Won't let me flash BIOS.

[zukster]

I downloaded the most recent BIOS for my motherboard (GA-MA770-UD3 rev1.0) so I can use my new AM3 CPU. It is saying that these BIOS are for the wrong system. I downloaded them right from gigabyte ( http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2982#bios ). Any idea's why it won't let me update the BIOS?

1. are you absolutely sure of which motherboard you have? CPUID or Glarys Utilities can tell you what board you have.

2. I have the same board (rev 2.1) for my HTPC.

3. Try downloading it from a different location.

What method are you using to update? Qflash through boot menu with USB flash dive? Floppy disk? @BIOS within windows?

I had recent Gigabyte MB that would ONLY update using @BIOS within windows.

Make sure you have the model number and HW rev from the silkscreen on the board.

I got it now. I'm a total noob when it comes to flashing and didn't know you needed @bios. Sorry for the trouble.
