DH67CL: BIOS update

[NVari]

As mentioned earlier, by other people, upgrading from 125 and earlier to 151 and later causes problems... About which I did not know.

I updated to the new version, and got a black screen, tried using the programmer to restore my old BIOS version from the dump, but every time I turn on the computer, it is replaced with a new version...

How can I revive the motherboard now?

The latest bios is 0163.

Here is the latest bios:

And, here are instructions for the recovery method:

And, if I were you, I would leave the "programmer" alone, unless you really want to brick your board.

I tried using recovery, but still a black screen, nothing happened. For the test, I started the computer without RAM, the speaker beeps

"BIOS version 0151 includes support for 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors. Due to structural changes in this BIOS version, once a board has been converted to this version or later, it will no longer be possible to downgrade the BIOS to version 0132 or earlier. Attempting a BIOS downgrade to a previous version may fail – the board BIOS will remain at its current version."

So, I need to somehow run the recovery, or get a dump with version 0132 and above

[AlHill]

You are not going to get a dump of any bios file. And, why do you need to downgrade? The latest bios supports both 2nd and 3rd gen processors.

Since you are messing with a programmer and are not able to install the latest bios, I can only assume you have trashed something.

This is a discontinued, and un-supported board.

Good luck.

I used the programmer after I couldn't use the recovery, so I don't think I damaged anything...Apparently, BIOS is trying to install a new version by overwriting the data from my dump

Dear AlHill,

Just seeing this post and my Intel DH67CL running Win10 20H2 (& previously 2004) has been blue screening almost every time it is on for at least an hour.  It isn't getting overheated as it's in a skeleton, exposed chassis.  Of course, the link you posted was removed and I was wondering if there was another way to get the final BIOS for this system board.  Thanks loads!

P. S.  My CPU is a i7-2600K, with 8 GB RAM and an Intel SSD.

Thank you so much! I take it that this is newer than the one I posted and is for 2nd gen CPUs? Much appreciated.

[n_scott_pearson]

This is the latest (last) BIOS release and yes, it supports both 2nd and 3rd gen processors.

Hi again Scott!  Sorry I haven't replied sooner.

Downloaded your BIOS update but after extracting, it was a .pdf and a .bio file, which I'm not sure what to do with.

How do I go about upgrading my Intel motherboard BIOS with what you sent back in March?

Thanks again *very* much!

That depends upon what BIOS you currently have installed. Your first post would seem to indicate that you have BIOS 163, dated 10/23/18. This is the latest.

My question is, what exactly do I do with the .bio file?  Don't know what program to use to run/install it.

Thanx again!

[n_scott_pearson]

The answer is it depends on what BIOS you are running. Tell me what BIOS version you are currently running on.

[AlHill]

Yes, the computer needs memory to stop the three beeps.

Did you try recovery with 0163? You did not mention that.

What bios do you currently have installed?

I had version 0125 installed, I tried to install version 151 and I guess it made some changes. I before tried to recover by version 0132 and 0151, did not work, now I will try to use version 163 for recovery...
