Hi there,

when you download the BIOS file it comes as a 7Zip compressed file. You need to extract the files before you can do anything with them. If you are not sure about flashing BIOS then check our FAQ here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,2441.msg13929.html#msg13929 where we go through the necessary steps.
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.

Hi,
You could try to get to safe mode by pushing F8 just before windows loading bar appears. Then try to restore Your system to a date when Your pc runned OK. You could also check a hard drive options in BIOS, is it IDE or AHCI. I think it should be IDE

Yes you could try to return your system to a previous restore point or just wipe it with a clean Windows installation.

Try to download this

Then extract it to a usb memory and follow the instructions.

When you update the BIOS you will have ot make sure that any changes you made to the BIOS before updating are restored.
The "Missing Operating System" message is usually because the SATA controller has changed from AHCI to IDE or vice versa orthe HDD BOOT order has changed.
