I have a Gigabyte 8IK1100 (Rev. 2.0) mobo with the factory installed BIOS version FF. I updated to the latest version, FI, and when my system rebooted i got an error message that read "error loading operating system". I then used Q-Flash to restore the FF BIOS and then disabled hyper-threading and tried again. Same problem. I then tried the previous BIOS updates (FG, FH) and again, same problem. The original BIOS (FF) is the only version that works. What's the deal?


On a side note, why is it that both Q-Flash and DualBIOS only allow you to update/restore BIOS from a floppy drive? I don't even have a floppy, I had to take one out of my old PC and rig it up to this one, which was a pain in the ass. It seems kinda odd that it only lets you use a floppy drive considering the fact that floppy drives are pretty much obsolete nowadays.

Well I'm not sure why you're having that problem with the versions, but the question about floppy drives, is that the bios probably wouldn't have the drivers for the Cd-rom, so that is why you need to use a floppy.
