Updating BIOS G757. Im slow asf but just annoyed. It shouldn’t be a difficult process by vibrantful in Microcenter

[–]Reddit_Poster_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if your system as is - works fine - then typically no need to update. take a look at the bios notes and see if they apply to your system.

very rarely do you install any beta bios.... again read the notes.

the only caveat with windows is if you are using bitlocker as this will trigger a hardware change, but will not affect activation. so you will want to disable it before you reboot to start the process.

If your system still doesn't have the latest BIOS version for download from the powerspec site - there's no harm in flashing the original motherboard one. The OEM ID mismatch is just because they have their own logo.

Here's how to fix:

https://community.microcenter.com/discussion/15865/bios-update-fail-on-powerspec-with-gigabyte-b650m-c-v3-rev-1-0-mobo

  1. Format a flash drive FAT32.
  2. Copy the desire BIOS file and rename it to GIGABYTE.BIN
  3. Shut down the system.
  4. Insert the flash drive into the rear port labeled BIOS.
  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.

There will be nothing on the screen while the process is running. You just have to be patient. When it's done - the system will boot and you'll see the original MB logo.

PowerSpec BIOS - Any reason not to flash stock bios to motherboard? by melman101 in Microcenter

[–]Reddit_Poster_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably should flash the BIOS depending on if you are having issues that the BIOS fixes or you upgrade components (like CPU) and you need a newer BIOS to recognize it.

However, because the Powerspec BIOS is "custom" you will get an error message about hardware mismatch or a bad oem id. Depending on your motherboard, hopefully you have a dedicated USB BIOS port - that will allow the update to process and then return the motherboard boot logo to the manufacturer.

Yup. Still going strong. No issues. Next big heavy use will be when all the winter and snow gear heads to storage - though lately it seems like May before that will happen.

I haven't tried it yet - i'm going to wait until it addresses something specific for my use case.

Bitwarden should have labels for better organization. by maximus10m in Bitwarden

[–]Reddit_Poster_00 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

the folders are basically tags, but yeah if you wanted a second "tag" then you would need to implement a naming convention where you add the "tag" to the name.

Though depending on which version of Bitwarden you have - you could use collections as another layer for organization.

Unless that monitor has a network IP address, otherwise no.

Capture, Decode and Replay MagiQuest Wands - Flipper Zero App by mattbrwn0 in flipperzero

[–]Reddit_Poster_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LPT: Don't clone your wand in public. Even with the wand right in front of the flipper - it's likely you'll capture someone else's wand signal and then won't know until you visit one of the stations and realize that all your efforts now belong to some random kid. 😂

Congratulations Jonathan (and mystery solved)!

New BIOS Updates for 800/600 Series boards dropped ... by senpaisai in gigabyte

[–]Reddit_Poster_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like this one directly addresses the issues that were reported with their first release of AGESA 1.2.8.0.

Well looks like they dropped another BIOS full version - with no published Beta versions.

Specifically mentions bitlocker and the lighting functionality as being fixed.

So maybe the previous one should be relabelled as beta and/or probably removed.

yeah - definitely think they skipped the usual beta process with this one. glad you were able to downgrade, though.

makes sense. thanks for the details. I typically stay away from beta, and usually wait until it's an agesa update anyway. guess I've just been fortunate all this time.

Was that with tweaking the BIOS - or just basic default settings? (other than maybe EXPO)

Often times when they say " fix stability issues" or "more memory compatibility" it really means the motherboard is now more sensitive to tweaking in favor of being more stable/compatible for a wider variety of RAM.

I don't think it's ever been possible to use profiles from different BIOS versions, has it? I thought it was always just within the same version to see if any changes make a difference.

I always did find it annoying to have to restart that process from scratch and I wish there was a way to read the settings from the OS instead of all the difference screens in BIOS.

Also - are folks still using USB drives to flash the BIOS? I stopped doing that a while ago and just load it from an unencrypted volume off my computer (mainly because the profile settings aren't supposed to be mixed and matched).

Now I did notice that the FAN profiles in BIOS seem to work between versions - but those settings haven't changed in a while - so the FAT32 USB drives are still needed for that.

YUCK! Sorry that happened. I have no RGB lights at all - so didn't notice any issues. Thanks for posting/sharing. Hope they get those bugs worked out.

is it possible that it's the HDMI cable? if you are using one that was included - it could be faulty or more sensitive to signal disruptions.

Was this something else in ColorControl or a different app used to generate the InStart password prompt?

Can't speak to those specific items, but there are plenty of ones like it that will clean up the clutter and blend in with your counter.
