Hello,

I'm encountering a problem; I'm trying to update the BIOS of my motherboard. I have a B660 Gaming X DDR4 from Gigabyte. I downloaded version F21 of that BIOS available on Gigabyte's website. I extracted this file to the root of my USB drive, which I formatted beforehand in FAT32. I then plugged my USB drive into the "USB BIOS" port at the back of my motherboard. After that, I restarted my computer and entered the BIOS (spamming the "delete" key like a madman). I enter the BIOS and go to the "Q-Flash" tab to update my BIOS. I select my USB drive, then the file containing the F21 BIOS update. I proceed, and I get an error message saying "invalid BIOS image." I searched online, but I couldn't find a solution to my question. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.

    Hello,

    Either this is not the right file for your motherboard, or it is corrupted, try downloading it again to see.

      I therefore re-downloaded the same file and it still doesn’t work.

      Is it really the file B660GAMINGXDDR4.F21 that you put on the USB stick?

      If so, I don't understand, maybe you should ask Gigabyte support in that case.

      Another thing I could recommend is to format the drive to clear it and test it with H2testw to verify its validity.

      Thank you very much for your help; it was good, this file, but this time I didn’t just upload the file, I uploaded the whole folder and it worked.

      Thank you very much.
