Hi Everyone !
For the owners of GA-EP45-DS4P Be careful of Bios Version F7 from Gigabyte website. I just flashed 2 of my brother and my girl friend motherboard ( Both of them is EP45-DS4P ) by using QFlash @ BIOS and follow all the steps in guide and after the message said that the flashing succeed I saved and reboot the computers. After POST the screen said that the Bios is corupted and it loading the defaults which is bios version F2. I have to downloaded more stable the version is F5 and the flashed is successfully. This happened to both my brother and my girlfriend mainboard.
I wonder why they keep posting this scrappy SH*T Bios version which is the final version ( Not beta version ) on their website which is NOT working at all

Hi mate,

I don't know the exact configuration for those boards, but i have a GA-EP45-DS3P, which uses virtually the same BIOS. I used to have the F7c (beta) and now using the F7 BIOS. I flashed with no problems at all even first time. I can't tell if it is the DS4 board, but i highly doubt it, since they are extremely similar to the DS3P except for the cooling. Try reseting the CMOS if you get the F2 version (that means the second-backup BIOS is kicking in). To get the F7 BIOS to boot, reset the CMOS, and if that doesn't work, try reflashing the BIOS from the F2. When you try to flash it tries to flash the Original BIOS, not the backup, so if it fails again, you have nothing to lose.

Good luck!
