I flashed to that bios 10i and can't read the version or board info on cpuz.
But i am not prematurely blaming the bios.

edit: but my link is 16x on both cpuz spots, that info shows okay strange
But the bios info above it doesn't show.

also installed new nvidia video drivers though as well.

Now have no dmi pooling dos screen on start after the gigabyte screen either thats probably the new bios version.
I saw its updated properly using the tab key to 10i

Could be CPU-z errors, does GPU-z and everest show the same guys?

Yes you can flash back to a older BIOS if you like, please use Qflash though!

went back to 10f can read the mainboad tab on cpuz now.
Ram latencies back down from 80's to 60's

Gpuz is a crash BUT I did get newest nvidia drivers so that could be an issue with it.

Sounds like a CPU-z error then, or the BIOS guys changed something that CPU-z needs to know about.

Yeah I'm kinda leaning that way to.
Or its vid drivers.

Well I meant more for the CPU/Motherboard tabs side of things. GPU-z should show your PCIE lanes correctly, or does it have errors as well when using these BIOSes?

Can't get gpuz to run it wont open up.

gave error report.
when i had it running the lanes were fine here.

You using the latest GPU-z? What is the error? Could you use it with the older BIOS that you are not seeing issues on?

Re: ep45-UD3P rev1.1 - f10i BIOS problem

Aha!!
went to your link and downloaded the test Build it works fine!!!!
No error or crash.
They even mention nvidia stuff.
As you know i was suspicious of graphics drivers.
Thanks for helping.

Nice to hear! Must have been some issue they were aware of.

Anytime!

Thanks for posting back! So this solved the PCIE issue, and PCIE lanes are showing correct now in GPU-z, or just the GPU-z starting up issue with this BIOS F10i?
