Title: Dissatisfied with gigabyte , F20 Bios (Gpu not working)
Post by: Believerguy on November 25, 2016, 06:12:28 am: 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?

This should help.

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

And I may need a command

Post by: Believerguy on November 26, 2016, 06:56:30 am: 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
