You'll need to reset your bios using the bios clear jumper on your motherboard. That should do the trick!

Did you flash the bios? What method did you use?

When you download the bios file, use a flash utility tool and then put the bios file you've just download on to the USB stick. Restart the computer and then have it boot to the USB stick.

From there, you should be able to flash.

Let me know if you need more help, I can provide images step by step if needed.

First go to the Gigabyte site and download the BIOS you want to flash. Format the USB stick if its not yet. Then proceed the download BIOS from gigabyte. Run that file and extract that to your USB stick.

Now on to the BIOS.

In Set Utility - Standard CMOS Features screen view - the following settings
Drive A = NONE
Floppy 3 Mode Support = DISABLED

Be sure that on the third image below where it says "Legacy USB Storage Detect" is enabled.

Restart the computer and boot it off from there. It should run and flash. After flashing, Clear CMOS and Load Optimize Settings. Then save your settings and reboot. You should have successfully flash your BIOS.

Make sure Legacy USB storage detect [Enabled] and also disable "quick booting".
