Hello!
First of all apologies if this has been asked already, I have searched through quite a bit of posts but could not find threads with this particular problem - that or I can't seem to find the right words to describe my problem because I am not a native English speaker.
System
OS: Windows 7 64 bit Home SP1
RAM: 8 gb Crucial RAM
Motherboard: Gigabyte B85-HD3
Processor: Intel i7 4770 3.4 Ghz
GPU: AMD HD 7970 Ghz edition
HDD: 1 TB Barracuda
Background (this may or may not be relevant)
I have had this computer for about three years and about the first year it was plagued by BSODs alot.I then flashed and updated my BIOS and that seemed to have helped the problem. About a month ago everything went down hill. Everything stopped working after the Windows 10 transition. And after that I couldn't install Windows 7 again. It turned out the SSD I had first installed was corrupt, so I ditched it. Computer has run stable since.
Problem
Last sunday my computer gave me a prompt on startup if I would like to "swap the BIOS". I read there are Gigabyte Motherboards with dualBIOS, so as to backup the main BIOS. But as far as I'm concerned, it's working correctly. I can choose 'okay' or press the cross. When I press the cross the computer boots up normally. After that it didn't ask it anymore until today. The prompt was back. It doesn't impact my computer use at all. Every file is still here, everyting works. I can game without a problem. I would just like to know what is going on. I'm too scared to press 'okay' because I'm not sure what it's going to do.
Thanks in advance!
