hello

spent last 2 days trying to get a dos bootable disk etc where i could run the flash utility to update to the f8 bios however ive tried numerous ways and everytime in dos i get the same error stating that the flash utility is out of date and to contact gigabyte for an updated version.

where do i go from here

Do you use EFIFLASH.exe which is included with F8 bios file?

Regarding Windows tool (@BIOS) - do you use ver B13.1112.1?
If not then download it from here and try again.

yes i used the files that came with the download and not sure exactly what version although i shall give that a try just now
