bios flashing doesnt void warranty but it is risky procedure that if not done properly could make mb inoperation (repair is possible but is time spending or may be costly as well). it is quite simple proces and if you follow instructions you have to be real idiot to fuck it up. call those guys and ask them for time/cost. if experance guy do it shouldnt take more then 30-40 mins if they have compatable cpu.
it is kind of strange that you have such problems since according to mb's cpu support list it should be able to run fx6100 straight out of the box (fx6100 support is stated from firts releace version of bios).
did you reproted beep code you got to gigabyte support and what they did told you about its meaning. also check in google what beep code could mean.

okay, I have it in the box and gigabyte said the board should come with the fb bios required, so I am going to ship it back for exchange.

problem solved

I got a new motherboard through exchange and had all the same problems and only got beep codes with no ram. I now believe my ram was incompatible (something about it being rdimm and thusly unsupported)

I got a new motherboard(same one) and was able to get beep codes only with no ram(again). so, I looked into it deeper and found out that my computer doesn't support this ram. now I will return this ram and try again. I'll try to keep youguys posted.
ps; my old computer blew a capacitor on thursday so my internet setup is a little messed up. I'm using an older computer now. but I'll figure out what size it is, buy a replacement cap and solder that in later

I was poor and wanted to play skyrim on my old system so I bought this on an impulse. now it is just holding together and the fan takes some coaxing to start.

gt640 is mid range but still is way better then 8400.
good thing about video cards is that they can be easily replaced. remove old place new one and you are ready to go. plug and play.

I'd be wary of running 2 video cards with that PSU.

Offtopic but that's horrible junk power supply. Get a Seasonic, XFX, or Corsair.

really? I put the other one in (trying to figure out how to link them, or if they are linked), but the psu is letting out cool air, might my setup need more power or should I wait and see if this one fails? Could that harm my system, or will it just shut down?

Have a search around for reviews on your power supply, or opinions on it.

You'll get more information. But basically, it's not a very good unit and I doubt the 12v rails will be able to push all that much current.

Bad power supplies can take out your rig, i'm not saying that yours would tho, I don;t know enough about it apart from it isn;t well built :(

I would replace it as soon as I had the money. See if you can sell the other on ebay or something.

Edit - From reading around, they have a pretty high failure rate. But, you do get 22A on the first rail and 24A on the second 12v rail.

okay, that's good to know. I'll do that once I get a case for all of this. everything is just sprawled out on my desk at the moment. it seems unsafe.
