OK, so I just finished a custom build: ASUS Maximus Extreme, Intel Q9450 @ stock, 2GB of OCZ DDR3 1333 RAM, 9800GTX, WD250GB HDD, and OCZ 750watt PSU.
SO! now the problem

Whenever I power on the system, everything works fine, UNTIL the system says that there the CPU is unrecognizable and that I need a BIOS update, I currently have v0905. So then it says press F1 to continue to the BIOS setup, so i press that, and everything is 100% normal, recognizes everything, nothing weird going on. So, to boil this down to the questions...

1) I've tried flashing the BIOS, but for some reason I cannot succeed, I will look for more tuts tonight though.

2) does anybody have ANY idea whats going on?
