What motherboard are you using? Some motherboards have a setting that disable BIOS update. You need to enable it in BIOS first.

Turn on your computer, press <b>Delete</b> key when it boots to access your BIOS. I don't use GigaByte so you need to consult your mobo's manual where it is and how to do it.

Hi,

No i didn't reset anything, i just followed the instructions.

I ran a program(tells u what bios/version u have) and it shows new bios but when i boot up it still shows old version!

Is it possible the old will show during boot up, but new version is actually there?

Now when i shut down PC it reboots by itself over and over again!

I have to shut down using the button on case.

Could be something with those double BIOSes which are on the Gigabyte boards. Try to switch to the other BIOS and see if that one is new, I don't know if that's possible but it could be that only one BIOS was flashed and that the other one stayed the same.

Hi sorry i cant speak english correctly :) but i try to help you. i sugest you to use liveupdate software (downloadable from gigabyte site) and try to update your bios from windows. the "bios flash protection" in the setup most be disable . and if you mainboard have the jumper for protect your bios should be disable too. your main board may have a jumper to select primary or backup bios for use and you should set it to use primary. in the "live update" check the clear CMOS for reset your bios options after updating, and then restart your computer and enter the setup ,load setup default and save the setting. if you see the old bios version again enter e dual bios utility by pressing F1 and update bachup bios from primary bios then try this way again. if your bios updated successfully, update bachup bios again for feutur use.
:) bye

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine!
