It loaded the bios up date successfully as per the word doc, but then stopped as shown in the attached photo! The next process seems not to have run! What do I need to do please?
Press the power button, turn off and then on again.

When “FPT Operation Successful” appears, press the power button to shut down, unplug the USB drive, and then restart.

HI Barry I have done that and the PC restarts and opens up with APTIO Set UP Utlitly - where the BIOS versions are as per previously?

My system shows a Core Version of 5.13, Compliancy of UEFI 2.7; PI 1.6, and Project Version of GK1V25 0.01 x64.

Bradders,

Is it not allowing you to exit the utility and boot up into Windows?

Barry, just to clarify, this is a new memory card, so haven't installed windows yet. I thought i needed to upgrade the bios first. Should try inserting the windows boot disk recently created?

Thanks

Phil.

I'm glad you got it working. I was hoping barry would reply, but it looks like he hasn't been on in a couple of days.

How did you ultimately get out of the setup utility, and once you did and it started, was Secure Boot enabled? I was thinking that the update might not actually change the BIOS version, leaving it looking the same, like nothing had upgraded, but with Secure Boot now enabled.
