Question Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 having trouble to update BIOS

[MrFiorezi]

Hello. Recently I got a Gigabyte Motherboard (GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3) and I've been trying to update the F10 BIOS to the U1C UEFI BIOS with no luck. I create a DOS Flash Drive with the files and program, but when I try to update the board, the program opens but it gets stuck on "Flash Detecting" and after a few minutes, it shuts off but doesn't update it. Does someone know why I can't update my board?

It's revision 1.0. I will check those threads to see if someone has a similar problem.
