Tried updating my bios but when attempting to through the bios itself it states “not a valid bios” even though it’s through the updater built in??

Do you mean you’re getting an error message saying the “selected file is not a proper BIOS file”?

Or are you getting a different error? If it’s the above, you’ll need to remove and redownload the updated BIOS, as it was corrupted during download, and you’ll need to make sure you have a stable connection while downloading to avoid it happening again.

If you’re getting a different error I’d need to know the exact wording to help any further.
