BIOS update

Hey guys,

So I'm trying to update the BIOS on my the PC i just built, but am having some difficulties. The guy at MicroCenter, who was very knowledgeable, told me what to do, and it says exactly the same thing on the EVGA support page.

Download the BIOS update, burn the .iso file to a cd, set the cd-rom drive as the first boot priority and the bios update would run.

So I did all of that.. and the BIOS update did not run, I was just brought straight to Windows like a regular startup.. any ideas?

thanks!

When the PC was booting up there was no screen (white text on black) that said something like, "Press any key to boot from CD..."?
