Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming-Wifi Bios issue

[ratburger08]

Hello,

I have the motherboard mentioned above, and can tell by all the system info screens that it's on bios F3. I've been trying to update to the bios F5 or F6a using @bios, Qflash, and running the .exe file directly. All have been unsuccessful. The bios downloaded from gigabyte is around 6.3mb, and includes an autoexec file, an .exe, and, i'm assuming, the bios with the file extension .f6a and .f5 respectively.

Now that I've tried all methods of updating the bios, what am I missing? or is my bios fudged?

What error do you get in QFlash when trying to flash BIOS file AB350NGW.F6a?
