Hi all i have a problem this board has dual bios and only one will post the other has corrupted or bricked somehow, i dont know if its main bios or backup no way to tell from what i can see, is there anyway i can reflash the broken bios to get it to work again before i buy another board lol i dont have a bios switch so have to shut it down and turn power off to attempt to boot the broken bios thanks in advance

Shut off your computer
Hold the power button until your computer starts and shuts down again
Press the power button again, your backup BIOS should kick in now and should re-flash the backup BIOS if there's anything wrong with the new one.

right now there's no way to flash the secondary bios, but i think gigabyte is working on the problem. But once you're able go into the bios did you not reflash the main bios?

Yes I reflashed it but it just overwrote the existing bios so same problem persists, think I’m gonna buy a new board
