Update Gigabyte Bios With Qflash

Update Gigabyte BIOS With Qflash


The Basic Input/Output System is a set of instructions stored in a chip on a computer's motherboard. These instructions dictate how the motherboard should operate the hardware that is physically connected to it. Such instructions are not without fault, however, despite their critical nature. In such cases, the manufacturer (in this case Gigabyte) will release an updated version of the motherboard's BIOS to rectify any problems they have identified. In addition to fixing problems, BIOS updates can also expand a motherboard's ability to operate various hardware as it's released.


Instructions


1. Power on or restart your computer.


2. Press the "End" key on your keyboard to start "Q-Flash".


3. Select "Update BIOS from Drive" using the arrow keys and press "Enter".


4. Select the drive that contains the updated BIOS file and press "Enter"; you can use a floppy disk, a USB drive or your hard drive to store the file. If you haven't downloaded an updated BIOS yet, go to Gigabyte's technical support page (see Resources). Type in your motherboard's model number into the "Downloads" field and press "Enter". You should see your motherboard listed. Click "BIOS" and select the latest version to download; it's typically the topmost version listed.


5. Select the file and press "Enter".


6. Press "Enter" when the system prompts you with "Are you sure to update BIOS?" to start the update process.


7. Press any key to return to the main menu once the process is complete. Press the "Esc" key and then "Enter" to exit the "Q-Flash" utility and reboot the system.
