Hey everyone,

I've got a z97 pro (wifi) motherboard that I would like to use my Intel i5-4590 with. Unfortunately, the board requires a BIOS update to support that processor. I follow the process (http://event.asus.com/2012/mb/USB_BIOS_Flashback_GUIDE/) and no matter what I do, the flashback LED flashes 3-4 times and then goes solid green.

Here's my exact process with pictures/screenshots:
Does anyone have any clue what to do about this? I've tried 4 different USB sticks, I've tried FAT16, FAT32, and NFTS (on all of the sticks), tried naming the file differently, tried the 8 pin CPU power connector in addition to the 24 pin mobo connector, tried the 24 pin alone, and still nothing changes. The only clue I have to go off of is that the light flashes once more when the USB is formatted as NFTS (with the proper filename of Z97P.CAP).

Thanks for any help
