Problem updating GV-N670OC-2GD BIOS
« on: December 02, 2013, 09:52:56 am »
Hi.

I have a GV-N670OC-2GD with F10 BIOS. I seem to be suffering some of the stability issues others have reported, so I figured I'd give it ago and update the BIOS. As per Gigabyte's instructions i grabbed the F13-BIOS, but when using the @BIOS-utility I get this message. Flash fails even if I type YES.



My Motherboard is an Asus Sabertooth 990FX Gen3 R2.0.

I've searched for the Board ID but found nothing. My first thought was that it might have something to do with the PLX-chip attached tp 3 of the PCIE Gen3-ports, but I get the same result if I put the card in a Gen2 port (allthough it is slightly more stable.)

I feel like I've reached a dead end here, and any help is greatly appreciated.

I put the card in another computer and was able to flash.

Unfortunately this didn't fix my issues. I'm still seeing "Microstutter".

Have you updated the Nvidia drivers to the latest ones?

Can you try the card in a friends computer?
