Gigabyte B75M-D3H corrupted BIOS boot/post loop fix
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- So I updated the BIOS on my media center PC which has a Gigabyte B75M-D3H Dual BIOS motherboard and when the PC restarted it went into a boot loop where when I would turn on the PC it would start with no video then restart still no video then the 3rd time it would show BIOS splash screen then followed by a blue screen.
I tried everything from removing CMOS battery to swapping out the RAM and the CPU after that I realized that its the BIOS.
Unfortunately the motherboard would not post from 2nd BIOS no matter what I did so ultimately after giving up I had a crazy idea of shorting out the pins of BIOS 1 so that motherboard would be forced to use BIOS 2 and yes it did work!
I don't really recommend trying such things yourself if your board is under warranty you should get a RMA done.
If it was not clear to someone, I saw in another video that pin 4 should be bridged with pin 7 of the main bios with the board on, until a recovery message appears. Thanks a lot!
Thanks so much! It seriously works. You short pins 1 and 6 together on the BIOS labeled M_BIOS (which is the main BIOS) while the computer is off and have a friend turn your computer on while you're doing it. When it beeps, stop shorting the pins and watch while it recovers.
Fuck me dude that worked!!! Must leave it for a while though.
Thank you so much, my computer had same issue, after short circuit bios, reboot and working good now, bois both still work
It does work, i thought my life was over!!!
what do you mean by pin 1 and 6
@@roqheszn8836 did you figured it out?
Worked for me! My computer was completely stuck in a no-post loop. Thought either my mobo or cpu had died, but this fixed it. Thanks for uploading this.
It worked. Short the Pins 1 & 6 near d white arrow - that is the clue... then push power button. Press Enter 2x... fixed... thanks for the tip!
Im trying to do this and still no fix i short first 2pins near the arrow on bios M no fix can u contact me?
Tried what u say also ,no fix ,still restarting , it sometimes show gigabyte menu but nothing i press works , its showing bios blue screen but its empty then restart again...
Wow I gotta say my guy this actually fixed my problems. I was getting so hella desperate to fix my rig cuz im actually about to move and I DID NOT need something like this happening. Thanks so much for your vid and slow pace explaination !!
Thanks for this! I have been trying to fix my aunt's computer with this board (I offered to build a new one, but no she wants old and busted back) and had tried literally everything else in the board manual. Figured I didn't have anything to lose by following your suggestion of shorting the main BIOS and boom, it's switched to the backup and booting properly.
Glad to hear that!! and happy to see that such an old video is still relevant 😊
Firstly thank you Charlie, i had the same issue with my Gigabyte z77-D3H and nothing could fix it until i stumbled across your video. your trick fixed my 3 year old motherboard. Thanks for sharing Charlie
Thank you, bro, it was just a random thought since the board was dead anyway, so why not short out the pin on Bios 1 and see if it picks up the second Bios, (from looking at manual I already knew BIOS 1 was corrupt) I was pretty surprised it actually worked. I'm guessing it is a common problem on most Gigabyte boards since yours is a Z77 and mine is B75M.
I have the same MOBO that was in a boot loop and tried this, but now its even worse. The boot loop now is shorter and whenever I try to power it on it shuts off in less than a second
I just fixed my z68-ma-d2h-b3 using your method and look at that. Big props to you finding this fix!
Thank you so much bro! Worked after a few attemts, pin 1+6 was the key. You saved my weekend :)
Seen in other videos telling you to short the pins but none with the detail (LOOK FOR THE ARROW) good stuff thanks
I found easier steps for anyone having corrupted bios on GA-B75M-D3H motherboard, make sure the computer is turned off and then press the power button and reset button at the same time for 10 seconds and the back up bios should kick in reinstalling main bios.
for some reason after I installed update from windows 10 which is 1803 update as far as I can remember, it gave me a blue screen and then corrupted the bios.
Jhay12 You saved me! Thanks man
Thank you for your tip.
Jhay12 this didn’t work please help
It realy works! thanks, i was losing my mind over this hahaha
It kinda helped me but some times i have to do it again... And it happened some week after the October update (got it after all the bad things it came with on october)
Took a couple of attempts but worked a dream. I really thought this board was bricked but now working as it should. Thank you so much for posting.
Thank you so much! I never thought so many people would experience this exact problem with a Gigabyte motherboard! Glad that my video was helpful.
It's 2023 and you are still saving lives man. Pin 1 and 6 took a few tries and it worked. I'm writing this as my backup is writing back my main bios.
And this happened to me because I updated my bios from f14 to f15. Do not do it.
I made this video AGES ago!! Glad to see its still helping everyone out! And yeah, after this I have stopped updating BIOS on every PC, its too risky!
@@TechGuyCharlie Great to see you stil replying here man. Just finished setting up everything. i now realise that board already had issues. Post took a long time to appear on screen. And it hangs there sometimes. It wasn't reliable. Also I had to do the hard reset 3 times because somehow my windows got corrupted and trying to boot that copy also got my bios bricked two times. I had to catch that first fresh bios boot and force boot into bootable USB. Fresh windows fixed everything. It's so weird. And now it's blistering fast. Someone will meed this information someday. Again thanks man.
You are a lifesaver. My Board had the same exact issue and believe it or not your fix actually worked. I can't thank you enough.
After the third try, I finally got this to work on my H87M-D3H mobo that suddenly went into a boot loop for some unknown reason. Appears to have fixed the problem. Thanks.
I know you warned us not to try this, but my main PC's board was dead for over a week now, the same malfunction you had, so i decided to try what you've done, and it worked, i'm writing this comment on the same PC that was dead few minutes ago...
Thank you very much, i really wish i could give your video few more likes 💖💖
Guys i tried everything from resetting cmos, taking the cmos battery out, taking ram out, disconnecting HD's and sata cables and NOTHING worked. Until i came across something that worked for me and got the bios working again.
Turn off power supply. Hold down the on button. Turn on power supply then after 2-3 seconds of the computer being on, turn off the power supply again. Then release the on button.
Then turn the power supply back on. Now press the on button. This will reset your bios and it will overwrite the corrupt bios with the backup bios. You will see a loading screen as it overwrites the corrupt bios.
This is what worked for me. Everything else failed.
Aaron Marsh thanks brother its worked... but does my mobo now running on only one bios?? I mean is the the bios dead?
@@StrugglingBeliever No dual bios's are just the normal bios with a back up bios that is always there and uncorruptable. Meaning when the bios you use gets corrupt it backs itself up with the good bios...
This worked for my friend.
Bro do you have any idea why bios is not updating? It’s failing every time? Shows blue screen
Thanks man, you saved me!
Dude youre a legend. Thx for helping me fix my motherboard
Wow you are a genius!
I use the same motherboard and ran into this situation yesterday, and lucky enough to see your video right away, and it actually works :). thx man, now I gotta backup all the important stuff.
Much safer to power down then hold the power and reset buttons for 10 seconds. The Mobo then goes into recovery mode.
With power down not worked, but when power on, and hold both buttons 12 seconds, then work fine :). Many thanks :).
Awesome! You saved me from a lot of hassle. Because this chipset is old I would need to get a new motherboard as well as new ram and a new CPU.
Thanks so much! Nothing I did worked, except your solution.
That sounds awesome!! Glad the video was helpful. 😊
Worked for me, thanks a ton man! I just randomly shorted pins till the repair screen showed up lol, should of read comments xD
well it's worked for you, that's good , but next time you need to know that gigabyte has a safer way to do that , you need to click on power botton to turn it on and than you click again but this time keep holding the botton for 10 seconds and than release it , and turn it on by clicking again power botton without holding it, and it's start automatically the bios recover :) peace
I tried that when the board was inside a case.. It didn't work.☹️ By the way, this board is working great, it's been on almost 24x7 after this bios fix.
so that's geat, at least it's working now :)
I did that but it doesn't repair the first one so I am stuck with the second bios
Thanks, it's worked for me :)
Thanks. This worked for me too.
you got a very control on your hand mate, pointing ics with bare screw driving on electric powered motherboard.
I wouldn't have believed it myself if it didn't work but yep, I jammed a paper clip into my M Bios' 1st pin and it broke the loop and my PC is working beautifully again. Thank you Charlie.
I managed to fix and old board of mine after doing this for a while. Thanks for this, nice work!
Great to hear! 😊
I tried this myself and it wouldn’t work at first. But after several attempts at shorting the bios chip it really actually worked. I am amazed. Thanks so much. Update: Not working after rebuilding pc.
Thanks a lot! After a few trials - restarts, power on, power offs, your workflow finally was successfull.
Please try this first when your system stucks in boot-loop:
Since its dualbios system you can force to kick the backup into place. You can restore the backup bios by flipping the power supply switch in the back to off position. Hold the power button at the front, and while holding flip power supply to on position.
As the pc turns on, -in one-two seconds, flip the power supply to off again. Then turn on the power supply and the pc.
Bios will load overwrite the current bios, with the backup, and after that, you will not have a boot loop.
Thanks Smooth Collie. This method has worked perfectly for me! I believe it's not only easier, but also safer than shorting random pins on a chip.
@@zappelbecker Thank you! Shorting the PINs didn't worked for me, but your method worked.
THANK YOU, TRULY YOU SAVED, I WAS THINKING ABOUT TO THROW MY PLATE TO THE GARBAGE BUT THANKS TO YOUR VIDEO SAVE ME A GOOD MONEY
This also works on my Gigabyte Z270mx Gaming 5, thanks for saving tons of time!
Glad it worked! I'm surprised that so many gigabyte boards are having this boot loop problem :/
@@TechGuyCharlie I noticed that it happens repeatedly every few months, especially when I power it off during weekend.
I have very similar issues with my Z77X-UD5H. It seems to be mostly related to cold boots.
I've seen a post from someone claiming that it's a known issue with Gigabyte's implementation of dual BIOS on boards prior to the 87 series, apparently especially so prior to the 77 series but also on the 77 series, and that Gigabyte had supposedly mostly fixed the issue with the 87 series onwards. It's the best explanation I've found to date for these issues, although I personally suspect that there may also be a partial contribution from failing main BIOS chips and/or changes introduced in later board BIOS updates.
Thank you very much for this. Finally it worked, but I had to try it 6 times... Anyway, it´s working now. Thanks!!
It's one of those fixes you cant quite believe until you see it W O R K S ! ! !
Hi mr Tech guy charlie... when you short the backup bios,the pc is:
a.turn off (with eletric plug in)
b. turn off (with electric plug off)
c..turn on
which option that you do at that time?
I had tried everything else but failed. I have now tried this method but still not worked.
Worked like a charm, my friend. Thanks a lot.
Thanks, had this problem today, shorting pins 1 and 2 fixed it.
Holy shit, it worked, I read somewhere about updates to the bios killing the mobo... so you destroy the main and have it back it self up... that is Stupidly genious... thank you
Thank you, just a random idea popped into my head about shorting out the pins, since I had run out of options and the mobo was out of warranty. By the way, this method does not destroy the main BIOS, it just forces the mobo to restore the main BIOS from the 2nd BIOS. Not sure why it wasn't automatically detecting that the main BIOS is corrupt after the update, maybe a bug.
I learned my lesson though :D Never ever update the BIOS!!
I can confirm that shorting the pin 1 and 6 at the same time on the M_bios works on a Gigabyte GA- Z97X-SLI
pin 1 is where the arrow is but where is pin 6???
@@avramovixc Pin 1 is whatever the arrow is, then it's clockwise or counterclockwise considering that the one next to it is 2. Basically, the one next to 1 is 2, then 3, then 4. Across from 4 is 5, next to 5 is 6, then 7, then 8, which should be across from 1 if you labeled it right.
Wow! Lifesaver. At first I tried shorting the m-bios on 1 and 6, but nothing happened. Then I tried 1 and 2, but still nothing. So then I just got pissed and started wiping a zip tie along all the pins and sure enough, there is the secondary bios recovering stuff. Phew.....
😂😂😂
Thank you so much! Pin one and 2 worked for me, then had to put new bios on again! Thanks again! =D
Glad it helped! 😊
Man, i dont know what happen in your mind to do this, but i tried it and work!!!! I love you
What pins did you short to be exact, I'm having difficulty with a gigabyte board that is also dual bios?
The classical answer is to short pins 1 & 6. Determining pin positioning can be a bit tricky though.
God bless you! I have tried all of the methods of resetting BIOS described in the manual of my H81, removing CMOS battery, shorting the designated CMOS-reset pins, holding and/or pressing both reset and power button, all without and with power, with no result!
My bootloop / corrupted BIOS issue was initialized when I tried to test an old Radeon 5770 (Juniper) on my system, it started doing the post-beeps (which it never did before!) and boot looping exactly in that Gigabyte-patter. This is actually a VERY widespread issue with Gigabyte boards!!
Practically what fixed it after trying just about every hardware configuration and reseating etc. and attempting to reset CMOS was just fiddling around on the PINs of the BIOS_M (main?) module, instead of holding it calmly, it did the same thing detect that obviously something was wrong there and it let me press Enter to reflash, and from then on it was back to normal.
I did come across the idea of shorting the BIOS circuits as well, because after bricking my Gigabyte Mobo with it, I put it into another PC and I flashed a wrong BIOS to my 5770 Juniper AMD GPU (in order to fix horizontal lines I saw in all driver versions, instability etc.) and I had to bridge that from being read on the GPU by shorting 2 pins on a BIOS saving circuit just like that on the motherboard, in order to be able to actually start the system with the card installed at all, and then I had to use 2 graphics cards, (so because of that I used a third motherboard X-I) 1 for display and the Juniper for flashing, and the short had to be removed right before flashing. It was even more crazy than the BIOS reset. But I got some other BIOS installed and ended up confirming it was not fixable by BIOS.
Now retesting this disgusting semi-brick of a bugfest Radeon 5770 GPU on my newly uncorrupted BIOS with different hardware, see if I can get it running bug free on here (but I don't think so, this is maybe an overheated GPU, corrupted memory or something along those lines)
So just so you guys know, a bad GPU can actually cause your Motherboards BIOS to get corrupted just like that!
The things we have to bother with...
This worked for me. Kudos to you sir!
Thanks a lot, only your method worked for me, you fixed it.
Hello, why is the bios corrupted like this every time my gigabyte b75m d3v computer is started? What do you think is the reason?
Thank you so much man had this exact same issue and it worked, had to do it a few times though you're a life saver!
Thank you for watching, glad I could help you out :) I'm a little surprised that so many people are having this issue with Gigabyte boards.
My gigabyte z97x 7 doesn't post anything in either bios, it just says no signal, any help?
Man It really worked for me too...thaks man
Thanks, I've heard that holding down On button and Reset button down together for 10 seconds would do the same ?
i am in year 2022. Thank you very much You saved my computer. PIN 1 + 6 . NOTE: if you don´t know which are the pin numbers search for the BIOS integrated circuit model "mxic mx25l6406e"
hi sir, can you show the fully video how you exactly do? i got a motherboard gigabyte z77m-d3h but still nothing come out
Ha! what the! I dont know where did you get this idea but it work! wow! thanks
I have the same problem and do not understand what you said "shorted out the pins" I am a IT but have the same issue, somebody can explain me?
Witch pins did you short circuit on M-BIOS chip??
1 and 6
just wandering what "bios version did corrupt your current so we know what bios version should not get
Man, I had a similar problem, and it worked. Thanx a lot!
Thank you sir.
You rock!
Worked like a charm on a AM3 + 990fxa-ud3
Which is the best processed for this MB
my processor is dead now??
i tried. it was updating and it restarted again then i never saw the dual bios again now it just restart all the time pls help
holy crap it worked lol..thnk you charlie ..wow i was at the point of giving up and throwing motherboard away..did exactly wot u said and it worked haha..thnx alot for advice dude...😂
Thank God for you and youtube and the commenters :D pins 1 and 6 worked for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Wow, I made this video years ago! Glad to see this method works, and this same motherboard is still working in 2022. I use this PC as my storage server!
Which pins are these? I can't seem to get mine to recover at all. Just keeps restarting after a few seconds when trying to short or about 10 seconds if I am not shorting anything.
@@a.aspden you can short them with power connected but not turned on. look for the dot on the corner of the chip, that is pin 1, pin 6 will be the adjacent one. Search 'pin out' to get a picture.
@@stephenhartley77 I feel ike I tried everything but will try again when I get home. What do you mean by searching for pin out? Search google? Not finding a diagram. Thanks for the help
@@a.aspden yes, Google - Pinout Bios Chip :D Use a steel paper clip to short the pins
Im able to get to the step where ive shorted the M_BIOS and its stopped rebooting. It stays on but i dont get any screen signal. What is the problem?
You saved my client pc! Thanks!
WHICH PINS DID YOU BRIDGE ?
Hi! hild on i do have that mobo but im very confused here?! so..i have to make the thing with the screwdriver with which pins?
You're the man !!! I almost gave up on the damned board . It worked like a charm !
Thank you :D Happy I could help!
Hi , how are you ? What's happening ?
I did this with mine :"You short pins 1 and 6 together on the BIOS labeled M_BIOS (which is the main BIOS) while the computer is off and have a friend turn your computer on while you're doing it. When it beeps, stop shorting the pins and watch while it recovers", BUT it's the same thing that says down here.If it is shutting down on it's own and with a blue screen , i'm dared to say it is something else, not the BIOS. Anyways, In case it keeps looping , try shutting it down, pull out the power cable, push the power button for about 10 seconds, replug the power cable and cycle it back .Is it BEEPING ??
Good Luck !!!
OK.Use either a pair of tweezers, pliers (the thin ones), or two flat screwdrivers, whatever is more precise due to the separation between the pins
By SHORT THE PINS , i mean touch both pins at the same time
How to short pins? Plss plss reply really imp
Pls someone reply
My god, thanks brother I was crazy with this damn problem with a key worked everything was worth it
VERY BIG THANK YOU ! IT WORKS !!! AMAZING !
didnt work for me... it keeps looping no matter what
wow!!! it's working very good tutorial..
Hi My friend, Do You know if this Motherboard allows working with 2tb ssd m.2 nvme via Pcie? Thank You very much in advance!
WOW...LMAO...That is some funny Sh#@! It worked perfectly - PERMANENTLY FIXED - Thank YOU. (see instruction at END) Orange Tech Inc. - 3 Full Days I've troubleshoot this motherboard BIOS reset issue. Exhausted every possible scenario including replacing the i5 CPU with i3 CPU and nothing worked until NOW. GA-P75-D3 Motherboard. I updated to F11 latest BIOS but still after booting to the desktop it would reset the BIOS when I hard powered off the computer. I would constantly have to do the dual bios recovery by holding down the power button when the computer immediately powered on 3 times until it came up with the recovering BIOS screen. It would work again with the F9 BIOS until I would shut down the computer and then it would reset the BIOS and loop again and again. It did not matter what BIOS update I did or even if I left the original BIOS F9 alone it always reset the BIOS and looped when the computer was shut down. I was ready to throw this motherboard out the window until I saw this GENIUS video. I then shorted out the BIOS_M (First) and OMG it booted up without looping. I tried to shut it down and reboot it and no matter what I tried it would NEVER reset the BIOS and boot loop again...LOL. I even removed the CMOS battery and cleared the BIOS by connecting the jumpers trying to get it to boot loop and reset the BIOS but it just kept booting up fine. This fix works awesome! It permanently kept the BIOS from resting and looping. To short out the M_BIOS I just took a screw driver and touched the 1 Pin & 2 Pin together while the computer started powering up. Once the computer shutdown, I removed the screw driver. I powered on the computer and it never reset the BIOS or boot looped every again. I believe the 1 Pin is the one that a white arrow is pointing to and the 2 Pin is the pin right next to it. The 1 Pin is at the very end of the BIOS chip. Thanks again for this permanent fix. (On a special Note - Being a computer technician since 1997 for around 20 years this issue was a technicians worst nightmare because the motherboard would work after the bios recovery for as long as you could keep it powered up. You could even flash the bios and update it to the latest and soft reboot as many times as you want. This is why us technicians did not want to just give up because we could at least get it running to some degree. But of course as soon as it was hard powered off the stupid bios would have to be recovered again because it would just loop and loop. Special thanks to this Charlie guy who never gave up until he tried one last thing "outside the box" so to speak and boom...found a work around fix. This is what separates the good technicians from the great ones. Nicely done Charlie! Nicely done!)
Works for me! You save me. Thanks a lot!
Which pins to short and which bios main or backup?
Typically pins 1 & 6, and on the MAIN bios, not the backup bios!! Don't ever short the backup bios, you run the risk of damaging it and therefore bricking the board permanently (assuming that the main bios is corrupted).
This will help my PC shutdown properly? It's problem is when I shutdown the PC,the 4 case fans and LEDs remain on,so will this help this issue? And all the components needs to be removed,not only unplug from the power supply?
Thank you so much dear...it really works for me too.......
My board never beeps when shorting and doesn't start a secondary bios boot. Anyone else have this problem?
You really need more than 2GB of ram for windows 10, even 4GB would struggle and would be using the page file all the time and making the system very slow.
Turn on the computer by pressing and holding the power button. After a while it will turn itself off.
Unpress the power button.
Press the power button.
Thanks for ur video ! My b85m-ds3h has bios loop and end up shorting m-bios pin 1 and pin 5 while the computer is on, it pop up the message about corrupted bios and do exactly like ur video !
Glad to see this method is still working, been a while since I made this video.
I tried this and it failed. Now the AORUS screen doesn't even appear the motherboard just constantly reboots. The Z370 is a total loss now.
Wait a minute, this is only for the B75M-D3H board from Gigabyte, it says right in the video title. Is your board under warranty?
Oi, eu tenho um gigabyte sem dual bios, como posso resolvê-lo?
You are my Hero !
What pins exactly did you short on the main bios?
So, which pins are the ones?
After i get the screen for bios is corrupted it just restarts again
Please help i did like you and the pc doesn't work. It goes on and off
Pls help me. I updated Bios and now my Pc wont turn on display and no usb and other ports, i tried jumping the bios but no avail. Pls help me
I have the same problem .. but it doesn't gets fixed by this method.
BROOO THANK YOU SO MUCH IT WORKED FOR ME TOO
Im trying to fix this but i cant , can some1 contact me?
It worked! Thank you!
Which pins from the M_Bios you shorted in order to resolve the issue. All the 4 pins on front, onthe back or a combination of both sides?
This worked for me - When the computer powers on touch the 1 Pin & 2 pin on the BIOS_M chip . There should be a white arrow next to the first Pin 1 on the BIOS called M_BIOS or BIOS_M. The 1 Pin or Pin 1 will be at the edge of the BIOS chip. Take a screw driver and touch the Pin 1 and Pin 2 while the computer is powering on and wait until the computer shuts off before removing the screw driver. That should do the trick. It permanently fixed mine from ever resetting the BIOS and looping again.
Did you manually power it off or did you wait for it to loop again?
Didn't work at all for me BUT as a last ditch effort I desoldered the BIOS chips, stuck B into the A slot, and it booted right up. I'm going to put A in the B slot and then reflash it. I have no idea why this dual bios system doesn't work switching to B properly. B was fully functional and yet the motherboard ignored it. Anyway, if it helps anyone - you can get a hot air soldering station on ebay for 40 bucks. Takes 10 seconds to remove them. Let it cool for 10 minutes before resoldering them. Oh- and they're rotated 180 degrees. Make sure to match pin 1 to the arrow!
which pins to short ?
Can this method also work for msi dual bios?
same problem in my case in 27-11-2019
