I have a GA-H61MA-D3V motherboard and Windows 7 Home Pro. I wanted to update my BIOS from F3 so that I could upgrade my G850 CPU to something like an i5.
Qflash isn't available for this, so I tried using @BIOS. It updated to F6 and the computer rebooted. It got to the Windows logo before telling me that something was wrong and that I needed to try to repair. The repair did not work. I went to the BIOS menu and tried loading optimized defaults, and the same thing happened.
I took out the CMOS for several minutes, put it back in. I was told that the BIOS had been reset. Windows has the same problem and cannot repair. I went to the BIOS menu (it says F6 even after the CMOS thing) and tried loading optimized defaults, and it's still not booting.
I don't think I've seen a "safe defaults" option anywhere, or I'd try that.
I found this thread where the person had to fresh install Windows (that's just booting with the Windows install disc in, right?), and I guess I'll try that if no one has any other suggestions.
