Gigabyte dual BIOS failed.

[Koenig168]

I prefer the dual BIOS on my MSI board. I can switch to either BIOS via a hardware selector on the MB. This way, when I brick one, I can still use the other for boot.

Hardware lottery.

Seems like every brand of MB has its issues. When I bought this MSI Z97-GD65, Amazon has a bunch of negative reviews complaining about failing USB ports. Thankfully, I got a good board which has been rock stable.

problem solved.

Send it to CDL. And the tech there re-flash the bios. Activate th 2nd bios. Flash everything and all is working great. Even a few mths off warranty he still fix it. Sometimes good after sales and customer service is important as good hardware.

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?

You don't need Mac to make Bootable USB. You can run Mac inside VMware of windows PC, and create a Bootable disk
