I am currently trying to update the BIOS of my Intel DB75EN. I tried following ways:
The reason why i am doing all this is a new Graphics card, a GTX 970 which does not work. System gets stuck at the BIOS screen when the new card is plugged in, i cannot enter the BIOS or do something else. The card itself works (worked on another PC and at least shows the BIOS screen), so i assumed a BIOS update might help.
If someone has some hints for updating the BIOS or even make the new Graphics Card work, i would be very grateful.
kind regards,

Yea. This is what happens if you install the Management Engine firmware update without having already installed BIOS 46. Now you've created a real problem.
What you are going to have to do is attempt to install BIOS 46 using the BIOS Recovery process. The BIOS Recovery process is documented here: Intel Desktop Boards Recovery BIOS Update Instructions. Here are my additions to these instructions:
Hope this helps,

What BIOS are you currently running? What BIOS are you trying to install?
Also, have you run the Management Engine Firmware Update?
[Hint: don't do it until after you have BIOS 46 installed and running]
Thank you for the quick response.
I just checked, and it seems the BIOS update even worked! I cannot tell which BIOS i had, I tried to update to 86A and this is what INTEL Board ID tool tells me what I currently have.
OK, so the BIOS update worked, this is good news so far. Bad news is, that the GTX 970 still does not work
A BIOS identifier looks like this: ENB7510H.86A.0046.2013.0704.1354. Information is grouped using dots as the separators.
All together, the first, second and third groups tell us that this is the 46th release of the Standard BIOS for the DB75EN board. Then, the fourth, fifth and sixth groups tell us that this BIOS release was produced on July 4th, 2013 at 1:54 PM.
For more information regarding BIOS Identifiers, consult this page: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005858/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards.ht....
Ok, knowing all this, what BIOS are you currently running and that BIOS are you attempting to install?

I also ran the Management Engine Firmware Update, but i did it before updating the BIOS.
I also just asked at Nvidia if they have a clue, 1st level support could not help me here, forwarded to 2nd level.
The bios i currently have is:
ENB7510H.86a.0026.2012.0329.1439
the BIOS i tried to install is this: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/de/download/22943?product=59043
Please provide a capture of the BIOS installation screen with the error message on it.
No, I mean the BIOS installation screen, where it says "preparing..." and then "installing...". You will need to use cell phone to capture image of screen.

sorry, now i got it
it was quite hard to capture, the screen was only 2 sec like this and then it rebooted - hope you can see everything you need
I just tried something else as well, i found something in the following thread:
https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P00004907eeSAA/dh61cr-after-bios-update-fails-to-boot
So I removed the battery to reset the BIOS, resetting worked (got some warnings about clock, some power settings also changed).
I tried to run the same update again, but same result, at least i got a better picture now:

The biggest thank you on earth for you!
I followed the guide and your insturctions carefully, and then the scary part started. After removing the jumper, nothing on my screen, just the fan turning and the front LED blinking.
Fortunatelyi was smart enough, not to shut down the PC and just waited 10min. After 10min the Front LED was permanently on instead of blinking (what it did for at least 2min) - meaning something changed.
So i turned the PC off, placed that jumper and on again, then it was even scarier. It went off after 2sec and restarted, went off after 2sec and restarted again, showed a short BIOS screen and went off again.
After 5 or 6 quick reboots, i saw the windows logo and knew it was fine.
And guess what: Even the new graphics card works now! So everything achieved that i wanted!
No clue what I would have done without you and I thank the world for people like you who help strangers in such a competent way.
Thank you so much!
You are welcome. That's what I'm here for.

Hello. I have the same mainboard and bios version (ENB7510H.86a.0026.2012.0329.1439) and I have the same problem as you. I'm about to execute the whole process (recovery bios update). But I have some doubts. When you said:
1. "After 5 or 6 quick reboots, i saw the windows logo and knew it was fine."
These reboots were done automatically by your PC or did you manually do them?
2. "After 10min the Front LED was permanently on instead of blinking (what it did for at least 2min) - meaning something changed."
Which LED do you mean exactly? The power led (mine is red) or the other one is blue with the symbol of a light bulb.? (My pc case is Thermaltake commander ms-i vn 4000 series usb 3.0)
I would appreciate your answer.
