OemID mismatch when I try to upgrade the BIOS of my motherboard using the official Gigabyte latest BIOS upgrade file...

I can't tell if that's sarcasm.

Not sarcasm at all. You are experienced in this area. I'm not. I'm happy to learn new things from someone that has gained a lot of experienced in something. I'm honored and I want to give a tribute to you.

You purchase for 10$ CH341A bios programmer that comes with all the attachments.

Then head over to win raid forums for their tutorial. There are many other tutorials out there, do investigate them.
 
Your tecnique is too technical and complicated for me. There is a too high risk that I make damages to the motherboard. If the task is so technical and there aren't less risky alternatives,I will buy two memory banks of a different brand.

It's the same risk as the procedure you follow with bad memory sticks installed. The difference is the flash happens without the need of cpu and memory installed at all.

But I do respect that concern.

So I will tell you flashing with a bad set of memory or a bad cpu isn't a good idea.

Remove all but 1 stick and test each stick individually. Then test them in a totally different system that supports the ram to confirm results.

I don't think the CPU is bad. I've bought a new memory stick (the minimum amount of memory,just to check what would have been happened),this one :


and it passed the test and I didn't see the crashing of the applications anymore.

UPDATE :

I've renamed Z390AORUSPRO.F13 to GIGABYTE.bin and I tried to flash it. Unfortunately I've got the same error "OemID Mismatch".
So,what ? Isn't a method to force the operation ? Isn't a method to see what's the OemID inside the BIOS image file that I'm running and that I have saved ?

According to this post :


Efiflash can bypass “Invalid BIOS image”


Do you reccomend this procedure ?​
