    I am trying desperately to update the bios on my gigabyte mobo. I am pretty computer savvy, and have been at this a long time, although some how this is my first time flashing a bios.

    I have tried every thing. Gigabyte offers a utility to flash from windows called @bios. I have tied this multiple times under varying circumstances, and the end result is always either the computer freezing, or flashing a blue screen and then rebooting. Although it sounds bad, the computer is left un harmed when this happens.

    I have also tried flashing via USB storage device, but every time I enter the qflash utility and connect the flash drive with the bios on it, it freezes before I can even select flash from drive. The only things I havent tried are flashing from a floppy ( I dont have one) and making a boot cd ( I cant find any solid instructions on how to do this)

    I already restored the default bios setting, but this didnt help either.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I really would like to get this done. Here is some info on my computer.

    Gigabyte ep43-ud3l MOBO

    Intel Q8200 CPU Overclocked to 2.9ghz ( Restored default when attempting to flash)

    4 Gigs GSKILL RAM

    EVGA 9800GTX+ Superclocked edition graphics card
