What I've done:Upgrade a PC for an acquaintance.
I installed the new GTX 1060 and MX500. Installed a new windows on it, everything ran how it should.
Though the SSD performance when I ran benchmarks it was lower than expected (It was hooked up to SATA 3.0)
I read that there were some SATA improvements on a newer version of BIOS.
So I decided to flash to a new BIOS version, F6 to F15 on motherboard GA-B75M-D3H
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-B75M-D3H-rev-12#support-dl-biosThe flash was "successful". I reboot, but it says to insert bootable device.
I go into BIOS and change op the bootorder so the SSD is in the top. F10 to save and exit
Bum! Now it's stuck in boot loop.
The Issue:3-4 boot loops, then it enters BIOS, the only thing it says is GIGABYTE UEFI DUALBIOS in the top, which it shows for a few seconds, then it reboots and the same loop starts again.
I've tried to clear CMOS on the jumper
I've tried to remove the battery (15 minutes and then over the night)
I've tried this:
"Since its dualbios system you can force to kick the backup into place. You can restore the backup bios by flipping the power supply switch in the back to off position. Hold the power button at the front, and while holding flip power supply to on position. As the pc turns on, -in one-two seconds, flip the power supply to off again. Then turn on the power supply and the pc. bios will load overwrite the current bios,with the backup, and after that, you will not have a boot loop.?"Will I've be able to save it?Not the first time I've run into BIOS issues. But a CMOS clear have always been the save.
I've flashed BIOS on at least 30 systems (specially Ryzen systems)
