Thats the store i ordered from, they had sold out of all of their z77 boards despite what their page says, they were the company that phoned me up offering the bare board as literally the only one they had or were likely to have, they will email me apparently if this changes, good find though :P

Currently trying to flash a bios gigabyte have sent me but despite being able to reflash the f10 via each method ive tried their eufi bios keeps getting rejected, fingers crossed though.

Yes the one only that they have a lot of is the GA-Z77X-UD3H and none of the GA-Z77X-UD5H.

All gone from bad to worse my side, Id re flashed the f10 bios as suggested, np done many times... theyve provided me with a new bios to install but hadnt supplied the all the info required, in the period where i was waiting for a reply all of my usb ports started at first it seemed not being able to read usb sticks, id formatted them on my spare computer but once they get inserted into my "main" comp the flash no longer seems readable on any of my comps, 4 usb stick that no longer work later and windows wants to fix drive errors which is fine, I though "Ive turned caching on and off recently when flashing the bios and only use the safe method, ill be fine", now my motherboard cant communicate with my boot device.....
constant restart loop, so sad pcupgrade didnt stock the z77 board I was after.
As a gigabyte customer of many years who builds probably 10+ systems with their boards a year I know this is all a bunch of random bad luck and their support despite being slow to initially reply are being helpful but I rekon with a 5 year old board im about to stretch the limit of their capacity to help.
Ive run out of usb drives for now if i could even flash my bios, if I could get any of my usb ports to read flash, if I could get my motherboard to accept I have hard drives. Weird that all the usb devices that arnt storage were working fine, yknow, till i couldnt get into windows......

Im gonna strip the comp down and attempt to trouble shoot with just the boot drive and bare essentials peripheral wise and see if I can get into a better place than i am now.

Its like a perfect storm of computing all the while knowing your lifeboat is two years out of its warranty and your life insurance hasnt been paid.

Should this thread be moved from "cant overclock" to "cant turn on"?
Making a real effort to stay sunny side up at the moment.

Can you get into the bios and make sure the USB ports are enabled?  Plus make sure your drive is set AHCI if is how you had it. I'm just throwing thing out there to see if it will help. Plus here is a link that might help.

Just a heads up, after a long night I managed to make my usb drives work again, a combination of fixes that involved a lot of google fu, I think it was an issue with my comp treating the usb drives like permanent hard drives for whatever reason, ive booted from free dos and tried to flash the bios with flashspi.exe but nothing seemed to happen, no prompt to turn off my computer or nothing, when i restarted I loaded optimised safe defaults but im still in the f10 bios awaiting further replies from gigabyte all the while trying to find a reputable seller of second hand boards with more than a 30 days warranty....
I even asked gigabyte support if they had a board laying around.
If there is a forum here about bios flashing I should probably make a post there but as is, still locked at 39 multi and still on f10 but I do have a working computer again which is a deffo plus.
Thanks for your suggestions btw.

BIOS Updating thread on the Forum can be found in the FAQ Section here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=2441.0
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Just for the sake of updates, worked out how to do the bios flash through freedos, which was great, unfortunately after verifying the data and asking me to turn off my system and unplug it it will no longer boot, or post or anything really, just turn off then on and so on.
Thanks for the help but i think not being to overclock has just become the least of my concerns.
