Anybody having trouble flashing GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3 to UEFI

I've made a bootable DOS usb drive ran the flasher, flash seemed to complete ok then came up with an error message at the end and when I rebooted it was still on the last F8 Award BIOS as before the upgrade. Stupidly I didnt write the error message down (most unlike me, but if it's happened to you you'll know what it is). ANyone know how to get around it?

You did download the right UEFI BIOS for your board?

Yes Z8XPUD3P.U1E redid it so I could get the error msg 'fixture is not removed or switch is not set to on'

wtf :confused:

Ain't got a clue mate (maybe try the Gigabyte tech forums?)

When I did it, it just worked - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18404556

Fixed it and BIOS done, shamefacedly made a typo in the autoexec.bat for the bios name so if anyone else runs into this error, you will know what it is and it should read FLASHEFI <name of biosfile>

Glad it worked out for you in the end.
