    Mr.Serg008

    RE: Modded BIOS "GA-H270M-DS3H_F8b_Gig21_.rar" for:
    Gigabyte motherboard GA-H270M-DS3H, Rev 1.0, BIOS ver. F7
    in UEFI/GPT mode to run Win7 Pro 64bit.

    Again, I note that the growth of my "wonk" has not kept apace of the burgeoning technology that most around here are so comfortable with. Thus, most of what goes on here is over my head. Hence, My Pickle.

    To start, as my DOS chops rusted up about 25years ago, I opened the GA-H270M-DS3H F8b_Gig21_.rar file with 7zip instead of wrestling with Command Line unrar. I have no reason to believe that this did not render the three files faithfully.

    However, when I endeavored to take advantage of Gigabyte's handy "Quick BIOS" re-flashing utility, I was repeatedly rebuffed with the message that the modded BIOS wasn't a usable image or some such; basic rejection.

    So I wonder, is this result to be expected? And should I expect the same from using their other handy Windows flashing utililty, @bios

    If not, should I be worried that a conventional DOS load of the modded BIOS will likely go awry? I'd hate to get in deeper than my modest skills could bail me out of.

    I should appreciate any words of wisdom you or the forum could offer.

    Thanks, very.

    PS: How does one "check your SLIC"?

    So, I surmise that the Gigabyte flash op cannot be done via Factory avenues, rather than like some other instances of better luck on the thread.

    Figures. Reckon I'll give ol' DOS a spin, then (shades of the 8088... ironic that at this point in the tech arc, it still takes an old fashioned monkey wrench to make things work...).

    However, since it seems I will have to go to summer school to usefully interpret the outputs of RWEverything, I wonder if there might be an Idiot's Guide (call it another monkey wrench) to post-flash SLIC condition in its most essential terms, before I DAZ load in vain..

    In any case, I thank you for your invaluable assistance and infinite patience in dealing with those of us whose talents lie in different directions.

    PS: I presume that the ver. of the efiflash utility that came with the mod BIOS is sufficiently "older" to do the job.

    PPS: I like your galactic Rorshach Test id pic.

    Yes. MOD3, and then, if 3 does not work, try MOD4
