When trying to uninstall a GIGABYTE piece of software, I selected "Remove all utilities", and I thought it removed all of that application's utilities, which it should have done. But then it uninstalled ALL GIGABYTE software including the BIOS. How do I restore it systematically without changing a chip or anything?
I'm extremely worried I may have bricked my system, as I heard the BIOS is essential. Please help ASAP.
The BIOS isn't software. It is firmware, written to an EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read only memory). It cannot be installed, or uninstalled. It can only be updated, by specialized utilities.
Does the PC boot, or not?
David,
I agree with bobkn. You did not uninstall your Bios.

Welcome to TenForums.
It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials
You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums

Probaly find he is referring to this,
@BIOS (gigabyte.com)
which for the OP is not the BIOS but just a Windows BIOS update utility.
