14 DAY TRIAL // Intel has made available a new BIOS package developed for its DQ87PG desktop board, namely version 0147, which improves the safety of specific UEFI variables as highlighted in the Security Advisory (00038).
In addition to that, the newly-outed update also resolves a problem encountered by the front panel power LED that didn’t work in certain situations.
As for installing this BIOS version, you should know that this fresh release consists of 4 downloadable files: one recovery package (PG0147.BIO), one instant flash DOS-based utility (PGQ8710H.86A.0147.BI.ZIP), and two Express update files (PGQ8710H.86A.0147.EB.EXE and PGQ8710H.86A.0147.EB.WINPE64.EXE).
In order to clarify all aspects, while the PGQ8710H.86A.0147.BI.ZIP archive installs the new BIOS regardless of any operating system, the two Express files can update the BIOS only if the board is running under one of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 platforms.
When it comes to the PG0147.BIO file, this package can be used for an F7 BIOS Update method and, in addition to that, it can also be used to recover the BIOS from an unusable state.
That being said, download Intel DQ87PG Desktop Board BIOS 0147, take into account all above-described aspects, apply the update, and enjoy your newly improved motherboard.
