Title: Important information missing from manual
Post by: quintusthe2nd on November 30, 2015, 02:18:49 am

hello gigabyte support and helpers,

I'm using a B85(M?) chipset, can't check this week the exact board name but i assume the procedure does not differ from board to board for the b85 mobos. All I can remember rigth now is that it does not have a jumper or switch to easily switch to backup. ( Not cool gigabyte, how much extra cost would that have been, 3$?)

How can I manually reset BIOS back to backup version?
Can I update the backup BIOS version?

Thank you for your help community. I require it greatly.

Cheers,

Quintus II

Method #1:
1. Shut your PC down
2. Hold the power button until the PC starts and shuts down again
3. Press the power button again, your backup BIOS should kick in now and should re-flash the main BIOS if there's anything wrong with it.

Method #2:
1. Shut your PC down
2. Hold the power AND the reset button for about 10 sec, than release.
3. Backup BIOS should kick in anytime soon now.

Thank you for the answer but neither method works. Other suggestions?
