    im buying this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188012 and the CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115052 on the motherboard page it says "Support Intel Wolfdale with BIOS update from EVGA.com" but how do i unstall the bios update if i cant use the cpu till i do. I never did this before so any help would be great ty

    I bought the cpu and MB already I need a way to make it work with what i have i dont have money to buy another cpu and use that then return it. In fact i dont have any money left really.

    Well actually, I don't think you will be able to unless you have an extra CPU.

    If the BIOS has a flashing utility built in, you may be able to load the new BIOS onto a bootable floppy/flash drive and flash the mobo with that. I know my motherboard has it, but I am not sure if EVGA has it.

    Well you need to format the disk first for it to be bootable. I am not sure about the rest as I have never experienced this problem before.

    You could just try the CPU in the motherboard - maybe it will work? You never know. Try it without the cpu if you want to... I have never done this stuff before so I cannot help that much more... Sorry.
