How to Update your Gigabyte BIOS

[@SKULLZ4892]

Thanks for the easy to follow guide. Your video finally put an end to my 2 hour KZbin trouble shooting rabbit hole. I was able to get my BIOS updated with no issues😘

My heart was racing so fast, but thanks to your instructions everything went smoothly. THANK YOU

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

You're very welcome! I have the same reaction every time I do this process and I've done it several times, it's just that omg I hope I don't mess this up thing my brain keeps saying to me lol

[@danielvitalidba5628]

I used this video to get rid of the "App Center" black box in the middle of my screen. The trick was to make sure other programs such as this KZbin video was CLOSED at the point where you select in the App Center to update your Bios. It got rid of the black box that covered any program that you opened and was absolutely annoying. Thanks!

It seems that I failed the bios update using AppCenter. My PC auto restart like normal and even show AORUS icon a few times, but it just can’t get into Windows. Black screen now with a bottom line flashing on the top left corner. Not sure what happened *Update: After PC restart itself and wait for more than 10 mins, if there's only a White line flashing on the top left corner (this means "No working OS found") This is just because the Boot Sequence was set to USB first. I thought I failed my BIOS update and found it's not a fail.

I always worry about bricking my mb so never update bios. But am planning to update from a 2700x to a 5800x on an aurus x470 gaming 7 board so needed to make sure I could update bios to support it before ordering.

Hi, I updated my BIOS through the gigabyte software. After the installation it prompted me to restart the PC, which I did. I ended up with my PC keeps on rebooting, with no connection to the monitor. The fan on the case and on the graphics card spends in a endless loop. I've tried removing the battery on the motherboard, removing the rams, it didn't help. Can you please advise me!

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

Try turning it off for a couple mins then try restarting it. You'll need to check your monitor cable is connected to your Graphics card unless there's integrated graphics. F1 can take you into the BIOS to setup at which time you can use the F10 key to exit and save any changes. Hope it helps.

[@DiagolonRider]

did you ever get it fixed? I'm ready to upgrade my x570 3700x to a 5900x but I'm half scared to update the bios because i know something stupid like this is going to happen to me too! lol. if you have Qflash, it's a good idea to copy the bios file to a flash drive that way if something screwy happens u can at least flash the bios... even make 2 copies, one of the old working bios version and the new one

If you mean as a result of after updating your BIOS then possibly it failed or something caused it to not work because of being done improperly. If this is happening before having done a BIOS Update then it could be memory not fully inserted or your MB needs a BIOS Update because of a new CPU being incompatible. Need more info on how everything took place to give a better answer.

I purchased a B450 I AORUS PRO along with a Ryzen 7 3800X. I've been petrified to place them in. Still in their boxes. What do I do????

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

You may need to update your BIOS, check the MB Version if it's 1.2 then you may not but honestly you won't know for sure until you try to start it up and see if you get a Post. You can however if you want to update the BIOS before starting everything take the MB to your local computer shop and they will update it for you for about $50Cdn but if you don't actually need the update then it's money spent that may be for nothing. So it's put it together and it works or it doesn't then you'll need to update the BIOS anyway. I'd try it first and see and then update if it needs it, be aware the risk of updating the BIOS though if your not familiar with the process. Also there is a way to do it without CPU possibly so a search on doing that might help you out.

[@AsunoOverwatch]

why do you put the file on a flash drive and not just put it on the desktop, then select it?

[@AsunoOverwatch]

Can I not do this without a flash drive?

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

As far as I'm aware you will need a Drive to put the BIOS file on, never seen it done without it or with it on the desktop.

[@chamok_sazid_24_]

@@AsunoOverwatch you definetly can

[@zootglass]

When you save the old bios to the C drive before updating does it just place the old bios file in your c drive directory, it doesn’t create a new folder or is just a singular file?

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

Actually I've never bothered to save it, I always take the chance and it works. However I believe it will be just a single file.

[@nanoano88]

This method to update BIOS don't seem to work anymore. I started Gigabyte's @BIOS from Gigabyte's App Center (with and without running as administrator), but @BIOS exited when I tried to update BIOS from file. I also tried to update the BIOS by updating it from Gigabyte's servers in @BIOS, but it just give an error. The method that worked for me was to unzip the new BIOS file into a USB-memory (FAT32 formatted) and update BIOS in BIOS.

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

Yeah, this should still work but if its not now, then if you have M-Flash or Q-Flash both of those methods work well also. Thanks

[@thisfeatureisbad]

@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Neither the Q-Flash utility works. The whole UEFI interface just locks up after selecting any of the USB drives.

Staying on F13 BIOS for z370 series. Updating lowered the R15 score from 2300 to 1800 (9900k 5GHz). The F14 enables resizable bar, but almost no real world instance utilizes it, so I don't need it. The security risks are non-existent as no one has ever demonstrated the meltdown spectre exploits to this day. Not gonna happen in a real world situation.

A USB Drive is often the best choice because it can be small and quick to use, but you can use any device ie HD/SSD in an external HD enclosure or anything your ok with not losing your DATA off of. There are other choices this is just the one most chosen.

hey, idk if you read comments but I am having a few issues trying to do this. i went to my mother board on the gigabyte website, i went to support and i got the app center, i also got the @BIOS utility. i then downloaded the latest bios for my mother board and put it on a usb like you said, i went into @BIOS and i selected "from a file" i chose the bios file, it clicked all the "next buttons" then it tied to do it but it said "update @BIOS beofre updating your bios" so then on the app center i looked at the live update thing and it said that there is an update for the @BIOS utility but it updates it to a version greater than the one displayed on their website which makes no sense. then i tryed to update the bios again but i got the same message telling me to update my @BIOS utility before. i restarted by pc and when i came back on it said there was an update for the app center whcih again updated that to a version greater than the one displayed on their website. and i tried to update bios again but still the same error so idk what to do at this point

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

This is not something I've ever run into before, usually once you update the app center it should be good, check on the top that it's not trying to get you to update something else, what I mean by this is there are tabs with arrows that can let you scroll all the way to the right. It's possible that something else is preventing it from updating. If none of that works, then you could try updating the BIOS using a different way of doing it, ie this method uses the app center but there are ways to do it otherwise. I haven't done other methods yet but there are other videos you can search for that should help you out. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

I'm sorry you are having issue's but updating a BIOS always has an element of risk to it, which I mention several times in the video. One thing you can still try however is that most Gigabyte MBs have a Dual BIOS, so you can load the backup BIOS and it could fix things. I hope that helps.

[@ForeverGoth]

ty this video helped me, however for backstory see below: what brought me to updating bios was my pc restarting every night at 6am with an event view reporting the crash. googled the error code in event viewer, found out (from reddit) I could try disabling Global C-state in the BIOS which was out of date by 3 years. Updated APP Center. . . Updated BIOS. . . disabled C-state. . . hopefully this solves my problem as there is absolutely no reason why my pc should be restarting every night. Will update my comment to see if it solves my problem. Also Updating BIOS from APP Center failed (Before I updated it). Had to Q-Flash a BIOS update through the BIOS menu when restarting (Delete key for me). I used a FAT32 flash drive to do it.

So its possible the Gigabyte BIOS app isn't working correctly. There are a couple other ways to update the BIOS, I'd try either M-Flash or BIOS Flash Back. Will depend on your MB but most current MBs will have this. So it'll mean going into the Manufacturer's website and downloading the BIOS the corresponds to your specific MB, (ensure you have the correct one) then place the USB into a USB Port and or the BIOS Flash Back USB Port if you have one and update using one of those methods. The easiest way would be the M-Flash method, and you'll see what's going on with warnings and such so you can be sure its being done right. Remember don't turn of the PC or lose power while the BIOS is updating or you could render your Motherboard useless. Honestly look up the method for M-Flash as its the easiest method to do. Hope that helps.

You can check to see if there is a newer update for the audio from your MB Manufacturer, I had a similar issue and couldn't find out why either and it turned out it was because of a Microsoft Update the next update fixed it, so you can check and see if there are any updates and that might fix it.

If your app center is not working and you've tried the way to fix it in this video, then it'd be best to not use it to update your BIOS as if it failed mid way that would be really bad for the MB and it could stop working. I'd suggest updating the BIOS using either Q Flash, or other method a quick search should give some good suggestions for doing it.

i installed the gigabyte app center but dont have Bios listed there, or anything else in Gigabyte apps. do I nee to install something else along to work?

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

It should have all the info related to your Utilities and BIOS, if it's not all there you might want to re-install it. It is available on Gigabyte website. However you can install it by downloading the latest BIOS to a USB Drive and updating it that way. There are different ways to update the BIOS this is just one way. Hope that helps.

nice video... i own x570 aorus master mobo with a dual bios config with dual bios switches....so will this process also update the backup bios?

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

It will update your current BIOS, the system won't try to access the Backup BIOS unless something were to go wrong. It's a chip on the MB that helps to restore your system in the event of a failed BIOS. There's no need to back it up that I'm aware of.

You can update the BIOS without the app center, it's just easier sometimes, you can also flash the BIOS which is first downloading a BIOS File, and doing it that way. I haven't done a video doing it that way yet but there are YT videos that can help you with it. Here is a video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKHbl3aehs6Sndk hope it helps.

@@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM Yes that should work. I have no idea why app center no longer works, I can't uninstall even though it says its installed when I try to use the installer, its a mess just keeps throwing errors. I am currently backing up my main SSD, probably going to wipe it and reinstall windows sometime next week and see if that cleans up some of the weird issues I'm having. Just got a GTX 3070 and Nvidia surround (3 monitors) crashes my computer then puts it in an infinite restart loop until I go into safe mode and uninstall the Gforce driver.

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

I'd try doing the BIOS update by either Flash BIOS, Q Flash or whatever method is available with your motherboard. If you think this won't work because the DLL error is from a missing DLL File they you could first try updating the DLL Library or redownload the app from the manufacturer website. I believe Q Flash is the best option for you.

i tried updating z690 aorus master motherboard and it just straight up failed and canceled itself despite the fact i was updating to newer version. nothing broke so i have no idea what went wrong there

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

Double check both the MB version and ensure it's the exact BIOS for your MB. Also ensure the Gigabyte App is updated to the most recent version as well. If you've already done this then I'd suggest going direct to the Manufacturer's website and download the most recent version of your BIOS to a USB Stick and update your BIOS from there using BIOS Flashback or whatever is available to you on that MB. Hope that helps. Of course remember if things are working great now then best not to update the BIOS unless needed and that there is always a risk with updating your BIOS that could if done wrong cause your MB to no longer function. There warning done lol...Good luck.

[@mcspartan660]

hello i have gigabyte a320M-H motherboard (rev.1) and using it with a ryzen 3 3200g and as Amd announced that a320 will also support the 5000 series CPU so i wanna update my bios, currently its on F51 and the latest one out there is F56a should i update it directly or update to previous versions first?

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

Looking at your MB there isn't a F51 that I see it's F52 and goes to F56a as you mentioned. If you meant your on F52 and can you go to F56a then yes you could update to F56a directly. Keep in mind that there are risk with updating your BIOS that can result in your Motherboard not working if something goes wrong. No matter what you do though double check the BIOS Version you have and make sure you are choosing the correct Motherboard or you could corrupt your BIOS. Hope that helps.

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

So usually the "oemid mismatch" means your using the wrong BIOS File, or if your system was a pre-built from a specific manufacturer sometimes you need to go to their website and get the BIOS file from there. Not sure why it would make a difference just that it can sometimes.

What MB Exactly are you using and Revision ie 1.0, 1.1 or ? it makes a difference when choosing it. The ones I looked at show a different MB BIOS to use.

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

Check to see if you can update the BIOS using Q-Flash in the BIOS, its super easy or using F8 button selecting the USB Drive and follow on screen prompts to confirm and start the BIOS update. You'll need to download the BIOS File for your specific MB first to a USB Drive, insert it to a USB Port and either the Q Flash method or from file method will be other ways to do it. Hope that helps. Depending on the method you decide to use look up a video on it and follow the steps. Q Flash if its available is the easiest method imo though.

There is a BIOS Flashback option, or using the Gigabyte App you can update it through that as well but instead of a USB you could download the file to a folder, or straight from a Server but the least risky is the USB.
