Dissatisfied with gigabyte , F20 Bios (Gpu not working)

[Believerguy]

Z170x Gaming 7 rev 1.0


My gpu doesn't work after the update

I tried the beta update F20d when it was released. also had the issue but uefi allow me to downgraded it which is fine. 


Everything was working fine on the last version


Official F20 doesn't let me downgrade it


Its not acceptable . We pay lots of money for pc build. But for some reason   There were issues with bios version that doesn't recognize the gpu.  Bravo gigabyte



My gpu is GTX 1080 FE



I want to force uefi to downgrade the bios . How can I do that?

Many here suggest that you not upgrade just for the sake of having the latest BIOS.  Especially if you have something stable and working.

This should help.

When you used the program fpt_dos170 did you do everything it told you to do? When you unzip the program you have to put all those files on the USB drive + your bios. Plus I think with using a bootable USB drive using Rufus. Try it both ways I have never used fpt_dos170. Trying it with Rufus and with out.

- put all files on your USB stick
- add the BIOS file you want to flash and rename it "bios.bin"
- reboot and start on your USB stick
- flash start automatically... wait for "FPT Operation Passed"
- restart with CTRL+ALT+DEL

It show me this , once I boot my usb

Maybe the flash doesn't work neccesarly

And I may need a command

Never mind

It actually worked.  I am an idiot 


What was wrong? 

I have copied FPT_DOS-Z170  Document. This is why it didn't work

I removed the document,  I only copied the files inside the document.  And it worked

Thanks everyone

Enter command like this.

fpt.exe -f bios.bin

Seems we finally have a viable BIOS downgrade tool.  Hopefully we will hear from others who are successful on older chipsets as well.
