4-2-2 Updating the BIOS with the @BIOS Utility
A. Before You Begin:
1. In Windows, close all applications and TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs. This helps
prevent unexpected failures when performing a BIOS update.
2. During the BIOS update process, ensure the Internet connection is stable and do NOT interrupt the
Internet connection (for example, avoid a power loss or switching off the Internet). Failure to do so
may result in a corrupted BIOS or a system that is unable to start.
3. Do not use the G.O.M. (GIGABYTE Online Management) function when using @BIOS.
4. GIGABYTE product warranty does not cover any BIOS damage or system failure resulting from an
inadequate BIOS flashing.
If the BIOS update file for your motherboard is not present on the @BIOS server site, please
