Attempting to update the BIOS on my Acer Aspire TC-780(KBL) in order to unlock XMP PLEASE HELP

Sthuot

I am following the instructions provided in the appendix folder of the most recent version of the BIOS available on the Acer site. I am running R2-A0. I have tried multiple versions of the BIOS and every time I execute the bat it opens a cmd prompt for a split second and then stops executing it altogether. 

I have tried moving the folder to C: and executing the bat.

I have tried loading the WIN and ROM files to a USB drive and running it off a cmd prompt. This reboots my computer but my bios is still at the same version. 

Please advise. I am trying to unlock XMP profiles for new RAM and I assume this is what I need to do to be able to do that?

Firstly, if you don’t know what you are doing with a BIOS update then you should not proceed. Acer has a warning for BIOS updates “Upgrading your system BIOS incorrectly could harm your Acer product. Please proceed with caution” this is because you could brick your system and render it useless. That is why there are limitations on BIOS advice on this site. Take your Acer Aspire TC-780 to an Acer Service centre and get them to update your BIOS and/or give you the appropriate advice.
