I switched on my computer this morning and I have this message greeting me and it's still ongoing;
BIOS is updating. Do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system bootup failure.
The Q-Code is 90
So far it's over an hour and still waiting. My BIOS was 0603 and I haven't flashed or download the latest version. The manual doesn't mention this. My specs are:
Rampage V Extreme i7 5930K Corsair Hydro H110 Corsair Obsidian 750D Samsung ssd 840 EVO 1TB Seagate Barracuda 2TB 4X4GB Corsair Platinum Dominator 2666 Corsair AX1200i Lite-On 124-14 ROG Pheobus soundcard Gigabyte GTX GeForce 670 Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
The update procedue should only occur after a UEFI update is made. If it ocurs any other time, it means the system is unstable. Cuases of that would be an overly aggressive overclock or incorrect settings.
No good. After that, went into F1 and made sure it's the default and the 'BIOS is updating...' message is showing again and no percentage counter is showing.
Success! I hope, I opened my case and noticed the pled is out of the system connector broken. I put them properly. However the same message again.
I then cleared CMOS and then switch to BIOS chip 2 and boot up. The same message is there and then shut down. Press the CMOS again and switch back to BIOS chip 1 and booted up fine.
It was 0603 and then I just flashed it to 0802. The same message appeared again after flashing and instead of being stuck on that message, it rebooted after a few seconds and then booted up fine which I am now typing on my PC instead of on my phone.
I'm going to shut down and see if the same message is back again.
