BIOS update fail on Powerspec with Gigabyte B650M C V3 (rev. 1.0) mobo

Kire

This is the first PS computer I've purchased with a Gigabyte mobo, the last dozen or so have either been ASUS or MSI mainboards. I understand these are a customized BIOS, but I have never had any issue updating previously. However, the Gigabyte keeps giving me an OEM ID mismatch error. I've verified I am using the correct BIOS and even tried a couple of the older revisions as there have been 6 since the BIOS which is currently installed. (Including a security vulnerability patch, performance enhancements, and several AMD AGESA updates)

Anyone else had experience with this specific mobo and PS BIOS? Assuming it is the custom edited BIOS causing the ID mismatch, how can I get around this?

Thanks in advance.

It's blocked on our custom BIOS, but you can work around it.

1. Format a flash drive FAT32.
2. Copy the desire BIOS file and rename it to GIGABYTE.BIN
3. Insert the flash drive into the port on the rear IO labeled BIOS.
4. Turn the system off.
5. Press the Q-Flash button on the bottom of the board.

Wait 3-5 minutes for this process to complete, the LED will stop flashing or go solid.

Appreciate the reply @MikeW.

I was a bit concerned the mismatch would persist even during Q-Flash. Thank you for verifying the procedure.

Thanks again.
