Gigabyte BIOS update issue

[smelanson]

It has been a while since I posted here but I was curious if anyone has experienced this issue with a Gigabyte motherboard. I have a B460M DS3H with BIOS version F5, I updated it from F3, there are not 2 new updates, F6e and F6. I am unable to update to either of them, I receive the message “Invalid BIOS image” in the Q-Flash utility. I have downloaded the file multiple times on different computers, etc and still have the same issue. I am thinking about resetting the BIOS settings. I contacted Gigabyte and they said I can send it back under warranty but I don’t want to be without this system as it is my file server. If anyone knows of a solution please let me know.

go to gigabyte-forum and get a replament MOBO. Always good to have multiples at hand. and be aware. after certain time psu, videocard must be replaced. psu better before crashing pc.
and cleaning all contacts from time to time. if sata-drive also those under board!! no need to explain why. have almost 30 years of experience. and doing that saved me often.
I would have googled the problem
