I’m no expert here with this kind of issue but I’ll give it ago.
No game will ever attempt to update bios unless of course the game is pirated with a virus.
I find it unlikely but not impossible a virus could try to affect the bios. What’s more concerning is something is trying to update your backup bios. Gigabyte use dual bios configuration as a safeguard if updating primary bios goes wrong. It should be pretty difficult to update the backup bios so you might be in luck.
It seems NCIX are aware you might have a virus attempting to infect your bios. It would be a good idea to reinstall windows.
Take out the cmos battery and leave it for a good minute.
Try restoring your windows to a date before you installed the game, either through the cd or booting into windows.
Taking out the watch battery for a few minutes and putting it back in seemed to have given me a temporary fix. Thought I fixed it at the time, turned my PC off last night and awoke to the same message. Tried the watch battery method again, but didn't work. Going to leave it out longer this time in hopes of it working.
Unfortunately I don't have my windows CD, nor do I want to do a clean install of windows. I'll try and avoid that as long as possible. What I'm planning on doing is this:
1. Get my computer to load windows and get into my Account.
2. Sweep my computer for viruses
3. Clean it of viruses
4. Find out my BIOS version
5.Download latest BIOS
6. Copy some of my stuff (game saves, pics,ect.)
7. Restart and hope for the best.
If that doesn't work I'm going to Q-Flash my BOIS, I've read the manual for my mobo and it looks pretty simple. But if I can't get past step 1, I don't know what my motherboard BIOS Version is. On the box on a sticker, it says "New AM3+ CPU BIOS Installed". I looked on the website and that version is F6, and there is a newer one, F7. So, im gonna try F7 and hope for the best.
So far, the Watch battery method has not worked, gonna try one last time then im gonna just Q-flash it.
More suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
EDIT: I found my windows disc, tried to boot from disk but the message still appears. Even if i did try to do a clean install right now the message would probably come back during the process since windows restarts several times when installing the OS.
