Hi All,
I have been assembling a new pc build however, when I power on the motherboard with the jumper in normal position on the motherboard, it wont boot to the windows 10 on my ssd. Then, i try and go to the boot menu but realize that the motherboard is not taking any input from my keyboard or mouse.
I then switch the jumper on the motherboard to bios and upon boot it sends me to the bios. Bizarrely, when in this mode the keyboard works fine and i can do all I want in the bios. I change stuff i think could help, save and exit. Then, rather than booting to windows it prompts me to restore the jumper to the other position and reboot. After doing so, no effect. I repeat this a few times with different bios configs and settings. Nothing at all. I go barebones and take out all but one ram stick. I remove the jumper entirely. I clear the cmos. Still nothing.
However, after a little bit of web surfing I find out that the board takes my motherboard input on normal jumper position for the first few seconds into boot. This allows me to access the boot menu and the bios flash menu (which can only be accessed from normal jumper position). Upon entry into the boot menu, I lose keyboard input again, and hence can't set it to boot to the ssd device that comes up in the menu. However, when I enter the bios flash menu, I am bizarrely able to use keyboard input as if there was nothing wrong, on the normal motherboard jumper position that is.
I then conclude that the bios must be corrupted or requires a refresh in the form of a reflash. However, there is no flash utility in the bios itself. And since the flash menu is the only thing that works (other than the bios) on the normal motherboard jumper position, I give it a shot: My current bios is rev 0099 and I find the latest rev 0120 online. I download the BIO file onto a USB and stick it into the board and enter the bios flash utility. The USB device luckily comes up and I am able to select the BIO file. I commence the flash. It fails and the following err msg comes up for 5s before the thing shuts down:
Flashing motherboard firmware:

Flashing image for Intel(R) Management Engine firmware........ FM Update Sample Application ERROR FuUpdateFullBuffer
[failed!]
Flash Update failed!
Technical Information: (0x8000000000000015, 1632)
I tried a few more times trying different BIO file sources (there aren't many now that intel has removed the official ones), as well as using a different usb stick, leaving the bio file in the download file and playing around with the bios config. Still nothing.
I also tried: Removing the motherboard from the case, trying all and any usb ports and so on.
However, there is a shimmer of hope because someone suggested on a forum that the bios update may not work if you choose a revision which is too far away from your current one, and that an earlier revision like 0113 might work (for which I can't find the BIO file). Either way, flashing a new bios using the F7 method with an bio file and USB seem to be my only hope because I can't use a bootable flash utility, unless i've overlooked some stupid setting.

Regardless, help would be appreciated because I really don't want to have to RMA the board when there seems to be nothing wrong with it physically, especially when i'm literally one tap away from booting into windows.
I recently purchased this Intel Desktop motherboard DH61BE off ebay used. I paired it with an i5 2400 and some ddr3 corsair ram, both of which work fine and come up in the bios.
Help with fixing this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks
