Gigabyte motherboard corrupt bios issues

[dannyelam1]

So i have a Gigabyte motherboard that was having issues with the main bios. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-z77-hd3. The computer would boot up into a main bios is corrupt screen but it would load the dual bios and it would work fine. About a month ago it had the same main bios corrupt screen, but this time is went through loading the backup bios but it wouldnt show anything when it tried to restart. I tried using the jumper on the motherboard and replaced the battery on the motherboard. This didnt work and i tried alot for about a week and nothing worked, so i took it into microcenter. The tech who looked at it said that he uninstalled the video card and it booted into the main bios is corrupt screen. Then it loaded the backup just fine and was still working and booting fine. It worked for a few weeks but i just had the same main bios corrupt screen and it itsnt loading up anymore. All of my fans come on and the led's on the case start up but nothing shows up. I tried using the jumpers on the motherboard again and replaced the battery. I tried booting it with the video card taken out also but it still wont show anything. I was wondering if i should bring it back to microcenter or just replace my motherboard.

That board should have a 3 year warranty.
My board seems to be going south also I'm looking at the Asrock extream 4 on Newegg their not a lot of the Z77 boards left to choose from.

Yah i have been looking around for a new one. Would i just have to switchout my motherboard and processor if i went with a z97 board?

Yes and reformat the hard drive but everything should work.
The problem is if you have a good processor ie 3570K 3770K the price of the new processor in not worth it. So were in about the same boat.

Yah i have been looking at the extreme 4 that you mentioned and am probably gonna go with that because everything still runs fine so i see no need to upgrade the processor now.

I just picked up on eBay, a GA-H77M-D3H, a close relative. Initial bringup was fine while I checked out the board hardware. Then I went to move over the SSD from another computer and ended up in the endless start, run for 5 seconds, then reboot. Thought there was a power supply short from a bad capacitor. Searching here pointed me to the corrupt BIOS and using the Dual BIOS feature to recover.

The problem seemed to be the UEFI boot on the SSD I was moving over. If I turned off secure boot and used an old MBR disk to boot, the motherboard started and ran fine. But trying to boot with a UEFI partition that didn't match the BIOS caused the BIOS to corrupt itself.
