Go to the gigabyte website. Go to downloads. Go to your motherboard version and then read the instructions on flashing the BIOS. Only do it if you know what your doing (I'm sure you'll be ok).

Yeah you'll probably have to download a BIOS and image a floppy disk to do it. Then you'll probably have to boot from a bootable floppy drive and maybe do some DOS commands. That is, unless they make it mega easy like DFI does!!! :worship:

well you can also use the live update utility and update from windows. i think your mobo may have a dual bios so your'e safe

 

[Dav0s]

yeah i was checking your mobo model to see if there was a chance it could be done in windows.

2m is refering to the size and of the bios. and your mobo doesn't have a dual bios but still if you do everything good you should be safe

 

[limqareb]

so 2m stands for 2 megabytes?

usually Mega Bits for bios size it depends on the manufacturer , it should say on the site

it's suposed to be megabits because iv never sen a bios file larger than 1mb to be written on a bios chip so it's definetly megabits
