Hello
I will beginning updating my BIOS(maybe this help because my motherboard have a trouble with RAM x) nothing serious - just when my computer don't have a power, when I turn on, he long time, I see code 15(kernel log noticed than is error with reading RAM and when he reading RAM, I see then BIOS was restarted but nothing restart just date was old) and so...I just want checksum BIOS(for secure) but I see first 4 letters x)
my mother board is: gigabyte aours x670e master with BIOS version F9c(I will update for secure from F9,F10 etc to F42a - i know than this is test version but he have secure ubtate for CVE)
I have a Gigabyte Board, too but an older one. Aorus B450i. In my Case, I can see the Checksum of the BIOS File in the BIOS itself. When I start the Update Process, the File gets read and before the Process starts, I see the Checksum at the left Side.
ooooooo,I see thank you
soooo...because I see than fille is a little(0,4MB higher than on webstie, and I don't know than I need EFI folder,efiflash file and flash.nsh) and I just need .F9 file(for F9 vesrion)?
Maybe it is on Your Board different than for mine but I only need the actual File with the .[Version] Ending. I took a quick Look and downloaded the F42b Version.
What I normally do: I create a folder on my USB Stick and name it like the File Ending - in this Case F42b. And in this Folder, I put the File that looks like the one I marked above. Then, I start into BIOS and use there this ... how was it called ... Q-Flash Option or how it was called and then start the Update Process. It detects the USB Stick and I have to navigate to the BIOS File and then the BIOs detects it, check it and then I an start the Update.
Of Course, You should be cautious with BIOS Flashing. You could look for seeing an Update Process on YouTube for Your atcual Motherboard Model in Combination with ''BIOS Update'' to see it in the practical Advance.
You mean, You see that in Zorin? If yes, this is related to the GRUB Menu. When it is active, it can be that You have this Option there. Maybe, you have to enable it in the GRUB Config first.
For the BIOS it depends if there is a built-in Test Option available. That is a seperate Thing.
You mean when You do a BIOS Update? With my Board, the BIOS Settings get reset to default when the Update is done. So, You should check for that - especially because of Secure Boot.
In Zorin open the Terminal and type sudo nano /etc/default/grub and look for this:
Change true to false and then press ctrl+o to save, Enter to confirm and ctrl+x to exit. And then type sudo update-grub to make the Change affect. Don't forget that!
Here are the Lines 2 and 3 important. Switch that to:
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=20
The last one defines how long the GRUB Menu appears until it boots in the default OS. The 20 makes that it appears 20 Seconds. When You want a shorter or longer Time Frame, You can change that like You wish. Simply change to Number. Or You can set it to -1 and then it appears until You make an Input.
No, if Secure Boot is disabled or not shouldn't matter for the BIOS Update. Because You use Zorin, You should check after the BIOS Update if Secure Boot is enabled again if You should have it disabled before.
