Hello
Ok friends. I have got the prayer mat out and have got everything crossed in the hope that you may be able to rescue my motherboard. I have a Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H motherboard which I tried to update the bios on. For some reason the computer shut down half way through the update. No idea why. It just turned itself off. The computer will now turn on but only runs for a fraction of a second three times then it starts and runs for approx 15 seconds before it shuts down and starts again. This is continuing now for a couple of hours.
I have changed the power supply for a known good one but still the same. Start, stop, start, stop. Am I right in assuming that its because the bios is now corrupt (or what ever the correct terminology is) ??? If so, I believe that the GA-Z77-D3H is a dual bios motherboard and the backup bios should have kicked in and reset the main bios. Am I correct???
I have read many words of wisdom on the internet about removeing the battery and shorting the bios pins next to the battery which I have done but alas still no change. Start, stop, start, stop.
Am I up the swanny without a paddle and is it the case that I need to take the motherboard out and shoot it to put it out of its misery or is there a way that I can rescue it???
I wait with hope that there is someone out there that can help me.
Regards to you all
