I flashed this f5 bios this evening with usb flash drive and board would not post after completion. All I get is an endless series of restarts. I'm going to leave the battery out tonight and try again tomorrow with a different cpu.
what usb formatting method did you use for your flash drive?..FAT32?
i used a FAT32 USB drive to flash and i had problems in flashing the board...i think the USB drive had a file corruption....as soon as i re-formatted the USB drive and then re-flashed the board, everything worked just fine.
Thanks PaPa SuMrF
Yes Gigabyte only work with Fat not Fat32. I have USB , but also have a small HD partition. THe HD was recognised & worked with Asus boards , but not with Gigabyte. As soon as I reformatted back to FAT it was recognised etc.,
hopesorts you.I'm going to leave the battery out tonight
The Q-bios recognized it as a drive, listed the f5 along with the other bioses I had on there from previous successful flashes, flashed successfully and showed the restart menu, which I did and that was the end of it. Reboot loop. I really should have stayed with 5d, it was working well but you know how it is. I just had to![]()
Hi loonym,
Is the battery still out ?? Or was it no help ??
I just had tothink we alkl do that
Does it make any difference if you only use 1 stick of ram ??
I put the battery back in tried reseating the processor, tried an e8400, x3360, and q6600, 1 stick, 2 stick, no stick, 2 different kits, vid, no vid, the whole gammut. I had a feeling last night when it did that reboot loop thing it was bricked. Worse I ever got prior was that second virtual bios screen (the blank thing, recoverable) but when it wouldn't even post that I knew it was done. Gigabyte rma not so bad, they may just reprogram bios and send back same board. Tons better than the ds3l I have going back with the exploded mosfet![]()
Still a bummer though mate, sorry to hear it. Touch wood I've not had a problem flashing with gigabyte You would think that the 2nd chip would cover you in such a case.
Hope it doesn't take too long.
luck![]()
it killed my system too spent 1 hour with tech support have to RMA the board. THIS SUCK GIGABYTE !!!! seemed they released a bad bios flash
