4-1-3 Flash BIOS Method Introduction
Before Use:
1. From GIGABYTE's website, download the latest compressed BIOS update file that matches your
motherboard model.
2. Extract the file and save the new BIOS file (e.g. M57SLS42.FA) to your floppy disk, USB flash
drive, or hard drive. Note: The USB flash drive or hard drive must use FAT32/16/12 file system.
3. Restart the system. During the POST, press the <End> key to enter Q-Flash. Note: You can access
Q-Flash by either pressing the <End> key during the POST or pressing the <F8> key in BIOS Setup.
However, if the BIOS update file is saved to a hard drive in RAID/AHCI mode or a hard drive attached
to an independent IDE/SATA controller, use the <End> key during the POST to access Q-Flash.
Step 1:
a. In the Q-Flash menu, use the UP or DOWN ARROW key to select Update BIOS from Drive and
press ENTER.
b. Select the floppy drive or hard drive where the BIOS file is saved, such as "Floppy A" and
press ENTER.
If you wish to back up the current BIOS file, use the Save BIOS to Drive function.
Updating the BIOS
Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, please do it with caution and avoid inadequate
operation that may result in system malfunction.
