I've seen and read so many posts on this with no real final possible results to properly flash a bios on a gateway DX4860.  This would be amazing if I can get this resolved.  I have a i7-2600 CPU and I've read in my manual that the DX4860 can and would support an i7-3770 so I bought a used Working I7-3770 but the issue is that I cannot flash my bios... I follow the steps when I download the new bios from Gateway, it reads the bios, then it says that ROM file size does not match existing BIOS size.  Ton's of posts out there on this issue with no resolve.

    The motherboard is designed for 2nd gen chips, not 3rd gen.
