[SOLVED] BIOS ID Check Error

[Bill3627]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to update my BIOS version from F15B to the stable release F15. I have this board here:

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145036

and am downloading this BIOS version from here:

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370-AORUS-Gaming-7-rev-10/support#support-dl-bios

Specifically the F15 version. When I try to update the BIOS via QFlash, which is what Gigabyte recommends in the manual, I get a BIOS ID Check Error and I am unsure why.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Are you sure you have the right motherboard? You should be seeing that error only when you use the wrong BIOS version for your motherboard(meaning the BIOS is meant for another board). Can you double check your board's make and model using CPU-Z?

Yes, I am positive but here is the screenshot from CPU Z

This can be closed. I figured out the issue on my own. For some reason when I had the BIOS update file inside of a folder I would get BIOS ID Check Error. Once I took that file out of a folder and left it on its own (on the flash drive) it worked.
