Question gigabyte a320m-s2h bios update

[theyikes]

Hello. I have a question about updating my gigabyte a320m-s2h . Do i need to update incrementally as in from f2 to f10 to f24? I've tried using q-flash but it i keep getting bios id error. I've tried signing up for a Gigabyte account on their forum but it wont; accept me.

I've tried downloading the bios file from the gigabyte site and renaming it to GIGABYTE.bin but that didn't work.

I would really appreciate any help at all

Regards:

Make sure you are downloading the proper bios, for the revision of board you have. That might be what's causing the id error you are experiencing. It should be printed somewhere on your board, which revision you have. Choose that revision, on gigabyte's webpage for your board, then download bios.

You have to look on the motherboard, to get the correct revision number. You will not find it via software. I believe yours is printed on the bottom left corner area of the board.
