Thank you so much bro! Worked after a few attemts, pin 1+6 was the key. You saved my weekend :)

Thank you, bro, it was just a random thought since the board was dead anyway, so why not short out the pin on Bios 1 and see if it picks up the second Bios, (from looking at manual I already knew BIOS 1 was corrupt) I was pretty surprised it actually worked. I'm guessing it is a common problem on most Gigabyte boards since yours is a Z77 and mine is B75M.

I have the same MOBO that was in a boot loop and tried this, but now its even worse. The boot loop now is shorter and whenever I try to power it on it shuts off in less than a second

Thanks so much! It seriously works. You short pins 1 and 6 together on the BIOS labeled M_BIOS (which is the main BIOS) while the computer is off and have a friend turn your computer on while you're doing it. When it beeps, stop shorting the pins and watch while it recovers.

Dude youre a legend. Thx for helping me fix my motherboard

If it was not clear to someone, I saw in another video that pin 4 should be bridged with pin 7 of the main bios with the board on, until a recovery message appears. Thanks a lot!

Wow you are a genius! I use the same motherboard and ran into this situation yesterday, and lucky enough to see your video right away, and it actually works :). thx man, now I gotta backup all the important stuff.

Awesome! You saved me from a lot of hassle. Because this chipset is old I would need to get a new motherboard as well as new ram and a new CPU.

Seen in other videos telling you to short the pins but none with the detail (LOOK FOR THE ARROW) good stuff thanks

Thanks for this! I have been trying to fix my aunt's computer with this board (I offered to build a new one, but no she wants old and busted back) and had tried literally everything else in the board manual. Figured I didn't have anything to lose by following your suggestion of shorting the main BIOS and boom, it's switched to the backup and booting properly.

Hi mr Tech guy charlie... when you short the backup bios,the pc is: a.turn off (with eletric plug in) b. turn off (with electric plug off) c..turn on which option that you do at that time?

I wouldn't have believed it myself if it didn't work but yep, I jammed a paper clip into my M Bios' 1st pin and it broke the loop and my PC is working beautifully again. Thank you Charlie.

Thanks, had this problem today, shorting pins 1 and 2 fixed it.

Thanks, I've heard that holding down On button and Reset button down together for 10 seconds would do the same ?

Thank you very much for this. Finally it worked, but I had to try it 6 times... Anyway, it´s working now. Thanks!!

Im able to get to the step where ive shorted the M_BIOS and its stopped rebooting. It stays on but i dont get any screen signal. What is the problem?

I found easier steps for anyone having corrupted bios on GA-B75M-D3H motherboard, make sure the computer is turned off and then press the power button and reset button at the same time for 10 seconds and the back up bios should kick in reinstalling main bios. for some reason after I installed update from windows 10 which is 1803 update as far as I can remember, it gave me a blue screen and then corrupted the bios.

Please try this first when your system stucks in boot-loop: Since its dualbios system you can force to kick the backup into place. You can restore the backup bios by flipping the power supply switch in the back to off position. Hold the power button at the front, and while holding flip power supply to on position. As the pc turns on, -in one-two seconds, flip the power supply to off again. Then turn on the power supply and the pc. Bios will load overwrite the current bios, with the backup, and after that, you will not have a boot loop.

It's 2023 and you are still saving lives man. Pin 1 and 6 took a few tries and it worked. I'm writing this as my backup is writing back my main bios. And this happened to me because I updated my bios from f14 to f15. Do not do it.

Guys i tried everything from resetting cmos, taking the cmos battery out, taking ram out, disconnecting HD's and sata cables and NOTHING worked. Until i came across something that worked for me and got the bios working again. Turn off power supply. Hold down the on button. Turn on power supply then after 2-3 seconds of the computer being on, turn off the power supply again. Then release the on button. Then turn the power supply back on. Now press the on button. This will reset your bios and it will overwrite the corrupt bios with the backup bios. You will see a loading screen as it overwrites the corrupt bios. This is what worked for me. Everything else failed.

I've seen a post from someone claiming that it's a known issue with Gigabyte's implementation of dual BIOS on boards prior to the 87 series, apparently especially so prior to the 77 series but also on the 77 series, and that Gigabyte had supposedly mostly fixed the issue with the 87 series onwards. It's the best explanation I've found to date for these issues, although I personally suspect that there may also be a partial contribution from failing main BIOS chips and/or changes introduced in later board BIOS updates.

By the way, this method does not destroy the main BIOS, it just forces the mobo to restore the main BIOS from the 2nd BIOS. Not sure why it wasn't automatically detecting that the main BIOS is corrupt after the update, maybe a bug. I learned my lesson though :D Never ever update the BIOS!!

This worked for me - When the computer powers on touch the 1 Pin & 2 pin on the BIOS_M chip . There should be a white arrow next to the first Pin 1 on the BIOS called M_BIOS or BIOS_M. The 1 Pin or Pin 1 will be at the edge of the BIOS chip. Take a screw driver and touch the Pin 1 and Pin 2 while the computer is powering on and wait until the computer shuts off before removing the screw driver. That should do the trick. It permanently fixed mine from ever resetting the BIOS and looping again.
