There is always something new to learn in these bios videos. I would never have seen the bios button on the motherboard. My old brain only looks on IO ! Thanks Mike and Kath 🐈👍
Great video Mike, unfortunately it didn't work on my Gigabyte B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE. I wanted to do a all white themed build. Could never get it to boot at all. Just hanging on with that red light with the G.Skill DDR5 6400 speed memory. I spent hours trying to get this to work. I don't have other parts to test it with except my power supply on my X570 Asus build. Half the time, my fans would turn on and then off and power supply would just shut off. Even switching my power supply form the x570, it did the same thing. I tried the Q flash and I let it blink and it would not stop blinking. Finally I gave up after letting it blink for over an hour and tried it again with my usb 32 gig sandisk. The same thing, just the same speed blinking for an hour. I don't build pc's to often, like maybe every 5 years. I never used Gigabyte before and despite the negative comments in years past from my friends who have a pc business to stay away from Gigabyte, I want to give them a try. The board was white and stunning looking. It's boing back to Microcenter tomorrow. This is the first time that I had a motherboard fail on me. I haven't built to many pc's but maybe 10 or so going back to the early 2000's. Well, I finally tried Gigabyte and I will never try them again. I mostly do Asus, Asrock. Another thing about Gigabyte, It's pretty telling that they don't tell you how to use the Q Flash feature. Personally that's a sign to stay away from them in my book.
What am i doing wrong? So the part where i plug it in and hold the button 3 seconds, its not flashing its just coming on for a second and then turn off. Its not flashing the lights constantly
Nvm. I just found the solution. The problem was that I didn't type correctly the name of the driver. So make sure it is "gigabyte.bin" to make it work. After that it should be working correctly
Wow I wasnt expecting the first search result to be perfect. The exact board too. I was in a hurry first building with it and skipped the bios update (old CPU not a huge deal). But I'm doing some work on the PC and wondering how safe this will be for a board that's already installed and functional? I would prefer not to remove the CPU or cooler but I can probably unslot the ram and ssds if necessary. Is it worth the risk updating or should I just stick with my current version?
I have this exact mobo, I'm stuck on DRAM light. I ordered new ram from corsair (SIMPLE was what I have) and comes today. Praying it will fix my inability to POST. If not, this is my next step. I need to do the renaming part as well, i'm guessing? Since I can't access the bios?
@@mikesunboxing Actually Sad I missed this notifaction. I did try those basic trouble shooting steps first. swapped channel's, cleared CMOS, Each stick in each slot 1 by 1, no luck was stuck at DRAM light. New RAM arrived and it booted right up. RAM was DOA. Better than the mobo!
Hi, maybe one of you could help me. I bought this motherboard, Ryzen 5 7600 and Lexar 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz. Unfortunately, after starting it, even though the fans are working, it does not detect the image, keyboard and mouse. The DRAM LED is lit red. I tried different ram, but nothing changed. I'm waiting for the equipment to be sent back for complaints, but is it worth trying to update the BIOS yourself? If this is a problem. Maybe someone had similar components... (sorry for my English)

@@mikesunboxing do you know how i Can check What version it is pre installed with? And also, Can i use a 64gb usb stick to Update the bios if i just format the stick to fat32?
Hi Mike. This is 2024 and updating a PC BIOS should be an automated process. Like, Insert formated thumb drive into USB port marked BIOS. Open BIOS, click UPDATE BIOS, answer YES. Go to McDonald's and order dinner. Return home and the BIOS has been updated. I quess I'm living in a PC Dreamworld.
@@mikesunboxing Hi Mike and thanks for your reply. I hope sooner than later, as I'm 74. While watching your video I thought at times I was back in the good old MS-DOS days. I still have my MS-DOS for Dummies handbook.

I was having trouble getting into bios because it couldn’t receive any of my parts. doing this I got right into bios after it updated. Big thanks.
Glad I could help!
Loves me a mobo BIOS update, thanks for sharing 🙂
No problem 👍useful when trying to get to sleep!
@@mikesunboxingmine after i press the button.. after few seconds like 1 or 2 seconds, it turns off.. what is the possible cause?

These never get old. Great job Dynamic Duo. Thanks for sharing. Take care everyone. Cheers
Thanks, you too! as long as you all keep watching we will keep making them

yeah it was a bit odd placement
I feel bad for people having a Giga MB 😞
Once i did go MSI MB i'll never go back 👍
Thank you MUB HQ for helping the poor Giga MB users 😀
thanks old friend
Thank you for sharing this, dear sir! You just saved my behind. Much love from Germany, plus one sub!
thank you very much

yeah i don't really feel confident with gigabyte, they look good but seem to be very hit and miss from what i am hearing
What am i doing wrong? So the part where i plug it in and hold the button 3 seconds, its not flashing its just coming on for a second and then turn off. Its not flashing the lights constantly
could be a short circuit or the power supply not connected properly
Did you make it work? I got the same issue
Nvm. I just found the solution. The problem was that I didn't type correctly the name of the driver. So make sure it is "gigabyte.bin" to make it work. After that it should be working correctly
Make sure your usb is plugged into the BIOS usb
Very Informative video. Just ordered an MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk and was wondering if the process is the same😊Cheers mate
No worries thanks for watching
what would the issue be if my psu doesnt turn off or reboots but instead goes straight to the dram led light indeffinetly
i don't think so, more likely the RAM not fully inserted or in the wrong slots
Can i do this method if i have already build the pc and it doesnt display anything or should i remove everything from the motherboard?
yes you can
@@mikesunboxing thanks

it is fine to update the bios after the build and probably better to update the bios from actually inside the bios in the PC works
Do I have to upgrade every update one by one or just the latest, i dont want to brick it :D
should be okay jumping to the newest version. your board can't be very old anyway
is ryzen 7 7700x compatible with this mother board without ant bios flash?
yes it is
Do you have to flash it for it to work? Or can you flash it when windows is already installed?
If your cpu isn’t compatible then you need to flash to be able to install windows
@@mikesunboxing ok thanks
good one
Thank you! Cheers!
I have this exact mobo, I'm stuck on DRAM light. I ordered new ram from corsair (SIMPLE was what I have) and comes today. Praying it will fix my inability to POST. If not, this is my next step. I need to do the renaming part as well, i'm guessing? Since I can't access the bios?
try one stick of ram only in slot 2 to begin with and then try the other stick one might be faulty or it is taking a really long time for RAM training
@@mikesunboxing Actually Sad I missed this notifaction. I did try those basic trouble shooting steps first. swapped channel's, cleared CMOS, Each stick in each slot 1 by 1, no luck was stuck at DRAM light. New RAM arrived and it booted right up. RAM was DOA. Better than the mobo!
Can u flash the pc if its already all setup or do i have to take it all apart again😊
you can do it when fully built, but i recommend a bare board for easier diagnosis is it won't flash

have you soled your DRAM issue ?
@@janisperkons5390 Unfortunately, I sent the computer back for return. I changed the motherboard to MSI
Does the mobo not come with preinstalled bios out of the box?
It does but due to shipping times and time on the shelf it is likely very outdated
@@mikesunboxing do you know how i Can check What version it is pre installed with? And also, Can i use a 64gb usb stick to Update the bios if i just format the stick to fat32?
How would this work with the board on?
it won't, the board has to be off to start with
@@mikesunboxing i own this exact board and in the bios there’s a Q-Flash option.
