Hi, before i RMA this board i thought i would have a last try at trying to solve the problem again.

First specs.

i5 4670k @ stock
Gigabyte Z87X-SLI
8GB Team Group Orange 2400 @ stock
Sapphire HD 7970 OC GHZ ED
650W SuperFlower 80+ gold PSU
1TB Segate Barracuda 7200rpm

So before all this started I had a rock solid overclock of 4.5ghz (x45 multi, 1.3v) Ram set to 2400 everything else auto. prime blend, small and large ffts stable 9 hours before i stopped it myself. intel burn test all passed everything was fine.

So i upgrading the bios to the latest version F3c for mine which stated more stable and ever since i cant do any overclock at all without BSOD at any clock multi voltage nothing. ive even tried setting it to x40 multi 1.325v and within 15 seconds of any stress test it BSOD and gives me these codes.

stop 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000) (0xFFFFFA80085CD028) (0x00000000BE000000) (0x00000000000100110A)

Steps ive tried to do.

1-removed bios battery 5 mins
2-returned everything to default in bios then removed battery 5 mins
3-tried ram separately in all 4 slots
4-removed gpu
5-resetting back to previous bios.
6- ???

Now ive tried everything to downgrade the bios using @BIOS efi flash Qflash but it keeps telling me the motherboard is write protected and cannot be downgraded. I did try to find out how to flash it via dos but could not get my head around it.

Does anyone know how i could possibly reflash the stock bios it came with at all as it was perfect until the bios upgrade and at a loss now. But the thing is is runs absolutely fine at all stock setting i can prime95 for hours all tests 55.c max temps i just cant get it to overclock now.

please help

Here's some correct advice,

This board does not have a BIOS switch and so you cant flip inbetween the two (the backup bios is there when the first one fails).

So @op are you asking how to flash the original BIOS back onto the board?

As that should be a simple case of downloading BIOS F1 again and flashing it using Qflash again.
