Question GA-Z97-D3H Bios Flashed Issues

[kyle-fitz]

Hi, I updated my Bios with @bios that is provided by Gigabyte for my GA-Z97-D3H motherboard. I restarted after the installation was complete & it immediately went to Gigabyte's "Automatic Repair" screen which takes me recovery screens that were no help. I am not able to the make it to Windows post screen or anything of that nature. Just immediately goes to the Gigabyte Automatic Repair screen after boot. I looked online & followed some guides. 1. I removed the CMOS battery after 2 minutes - put it back in. I selected the "load optimized settings" options & brought me right back to the same screen. 2. I then downloaded the zip file & extracted the Gigabyte zip file onto a thumb drive which is the F9 (most recent flash) and it went through all the steps and then restarted & brought me right back to the same screen. I then reverted back to the F8 verison & no dice again. 3. I then removed the CMOS battery and tried to flash it with the f7(website states that f8 doesn't allow for previous flashing) - I was greeted with that message. I am unsure what to do & I am very frustrated at this point. I am wondering if anyone has an idea what I should do. I currently have a call into Gigabyte support - been waiting 3 hours for a call back - guess I'll hear back from them tomorrow. Just hoping someone here can help.

so it wont even let you post into you bios then? and basically taking you to a recovery screen right?

Thank you for replying btw. Hell of a night dealing with this. Trying to figure this out has been such a pain. But yes, I can get to BIOS while mashing DEL during start up. If I don't msg DEL - it will hit the recovery screen

I just tried to restore from 1/2/2020 and still returned to the AUtomatic Repair screen.

so it sounds like you windows files became corrupt you may need to repair, and or reinstall windows 10 it's windows that seems to have the issues detecting the bios info.
