Gigabyte dual BIOS failed.

[lordie]

My 3 yrs old gigabyte socket 1155 failed, when flashing to new bios. It's corrupted can't RMA cos warranty over by 4 mths, anyway to salvage it?

Any any store online or SLS sell any of these still? Or must buy a new mobo+chip combo?

- GA-Z77M-D3H
- GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP
- G1.Sniper M3

H77 chipset
- GA-H77M-D3H
- GA-H77M-HD3

B75 chipset

- GA-B75M-D3V

When the BIOS menu kick in, can't press END to bring out q-flash to rollback. Or any menu at all.

Stuck at reboot cycle loop. Reset CMOS does not help as well. Any idea?

New Z77 boards are quite expensive now, assuming you can find it. Your alternatives are the second-hand market or get a new H61 board from Convergent.

How much those cost, I dun mind buying it. It need to be a gigabyte mobo and UEFI as I ran dual boot hackingtosh el capitan and win10 each on its own SSD.

And it need to be micro ATX, it's all sit in fractal define mini case.

Newegg, Amazon or SLS?

I'm thinking of building a Hackintosh as well but don't have access to a Mac to make a Unibeast/Multibeast/Clover installation USB drive. Any way you can help with this?

yeah i got a few variation of bootable USB boot drive installer for OS X, i can pass u those. or do u need something more custom?

My current install is using Clover with UEFI, so far thats the best for me IMHO, boots up really fast with UEFI win10/OSX.

newegg only got this few and i shortlisted them. b4 i head down to SLS to look for more option which one is a better mobo? sorry newbie of mobo here.

- GIGABYTE GA-H61M-S2PV(R2.0) LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard $64
- ASRock H61M-DGS R2.0 LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard $49
- Refurbished: ASUS P8H67-M LX (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel H67 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX Intel Motherboard $59

i would say that asus P8H67, but the thing is that does they fall under hackintosh acceptance mobo?

I'm a total noob at this. Basically, I'll start with http://lifehacker.com/the-always-up-to-date-guide-to-building-a-hackintosh-o-5841604 and figure things out as I go along.

I'm using an Asrock Z77 Pro4-M which I recently acquired, together with an i7-3770 which I will pull from my back-up rig. I've got a modded BIOS from one of the forums. It's UEFI so your Clover/UEFI option will be perfect for me.

I'll PM you my contact number and we can work something out.

Found a discussion here on how to activate the back-up BIOS, assuming it has not been corrupted as well. The methods discussed might be worth a try.

Since I already have the Asrock, I will use that. Thanks for the advice re Gigabyte, if I come across a cheap Z77 mATX Gigabyte, I will consider getting it.

That why I find gigabyte mobo very gimmicky, dual bios still failed
