Posted January 7, 2018 Parts: Cpu: Intel i7-6700k Ram: Corsair vengeance 3000 Mobo: Gigabyte z270mx Gaming 5 Gpu: Evga ftw3 1080 ti So I went ahead and downloaded the Intel Management Engine critical update utility off of the Gigabyte site. Ran it, and now I can't even hit post. I've tried removing everything but cpu and ram, tried clearing cmos, and even tried a backup i5-6600 and spare crucial ballistix ram, but still the same result. I am currently bootlooped before hitting post. Each attempted boot alternates between the DRAM and the VGA error lights turning on in the mobo. Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? Really don't want to RMA this board. print "Hello World!" ("Hello World!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 7, 2018 Well the BIOS is probably rekt, if Gigabyte has a flashing utility that you can run externally like ASUS then you can flash a new BIOS on it that way. Otherwise you will have to RMA I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays... nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Treat others as you would like to be treated. #2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. #3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong.

Posted January 7, 2018 Author I have no way to enter BIOS. Is it possible to flash the BIOS without actually making it into BIOS first? print "Hello World!" ("Hello World!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 7, 2018 Method #1:1. Shut your PC down (if you're reading this guide, than your PC isn't working anyways) 2. Hold the power button until the PC starts and shuts down again3. Press the power button again, your backup BIOS should kick in now and should re-flash the main BIOS if there's anything wrong with it.Method #2:1. Shut your PC down2. Hold the power AND the reset button for about 10 sec, than release.3. Backup BIOS should kick in anytime soon now. Can you try these methods above?
