I just updated my BIOS on a 6yo motherboard because I upgraded the processor. Went up about 15 updates that had to be done one by one and took all day. I only broke it once because there are no guides or manuals on how to setup the USB drive from one version update to another. Had to figure out how to load a recovery image from another guide for another MB that they did create a guide for. Darn you Gygabyte for your poor documentation.
As much as it doesn’t stop me using their products, Gigabyte documentation is truly horrendous - I got a motherboard that wasn’t working and had to email the manufacturer asking what the beep code meant. Turned out it needed a firmware update to support the CPU which they were very helpful in sorting out, but I really feel like beep codes should be listed in the manual.
