Instrumentation/electronics engineer whose been building and maintaining pc’s since the early DOS days so not someone who doesn’t know his way around a PC. But would that flash the bios the machine was booted with, or the one currently selected by the switch.
Was thinking maybe I could start the PC using the backup bios then flick the bios switch to MAIN BIOS and then flash with an earlier bios file.
Now afraid to do anything in case I lose the backup bios. This motherboard would have done me for a few more years to come so I want a solution to what is, in my opinion, a bios software problem. and now it looks as if the main bios is no longer viable even though I used the correct file and followed the correct procedure. So here I am with what I thought was the most reliable motherboard (Ultra durable, dual bios) and I can’t get into the bios or use the Function keys to select boot device, etc. Have managed to boot the PC up again by using the BIOS-SW switch on the motherboard to select the backup bios. After reboot I am just left with a flashing cursor in the top left corner of the screen, with 'A9' displayed on the led display.
#Cant get into bios quickboot update
Disconnected all drives thinking that may force it to display the bios settings, but it just says ‘Reboot and select proper boot device.įinal possible solution was to flash the bios with the latest ver10b update using the utility. Fastboot shows the changes have been made each time when rebooted, but the PC still boots straight into windows without showing the GigaByte logo and DEL, F2, F12 still don’t work so I can’t use those options. If I change it to fast boot and back to normal again. Shorting the cmos reset pins, pressed the cmos reset button, left the cmos battery out all night, tried various combinations of the BIOS-SW and SB switches, Downloaded and run fastboot.exe. With fast boot enabled I couldn’t use the DEL key at startup. Enabled fast boot in the bios at the time, but now I need to disable it.
