BIOS Auto-Recovering problem

[ahpap]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my Graphic Drive (some usual ATI update) and It requested a restart. I chose "restart now" and It said Like this while booting "Loading Operation system...

Begin to update backup BIOS to latest version...

BIOS auto-recovering .................................."

And It goes in a restart loop. All and all again. Same Every time.

I tried clearing CMOS.

I dont think It because of BIOS battery died. I heard they have long life. I bought this motherboard 3 years ago.

Now I'm trying to Update BIOS with Q-Flash but It doesnt even sees the Drives Im choosing "Update from drives" It says "No Drive Found".(I tried with USB and FAT32 Hard Drive. And yes my USB legacy - controller things are already on. USB was plugged in before boot. It saw the floopy A. But I didnt even have floppy room and drives. I disabled it.)

Yep this is another problem.

PS: If I force PC to close(with holding down power button) It says "Warning: MAIN BIOS checksum error!

Retriving recovery source from HPA...

Retriving recovery source from Backup BIOS...

BIOS Auto-recovering ...."

And It goes in a restart loop again. If I turn off the Power Supply It goes back to "Loading Operation System

Begin to update backup BIOS to latest version...

BIOS auto-recovering .................................."

My Motherboard: GA-P55A-UD4

Help please I dont know what to do!

If you can get to QFlash, you should be able to re-flash the BIOS (in theory anyway).  This is an older MB.  The BIOS files available are in a self extracting .exe format.  Have you run the .exe and copied the extracted file to the root of your FAT32/16 formatted USB stick?

It's not detecting USB-Hard Drive anyways. So I think first of all I need to get it detected. And yeah required files are in them. How do I get it detected?

PS: I can open BIOS - Q-Flah menu while booting.

Could be a formatting issue.  What did you use to format as FAT32?

[ahpap]

The hard drive was already FAT32. And USB... I cant remember. It was on my friend's PC

Couple of things is make sure you are not putting the usb drive in the USB3 ports.

When using a flash USB drive make sure it is fat-32. Right click on it then click format and no system files Quick format.

The USB drive should only have the bios files on it. Most of the times it should be 3 files. Autoexe, Flash, & the bios. If it asks about Auto.exe files just yes.

The other thing is have the flash drive plug and then look under Advanced BIOS Features / Hard Disk Boot Priority.

Make sure the USB drive is the first one in the list. Reboot go back in. Then you should be able to do Q-Flash

I'm old school once you got the bios flash shut it down unplug the power and pull the battery move the jumper for the cmos wait about 10 mins.

Put the battery back in move the jumper back. Go in set it to default reboot then re-set your bios backup.
