can i check my current Processor speed because i also purchased an overclocked graphics card during christmas

Try downloading and running this little utility that will give you accurate and even more data than you are looking for at present. It is called CPU-Z and is available from here for free:
