The BIOS needs to be the correct version to support the CPU, which you can find on Gigabyte's webpage for this motherboard.

To update the BIOS you need a compatible CPU inserted first

What is the version of the bios that is required?

 

I don't have any other supporting desktop for bios updated. What is the alternative?

The motherboard supports it, but you may need to update the BIOS for it to work. The earliest BIOS support for the 3000G is version F40, which was released in June of 2019. If the original owner updated the BIOS at some point after June 2019, you should be all set.

 

If not, you'll need to update the BIOS yourself by getting a compatible CPU (probably Ryzen 1000 series) and then ideally updating it twice - first to version F31, then to version F40, as version F31 improved support for the on-board Q-Flash utility that allows for updating the BIOS without booting into Windows.

Please use the quote button so we can see your responses.

 

From what I can tell, the BIOS version "F40" is required. If you didn't buy this motherboard recently, it will not have this BIOS version, but a much older version instead (unless you updated it yourself before)

I understood.. I purchased it on 2018
