ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition, not even sure if possiable if all 4 slots can be bad, but in my case i think thats the case, i swapped out the memory to other 4 slots and won't boot up, so i'm thinking 4 bad memory slots
question 1. how do i update bios? save it to flashdrive and boot from flash drive?? not sure if that even does anything in my case or what iupdating bios exactly does or if even needed to be done
2nd question look at the cpu reading shows what i o/c processor too, but it doesn't show in my computer why not??? it does show in bios though

Overclocking your CPU won't show in My Computer or in Task Manager because it's reading the name of the CPU and stock frequencies.
As for the memory slots, are you still using that insanely large kit? A BIOS update might help but I'd get that kit down and pick up a smaller but faster kit. Just because the CPU/motherboard "supports" 32/64GB doesn't mean it works great running it.

You'll have to read the manual to see how to do it, that's all I can say.
As for the memory, are you talking about this kit:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233606 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233606)
If so, unless you do RAM Disks or raw 1080p video rendering/editing or tons of huge Photoshop projects, save your $$. 6-8GB is mainstream. 16GB is more than plenty even for the most demanding games and even video rendering. Grab this instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589)
Tighter timings, better overclocking, and much cheaper.
By the time you end up using 16GB memory, you'll want to upgrade to DDR4 anyway.
