    Gigabyte AB350-Gaming3

    Hi,
    I need to upgrade this bios with a version for Pinnacle Ridge CPU support (F20).
    I only have a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU and it doesn't boot, when powered, on motherboard the CPU LED is ON.
    I want to reprogram the IC Bios and would like to know what programmer would I need.

      I wouldn't be surprised if you're screwed, because of the Ryzen 2-series having different electrical requirements, so the UEFI-BIOS always selects the wrong voltages.

          I believe the files on the Gigagbyte website are just updates so a programmer won't work,
          You can a replacement chip already programmed with the latest BIOS from ebay for £10.

              ''Ryzen 5 2600'' is indeed supported on your mobo from BIOS version F20 and upwards.

              https://www.gigabyte.com/in/Motherbo...1x#support-cpu

              Your best option is to use a CPU which supports, update BIOS and then replace the CPU. If you have no way to access an out of box supported CPU, you have to use a in-circuit programmer [ ISP ] to upgrade the BIOS. De-soldering the chip, programming and then re-soldering will void your warranty. But BIOS programmers are costly and the cheap ones like CH341A are not that much reliable. You can give CH341A a try if you are out of options. In my experience, CH341A mostly works with Winbond chips and other Chip support seems to be flaky. If you are not concerned with warranty, your best option will be to order a per-programmed chip as the other guy has suggested.

                  You may be able to get a loan CPU from AMD to perform the upgrade:

                      Hi,
                      On the motherboard is 2 chips MX25U12873F.
                      I have a CH341A programmer.
                      What I need is the hex file to prog those chips.
                      Thanks

                          Can you boot from the backup bios ,press power AND the reset button together for about 10 sec, then release .

                              I will try, but I have Ryzen 5 2600 cpu, I don't have an old processor.

                                  GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2 - Stuck at Debug Code C2 - don't like Patriot Viper Steel RAM but works with G.SKILL
                                  by DynaxSC
                                  Hi,

                                  I discovered a strange behaviour of GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2 board.

                                  General test conditions:
                                  - Tested with Core i5 6500 and Core I7 6700K - no difference
                                  - Default BIOS settings, but tried also altering several memory setting - does not change anything

                                  What is wrong:

                                  With BIOS F1 and F2 the board normally POST's and boots to Windows 11 with 2 x Patriot Viper Steel PVS416G440C9K RAM (4400MHZ, Samsung B-Die chips)

                                  When BIOS upgraded to anything above F2 (ie. F20-F27b) the board POST stucks after 3 Debug Codes on Code C2                                  ...

                                  Greetings badcaps community,

                                  I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
                                  So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

                                  Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

                                  I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

                                  These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

                                  I learned that desoldering...

                                  A Dead/DOA Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU
                                  by momaka
                                  More eBay specials: this time a Gigabyte GP-P450b 450W ATX PSU for $8 with free S&H. Listed “For part/not working”, as usual. Showed up in a beat up EVGA box without any padding… but that's understandable given the total price. PSU made it out fine without damage. It's a non-modular (yay!), pretty modern-day looking PSU with a black paint and all black cables (meh, not my favorite, but figure it's good to keep a few of these in case I do need one for a more modern PC build, just so my old gray boxes don't look too odd in there.)
