Been building PCs for decades, but never had to use the bios button before. Your guide really helped, thank you. I have the same board with a 7800X3D if anyone else is struggling. I had the DRAM light on, and once the bios updated it booted straight up. You need to wait 5-10 mins for it to work
@@jonathanrivera-jw6qh Is mobo considered doa if the lights and everything works? Like now im trying everything just to boot up to bios or get atleast some form of message from the components
Thanks for the video! Very informative and concise. Most of the other Gigabyte BIOS flash videos seem to be for a different model of motherboard, but this one showed exactly how to do it and what to expect.
Thank you! The way you explained it everyone should be able to follow along. Only thing you could have mentioned more, I think, is to say whether or not you need to hold down the Q flash button when you press it.
Thankyou for going so in depth with this. I didnt need to know most of it but the important bits I could get to and see step by step. Others may be helped in the same way with different points.
Dave, thanks for the video. Sensational content. Concise and straight to the point and you show how to do it step by step, which is great. Hope you're doing great. Cheers from Brazil.
I followed your instructions to a t, or at least I thought. I'm not sure where I went wrong or how I even could in the first place with how well you explain everything. Still left on version F2 despite updating. I guess I'll try again, your video is far better than Aorus's own guide but neither can account for my own incompetence I suppose.
I have this motherboard and I updated to the latest bios yesterday and the system won't boot to Windows at all... The boot red light is always on.. after pass the Aorus logo.. its shows black screen with a little white stripe on the top of the left corner..
@@YomomsAHoerse Yes by reinstalled the windows... That's resolved the solution...I don't now how.. but it's seems the bios didn't recognize the boot system after updating.. is annoying..but yeah now it's working again..
Thanks for the video. You've made several good ones and deserve more views. I have a question about bios flash back. If you update the bios, and the power goes out and you brick your motherboard, can flashback be used to fix your motherboard so that it will boot?
What did you have to do when you cut the camera while you were pressing the button. I'm asking because my mobo won't begin the process when I'm holding the button
Thank you! I did try to Q-flash today, didn't help. Then, as you advised, i unplugged everythin (CPU\GPU\RAM\Storage) and it did work! Thank you very much!! ✍(◔◡◔)
I see that you went from ASUS ROG Strix 650 to GIGABYTE Aorus Elite AX. I did the same. The reason: crashes and system instability with ASUS when EXPO enabled. What was your reason?
i have a friend he built he's pc same mb and keeps getting dram red light .i told him to flash he's bios and he's saying q flash is not working its he's 1st build .im worried he's done damage . he did have a no boot because he's saying he put to much CPU paste he cleaned it up and started booting but then dram came up .i have no clue what's he's done
Thank you for the video! I have the exact board! A little scared because I have a 7800X3D. Do I need to start from version F4 to F5 and finally F6a? Or can I just download the F6a and flash it right away
@@jmdaccess did everything go smoothly? because i have the exact MB and 7800x3D and I'm wondering if everything went well so i can do the same thing :D
Look at your motherboard manual, see the two pins that the power switch connects to. Those are the two pins that you need to short with a screwdriver. Every motherboard is (probably) different, but you should find that information in the manual.

Man after reading your comment I felt hopeful. I have the exact build as yours and experience the same issue. I didn’t have any luck with this.
@jonathanrivera-jw6qh Try re-seating ram, GPU and even CPU
Same setup here, also the DRAM light on. But as soon as I push the Q-Flash button my PSU immediately shuts off... is it part of the prep or?
My issue ended up being the motherboard coming in doa.

He did mention to hold the Q-Flash button until the I/O panel light blinks.
For me, I only had to click it once. I had to find a paperclip to press the button.

good man, good explanation. Nowdays a lot of youtube videos eating time with useless talking
You Sir are my hero. Very straightforward and informative video. Did help me a lot. Greetings from Germany.
Great how to video and you explain everything clearly step by step…Thanks!!
Hello from Lewis County, Dave. I enjoy your videos. Hope you're doing well
Dave! This video helped so much. Are you still around? Hopefully, you're doing fine, man. I appreciate you!

Yes, It should fix the motherboard. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Hi dave thank you very much, you helped me a lot.
THANK YOU THANK YOU, FR it worked without an issue
Please let us know, which are the pins to cross to get the motherboard powered. Great vids mister!! . RST_SW may be?
Congratulations on almost 10,000 views on this video
Dave we need you back brother!
After the light ended flashing did you just turn off the power supply?
@Davws Techway Awesome video, thank you very much sir. BTW is that a Cooler Master HAF-XB behind you?
What did you have to do when you cut the camera while you were pressing the button. I'm asking because my mobo won't begin the process when I'm holding the button
Great walk through. Helped a lot! 👍🏿
Thank you and your welcome. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Hi,
Hope you are alright, pls give us an update
Thanks Dave. You're the best
Thank you very much! This slow ass boot is killing me!
Your welcome. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Thank you!
I did try to Q-flash today, didn't help.
Then, as you advised, i unplugged everythin (CPU\GPU\RAM\Storage) and it did work!

We miss You Dave
What happened to Dave
Спасибо большое объяснили помогло 👍👍👍
Very helpful, thank you.
Thank you very much!
Your welcome. Thanks for watching and the comment.
No new vids in over a year. You doing alright man?
Do you know if I can do this Q flash with the CPU and RAM installed?? Recent build, however as of 2024, w/ 7800x3d ,old bios will not boot. Thanks
I see that you went from ASUS ROG Strix 650 to GIGABYTE Aorus Elite AX. I did the same. The reason: crashes and system instability with ASUS when EXPO enabled. What was your reason?
one question is do i have to disconnect everything? or just the power supply?
Hello!! the manual says we can't clear the Bios while the power supply is on, and you did it, someone who can answer me please
is exFAT (Default) the same as FAT32? thats all i get is exFATand NTFS
How are you dave? Its been 6 months and you're no longer uploading man. I hope your doing good!
Hallo i have disable soc uncore oc mode and save it but it still enable
What can i do to turn it off
?????
i have a friend he built he's pc same mb and keeps getting dram red light .i told him to flash he's bios and he's saying q flash is not working its he's 1st build .im worried he's done damage . he did have a no boot because he's saying he put to much CPU paste he cleaned it up and started booting but then dram came up .i have no clue what's he's done

Do I need to start from version F4 to F5 and finally F6a? Or can I just download the F6a and flash it right away
I'm gonna try skipping since the BIOS page never mentioned flashing the previous version. Just like you mentioned
@@jmdaccess did everything go smoothly? because i have the exact MB and 7800x3D and I'm wondering if everything went well so i can do the same thing :D
@@dior4558 it did! Been running well. Skipped everything and used F6a. No problems so far
@@jmdaccess glad to hear that! i saw that F7a is now active, so I'll probably go with that one :)
That's not how updates work. F6a would contain all of the fixes from earlier updates. You can always "skip" to the latest one.
When i renamed the file it changed the icon to the notpad one is that still ok?
How do I know which rev I have 😢
How did you turn on the motherboard with the pins? I don't know what pins I have to cross or how to cross them to get the motherboard to switch on
This was glossed over a bit. A lot of people wouldn't know how to do this.
Look at your motherboard manual, see the two pins that the power switch connects to. Those are the two pins that you need to short with a screwdriver. Every motherboard is (probably) different, but you should find that information in the manual.
Спасибо. Поднял мамку. Не обязательно из мат платы ва отключать.
How long does it take to update bios
you sire are a fking legend... thank you
a better camera would be awesome
Thank you and your welcome. Thanks for watching and the comment.
My q flash button does not blink
What happened with him? He never post videos again😔
Могу ли я делать это если я уже собрал пк полностью?
yes. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Good guide but .. why are consumers even having to do this? Seems like bad design to me.
So, we have learned how to update a bios and who is looking to buy a Yamaha 😂
What Yamaha you have to buy? Thanks for watching and the comment.
@@DavesTechway Suzuki man I'm afraid. I know, I know. I'll show myself out.
Hello, would you like to share my software? Thanks
