EP45-UD3P BIOS ID Check Error

guitarfreaknation · Jul 9, 2010

I have tried using 3 different USB drives and I cannot update my BIOS to F8,F9,or F10. I format all of them with FAT32 option. Copy BIOS files to it. Go to QFlash and get the same Error! I am current on F7 Bios. Any thoughts?

EDIT: I used one of those drives before to flash bios to F7

Try downloading from a different mirror/server and try again.

you got anything else on the usb drives / usb flash drives you are trying to flash the bios with?

choppy · Jul 9, 2010

with bios updates: if it aint broke dont fix it.

make sure your following the instructions properly? i always get the manual out and make sure i follow it word for word, never had an issue updating bios when its been needed

Well I format then copy the 3 BIOS files (F8,F9.F10)

I did copy just the F10 but still no luck.

I was hoping that a bios update would be beneficial to my overclocking.

If it aint broke, fix it till it breaks.

Saw this in someone sig...

I've got the DDR2 version of this mobo - fantastic, init? :rockout:

Is your CPU overclocked? If so, put everything back to defaults and try again.

Also, why don't you try updating the BIOS from within Windows? There's not much risk of bricking your PC from a corrupted update and you've got the awesome dual BIOS feature to protect against this, anyway.

Try to get the BIOS file from another server, as theonedub said.

Good luck. :toast:

Yeah the MoBo is awesome so far.

Thanks for the useful tips.

correct me if i misunderstood, your copying 3 bios files to your usb? why?

you can only update to one of those bios files: so its F8 or F9 or F10.

whats your current bios?

Have you tried the @bios utility in windows?

Laurijan · Jul 9, 2010

Maybe the USB stick needs NTFS format?

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. ep45ud3p.f1) 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.
4. In the main menu of Q-Flash, use the up or down arrow key to select Update BIOS from Drive and press <Enter>.
5. Select drive containing bios and press Enter
6. Select the BIOS update file and press <Enter>.

The process of the system reading the BIOS file from the floppy disk is displayed on the screen. When the message "Are you sure to update BIOS?" appears, press <Enter> to begin the BIOS update. The monitor will display the update process.

When the update process is complete, press any key to return to the main menu.

"BIOS ID Check Error"

Maybe because BIOS settings are not at default? (OCed my chip)

choppy · Jul 10, 2010

sorry just realised the error in the title!

your definitely sure you've got the correct bios for the revision of your board?
as ive noticed in your system spec your board is EP45T-UD3P and for this thread you've said EP45-UD3P

WOW>>>> I just noticed I was looking at the ep45 bios and my board is EP45T

sh!t, I saw the discrepancy too and thought you just made a typo! <slaps head>

All I had to say was something like "Please check that you're using the correct BIOS for the correct board, DDR2 or DDR3". Guess we're all human.

At the risk of asking the obvious, have you been able to update the BIOS now?

I was trying to force that bios down its throat... :roll:

Well I think I learned an important lesson here.

EDIT: Didnt try to update because the latest BIOS for ep45t is beta.

Hayder_Master · Jul 10, 2010
