The RAM i bought is 1.9v. So i need to go in to the bios and change the voltage to 1.9v. right? My second question is..Is there any way to change the mobo dram voltage with out any ram installed in to the mobo? or do i have to buy a small stick of 1.8v RAM to get in to the bois and change the dram voltage?
 
Just plug the RAM in and see if it works. If it doesn't then either buy a cheap stick and update the BIOS or have a shop update it for you (usually cheaper than buying a stick)

Will my mobo go DOA?

No, you can't hurt anything by trying it. If it doesn't work, that board will power on and off every couple seconds. To stop it pull the power cord from your power supply or flip the switch on the back to off (very important: this not the voltage selector switch). If your board does that power on/off loop it's not DOA it just means the BIOS doesn't like your memory and updating it to the newest verion will fix it.

How do you update it to a newer version?
 
With the flash program. Either from windows or the floppy based one. How exactly is in the manual for your board.
