Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS
For anyone with startup boot loop or other issues, here's another official update guys. I sent in a report on a few users still seeming to have these issues over the past two weeks, so here is there testing results and full reply.
Please pass this info along to your fellow Gigabyte users, thanks!
So be careful with that reset button and it should also work properly now too! But I still say avoid if/when possible :D
And always keep backup BIOS up to date matching with the main BIOS.

Test 3 models of Z68 boards with the following BIOS:
1.) Z68X-UD7 with BIOS F10
2.) Z68XP-UD3 with BIOS F9g
3.) Z68AP-DS3 with BIOS FB
Our test results:
1.) Press CTRL + ALT + DEL keys when during boot up or in DOS mode >> Cannot see “continuous reboot loop”, nor “Waiting for ME ready”, nor “system overclocking failure” message. The system just reboot fine.
2.) Press the Reset button
A.) Press the button quickly and release immediately >> Cannot see any issue.
B.) Press the reset button for one second or so (This is not normal behavior.) >> System will shut down, and then power on by itself. Then the “Waiting for ME ready” message appears and then system will shut down and power on by itself again. Sometimes, it will show “System overclock failure” message.
Moreover…
According our testing before,
the issue of “continuous reboot loop” can be fixed by flashing the Backup BIOS with the same version as the main BIOS (latest one).
We Flash the Backup BIOS with the same BIOS version for the main BIOS version before test.
