Gigabyte Aorus Master - bios update problem

father-ted · 1 Jan 2020 at 15:29

Hi,

I have just updated to the new f11 bios, and now cannot boot into Windows 10.
Have used Q Flash Plus, following the instructions in the manual.
Tried downloading the bios and repeating, still the same.

Can boot into safe mode fine.
Windows cannot repair the boot file.
Could the bios update have corrupted my W10?
Do I need a fresh install.

Thanks

Anyway you can flash back to previous bios?

What ssd hdd are you using

M2 drive.
I tried everything I could think of but could not repair it.
I have done a fresh install, as wasted too much time on trying to fix it in the end.

thanks anyway

This board has a dual bios if i am correct ? will it boot if you flick the switch to the second bios?

I tried that and it still would not boot.
Tried all options on restoring W10 but nothing worked.
I wasted too much time on it, so did a fresh install - all is fine again now.

Weird, never had this happen before from a bios update.

Very odd

If I update all drivers in my system using IOBIT DriverBooster - the system does not seem to like the lastest version SATA AHCI Controller.
Any reason for this - what is the best driver to use?

Just use the Gigabyte app centre to update your board with to the latest drivers ect, or download the driver you want manually from your motherboards support page.

No need to use third party software like that.
