Gigabyte BIOS Update (Users)

Hi,
Modern Gigabyte Boards are sometimes a little bit tricky, see my comment:
https://www.bttr-software.de/forum/board_entry.php?id=20624#p20624

But this time this not the problem. The picture says it all.
The flashspi.exe offers the options: /C /D /E /R /S whereas in the
autoexec.bat it uses /z . This causes an error message. So you should type
something like this: flashspi /S /R EX58UD3R.J18 (maybe some more options).


I personally would recommend that you go into BIOS (maybe by pressing DEL while booting up, nowadays it is usually "F2" and update it from there. Plug in the USB stick before booting. As each BIOS UI looks a little different, I cannot tell you, where you have to look, but anywhere there is an option to update the BIOS from an USB stick. I am sure you will find it, if not try the GIGABYTE.bin renaming trick. (EX58UD3R.J18 is renamed to GIGABYTE.BIN)

IMPORTANT:
The more problematic thing with Gigabyte boards is that they "forget" the actual BIOS settings that you can see on the screen, even if you save them before! So it is recommended to take a picture with the settings of all pages of the BIOS BEFORE you start with update. Virtualization, boot orders, the boot screen etc. are often changed to standard settings! Without a picture it is hard to find the changes by testing.
