Possible Bios Virus

[Al101]

Hi Guys.

I have Fresh new win 10 install twice & got the same thing happen. After I connect online & after 30 min it loses the right side icons of the taskbar.

The left side icon taskbar you can see & preview, if you hover over them. But can’t open

 any pages.

I think the problem is in the Bios. Possible Virus.

I would like to try updating my bios to the latest Version.

Also like to hear what you guys recommend.

PC. Intel Core i5-2500 CPU @ 3.30Ghz

Mother board: Intel DH67BL

Regards Al

I have attached the final BIOS for the DH67BL Desktop Board. It is important that you install it using the BIOS Recovery process.

To help you better, here are my step-by-step instructions for BIOS Recovery:

1. NOTE: Read these instructions completely before starting. Follow all instructions EXACTLY.
2. On some other Windows-based PC, download the .BIO file for the BIOS release you wish to install.
3. Insert a 32GB or smaller (the smaller the better) USB 2.0 flash drive into the PC. Do not use USB 3.0 flash drives (most are not compatible). It is also better (though not required) to use a flash drive that has an access LED that you can watch.
4. Format this USB flash drive using the Windows Format app. Specify to install the FAT32 file system (Important: NOT vFAT, NOT exFAT; FAT32 only). You must also specify that the Quick Format option be Disabled (unchecked).
5. NOTE: If FAT32 is not offered as a choice by the Format app, your flash drive is too big; use another.
6. Copy the .BIO file into the root folder of this USB flash drive. This should be the only .BIO file in the root folder of the USB flash drive.
7. Properly eject the USB flash drive. Do not just yank it out. Do this from File Explorer or using the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media System Tray applet.
8. Power off the Desktop Board system.
9. Remove the yellow BIOS Configuration jumper from the board. It will be the only yellow jumper; the rest will usually be black.
10. Plug the USB flash drive into one of the black USB 2.0 ports on the back panel of the board. Avoid using blue USB 3.0 or Yellow USB 2.0/3.0 charging ports. Also avoid using front panel USB ports.
11. Power on the system.
12. The BIOS Recovery process should start automatically. You should see a progress report on your main monitor.
13. NOTE: If you do not see a progress report displayed on a monitor, do not power off the system for at least 15 minutes. While it is rare, it is possible for the process to proceed without an onscreen display; you must give it ample time to complete, just in case.
14. When the BIOS Recovery process is complete, you will be asked to power off the system. Do so then.
15. Restore the yellow BIOS Configuration jumper to the pins it was on previously. This should be across pins 1 and 2 of this (three pin) header.
16. Remove the USB flash drive from the back panel of the board.
17. Power on the board.
18. Immediately begin pressing the F2 key, over and over (approx. once per second) until you see a BIOS Setup (or Visual BIOS) screen displayed.
19. Verify, using the BIOS version string, that the BIOS installed properly. Stop if it isn't.
20. Press the F9 key (followed by the Y key) to reset of the BIOS configuration.
21. Press the F10 key (followed by the Y key) to save the BIOS Configuration and exit BIOS Setup.
22. Once screen is cleared (goes black), begin pressing the F2 key, over and over, until you see the BIOS Setup screen displayed.
23. Make any changes to the BIOS configuration that you desire (for example, disabling NUMLOCK) or that you require (for example, setting Boot Order, enabling UEFI, etc.).
24. Press the F10 key (followed by the Y key) to save the BIOS Configuration and exit BIOS Setup.
25. Test.

Here are some additional thoughts:

• If BIOS Recovery will not start, try using a different USB port. You can try using the blue USB 3.0 or yellow USB 2.0/3.0 ports as well if no other choices exist. You can also try using front panel USB ports.
• If switching USB ports didn't work, try using a different USB flash drive. Remember that all USB flash drives must be reformatted at least once using the process described in Step 4 above.
• As always, it is helpful to use a USB flash drive that has an access LED so that you can visually see if it is being accessed.
• If you are seeing USB flash drive being accessed but BIOS Recovery does not start, a common cause is compatibility with the memory present. The BIOS Recovery engine, as it is with USB 3.0 flash drives, can be very picky with regards to memory compatibility. Try removing all but one DIMM/SODIMM.
• For more information on the BIOS Recovery process, consult Intel Desktop Boards Recovery BIOS Update Instructions.

Hope this helps,

I like to thank you for all that info. it sounds good.

I will take me a few days, because I’m in hospital.

But I will give some feedback on how I went.

Before you start, let us know what version of the BIOS you currently have installed. We may have to do some extra steps if the BIOS is very old...

Take your time recovering,

I did check the Bios before starting.

It had Bios Version – BLH 6710H. 86A.063.2018.1023.1559

As far as I know, it is the latest - BLO.163

I have tried all the USB ports, Back, Front, USB 2 & 3. I waited 20 min each just in case.

I also tried burning Bios file to CD, still black screen.

Are you sure that the flash drive is USB 2.0 and not USB 3.0?

Are you sure you remembered to format the flash drive with Quick Format Disabled?

You used another Windows-based PC to prepare the flash drive?

I can only suggest that you go through the process again, from scratch. The display should not remain empty.

Hi, im sort of in the same place as the user with the issue, i have a i5 2310 and was updating to i7 3770 but it wouldnt post, so i went back to the i5 (sandy bridge), it post normally and checked the bios, its was super old so i downloaded the 0163 bios and update via f7 like you normally do, it went all the process well but when it rebooted automatically nothing on screen, i left it alone for half hour or so, cos i didnt want to turn it off yet, anyway, it never displayed anything on screen.
I searched for this kind of issue and saw your post, followed the steps but nothing happened, i even got a usb with activity led and tryed every usb on the pc with no success. Anything else you would recommend? cos i know the motherboard works, is just this bios flash that doesnt work. Tried also different rams sticks (they all worked with the previous bios). It does not make any sound or beep, just black screen. I try with multiple sticks or just one on all four slots and nothing, the LED on the usb stick does not blink at all. 

Thanks for your time!
