There's two revisions of the board but the bios file looks the same just download the latest F11a (2013/11/13)

I used to have the same motherboard and IIRC it used to have a Q-flash utility in the bios that allowed you to update the bios from a flas hdisk or the harddrive. Press F8 when in bios.

Ok I've downloaded the latest BIOS entered qflash there are 3 files which one do I select? It shows:

AUTOEXEC.BAT
Efiflash.exe
Z77DS3H.11A

You should be able to copy the files to a USB flash drive, I think it has to be formatted to fat32, boot into the bios and use qflash to load the Z77DS3H.11A, backup the current one first just in case

select the Z77DS3H.11A.

The other two are just the executable if you need to flash from a DOS command prompt.

Thanks everyone it works perfectly I just needed to update my BIOS.

Im currently playing FO4, can anyone reccomend any games to show off my new card, I've been out of gaming for the last 12 months and have just upgraded to the 380x for FO4.

My spec is now:
i5 3570K
R9 380x
8GB RAM

Is my cpu still up for the job or will it need upgrading soon?

Glad you got this sorted!

Your CPU is still good enough, that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider an upgrade somewhere in the near future!

In terms of games you could try GTA V, Rainbow Six Siege, Crysis, Arma 3 and Battlefield 4.

Result

CPU is fine. A bit of an overclock will help in some games. No biggie if you cant.

Wicher 3 sure was pretty...

 

[Limpnoodle]

Impressive thread to watch, glad these guys helped you fix your problem and is up and running, may the gaming commence

Gta5 is pretty aswell

 

[Jodz]

I know I wouldn't have figured it out otherwise
