May need BIOS update

The problem with this board and newer Haswell processor is that if you are not booting up, you may need to do a BIOS update which is a catch-22, since you cannot update BIOS without booting up. I had to RMA mine because my Intel CPU i7-4790 would not boot up. I didn't know the problem till it was RMA. They notified me that once they updated the BIOS to F8, everything has been working like a charm. I was happy but I was somewhat annoyed that there were no apologies for me wasting my time and costing $12.95 to ship it to them. That's the way these companies are now. I would never buy a Gigabyte board again. You would think that Gigabyte tech would be aware of this problem but they weren't.
