Before I decided to post and ask the question. I looked everywhere for the bios for this MB and i could not find it at all. not even on the gigabyte website. so now all i can do is ask for help with finding the bios for this. as Gigabyte GA-B85M-D2V (rev. 3.0). I don't think is the same and although i did download it. the file wasn't recognized.
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I see an SI at the end of your motherboard, did you find that off of CPU-Z ort is that what's labelled on your motherboard's PCB/sticker? If this is from a prebuilt, can you pass on a link to the prebuilt's site? Google image searches tell me it's the same board, down to the componnet. I would advise on you guying another BIOS chip for the board, desolder the one that comes with your motehrboard and reflash the new BIOS chip witht eh BIOS version found off Gigabyte's support site for the non-SI version.

Speaking of non-SI, where did you buy the board from if it didn't come through a prebuilt?

I bought this second hand. As it was cheap and needed a replacement for MB. As for replacing a bios chip. I wouldn't even know where to start to buy one.
