try this:
Shut down the system (don't switch off the PSU). Press and hold the case power button for 10 seconds. The system will automatically turns on (don't let go your finger) and off. Press the case power button again and the backup BIOS will starts to recover the main.

Oh, THAT Trick....

Forgot that didn't work for DOM, but DOM's *backup* BIOS got corrupted...not his main...

will try this one first ...thanks a lot for all the inputs and help !

Edit:

It turns out that TouchBIOS isn't a firmware application, but rather a Windows-based utility

need help .... i have flashed the bios of my ud5 to a newer one ...board is still the b2 stepping ... while running benchmark, it hang and rebooted ...during reboot the boardis trying to flash to its backup bios but was not able to complete it since another reboot happened...after that now the board will just turned on for 1-2 sec, then off then on then off..endless on/off and will not be able to POST ... is my board dead already? any way to force it to use the backup bios ? is there a way to revice this board? please help as i am in the middle of oc contest locally here and this board is the best i have right now

Had the same issue with my UD7 and I ended up RMA'ing it. Not sure about the shorting trick but it happened to me while flashing a backup bios. It seemed to complete the bios backup but then shut down at the end of the flash. Once that happened it would continually reboot and nothing seemed to helped.

Well after this site loaded those pages I see that it may take a bit more voltage vs f7e/f but eva seems to like it. I guess I will stick with it.

Thanks for pointing me to the right page.

EDIT: Has anyone gotten CLoud OC to work on this board? I can change all the voltages, but only the memory multiplier up top. I uninstalled the latest version (on giga's website) of ET6 and then I suddenly got cpu multi changes. No bclk, no pcie, or anything else...Any thoughts on this?

um duh? lol i don't know why anyone would think its not UEFI lol.

But its cool touch screen monitor can touch screen, you get to choose stuff, i just hope we can use old fashioned bios.

[Hondacity]

..you need a touchscreen? bs

[jas420221]

Does anyone see a problem with running F8x as the primary and F3 as the backup outside of F3's talked about shrotcomings? SHould I go f8x/f8x?

Im loving this board for 3D. Did some more benching today. Got carried away with the vcore in the first screen, LLC2 adds a ton of vcore.

Thanks Dumo for all the help

F8x was for me the best bios of the B2 revision board ... you can keep it.

About your second question, this bios is less easy to corrupt, i have never get the need to use the backup bios ( something who was happend a lot with early bios ) ... free to you to see if you want keep the old bios in backup or not.

i dont agree Lanek i would sugest to flash your B2 with B3 F3h no reboot loops, perfect enter to bios, very fast, the best bios so far, of course inmo

Thanks for the insight. I have a B3 though... does that change the story any? F3h or F8x?

anytime mate

if you have B3 go with F3h then

[jas420221]

Back to flashing!

One more Q if I may...

Giga's Cloud OC. Has anyone tried it? I can only seem to change the CPU multi and memory multi with it. Can anyone else change bclk, pcie, etc with the Cloud OC tool? Either via web or Droid?

[stasio]

Z68X BIOS is updated on TT forum.
