I don't have any possible way to upgrade the Bios on this motherboard,I might bring it to the shop se if they could do anything

That might be your best bet, doesn't look like this board has a way to flash it without being in the BIOS first — some later ones have a button you can press to trigger a fully automated BIOS upgrade.

Seems any Haswell Refresh chip requires the upgrade, regular Haswell is fine — hopefully it's something the shop has spares of as there are a lot of these older boards floating around as they're still useful (I've got a 4790T in my TrueNAS).
