I haven't played with the Z77X-UP5 but I doubt you can "break" or "kill" the BIOS. Most likely your OC settings were unbootable and it just reset itself.Quote:

Only way to check is by flipping switch.Quote:

From what I understand: the bios chip's content is copied into system memory at time of boot-up. The bios chip is not "consulted" again, until the subsequent system re-boot.Quote:

My UD5H board shipped from the factory with version F4. Have since updated the Primary to version F10a, and the backup bios is now on version F9h.
next time vivi press ALT+F10 or F11 and it will flash the backup with the main. that is what you have to do when a BIOS is corrupted. It will allow you to chose which. if you do ALT+F11 then it will ask about a fixture or flip a switch, it will load the main BIOS into the CMOS, then you can flick a switch and it will write to that BIOS. F10 might be easier i think is just main to backup, i have to recheck it.

Im looking at these Giga z77boards. The UD5H is pretty reasonable, any advantage to the more expensive UD/UP5's just for benching?
they have thunderbolt /shrug

@C-N: isn't that system running 32-bit Windows 7?
64-bit Windows 7 is the problem area, for me.
No the first images I uploaded & removed was XP-32 Bit that one is W7-64 BitQuote:

I'm not singing many prasies over the ud5h one went down in a month after launch(sitting here still dead) now the one i went and got from the local mc has its first two ram slots 4.2 dead(51 code) was all of the sudden on air wth?
i cant boot at all in those slots only in 1-2 for single channel...still waiting for a bios so i cant use ivy on my p67 ud7's they put up with alot more then these 2 boards did.
not picking up another
why don't you RMA?Quote:

Well one is not dead but single channel only.
I looked around socket see if it was me cutting the board or something i could not see anything
Cool give it a shot.Quote:
