Today I installed Saints Row: The Third from Steam and tried to play it. I immediately noticed horrible lag problems + crashing. I looked up the issue and saw that Saints Row doesn't like to play on AMD computers and updating my motherboard should help.
I went here: STEAM enabled games on AMD FX platforms and tried to install the ASRock update. It gave me the error "Firmware does not have flash (AFUWINGUI) support." I'm not sure what's causing this since I'm pretty sure I have an ASRock.
I fixed the lag temporarily with a program but it doesn't help with the crashing.
Right now I don't have a spare flash drive or a blank CD I can install the BIOS from. I went here and used the Windows download: ASRock > Products > Motherboard > 990FX Extreme4 > Download but I get the error when I try to update the way it said.
