Long story short. Im working on a guys PC that wouldn't start. It was an easy fix because the motherboard had become earthed with the chassis.
However since i was working on his PC anyway I decided to check for a bios update for his motherboard which is a Gigabyte GA-Z87 HD3 -- Yes it is a trash motherboard but i didnt build his machine.
I downloaded the F8 bios from Gigabytes website and the update went perfectly fine but when the PC restarted I found that if there was anything hard drives or optical drives plugged into the motherboard, the PC wouldnt POST.
Ive tried to flash it back to the previous bios but the bios wouldnt let me and demands that i flash an uptodate bios. Ive tried following this Z170 guide in the hopes that it would be able to force flash back to the previous bios but that method isnt supported....
So im stuck with a 'working' PC that might as well be dead because I cant get it to post and when i do, i cant get into windows because the motherboard wont post with any sata drives plugged in...
Ive tried toying around with the sata settings in the bios but nothing i do gets it working. Ive googled the issue and found out that others have had similar problems and the only thing they could do was either RMA or buy an identical board and do a 1:1 swap. a pre-owned board is available on ebay but the price is too high to even worth considering for such a poopie motherboard....
I need a someone to edit the date contained inside the older F7 bios to be newer than the F8 bios... Im not sure if there needs to be any signed signatures but this isnt my forte so im requesting help with it.
Im aware that there are a few folks around these parts that do this sort of thing... namely @R-T-B who is most awesome at this stuff!
If you leave me your paypal, your 15mins spent editing the bios file will be paid for with a beer or two.
This guy trusts me enough to work on his PC so i dont want to turn around and say that i f**ked it up doing something perfectly normal.
Thanks.
