What is revision of your motherboard?

1.4

Try to flash BIOS from 1.5 revision - version FA

[chris89]

I tested it but it said the Flash Type/ Size is MXIC 25L8005/8006 1M & The 88GMD2H5.FA Rev 1.5 BIOS is 2M...

I guess the BIOS is too large to flash to rev 1.4 ... I guess might have to remove a microcode & add fx8100 microcode i guess?

It does have DUAL-BIOS though if that's helpful for easy recovery?

[DeathBringer]

Adding microcode doesn't add support for new CPU.
Original F8 BIOS has only 170.43K free space, but new modules in FA BIOS has 809.94K size.
BTW: microcode has only 14K size.

I downloaded BIOS F8 currently installed & BIOS Version FA...

It wouldn't flash because it said size is wrong.

F8 bios 1024KB
FA bios 2048KB

I need BIOS chip replacement to flash FA BIOS.

[chris89]

What does that mean? The BIOS Chips are soldered to the PCB & there are TWO bios chips Gigabyte Dual BIOS

[DeathBringer]

You need to unsolder them, buy new chips, write them by hardware programmer and solder them in place of the previous ones.
