Switch to BIOS 2 and clear CMOS..Do the same for BIOS 3..Try again..If no joy, continue below..BIOS 2 and 3 may be older and will not not work unless updated.

Boot into BIOS 1..Then take note of the BIOS 1 version number that works..Go to the EVGA Downloads and get it..Then switch to BIOS 2 while in Windows and run the BIOS update..Then switch to BIOS 3 while in Windows and run the BIOS update.

You can get the latest BIOS 1.22 for your motherboard that has 'Improved XMP support' from the EVGA downloads..You can also get older BIOS versions there too..DO NOT flash your working BIOS!..Flash only BIOS 2 and 3 that do not work..You can switch to BIOS 2 and 3 while in Windows and flash them from the update .bat or in DOS.

You can always Contact EVGA Customer Service if you are unsure about anything.

You should just make one post for your problem, not two like this other one.

while PS is running ---> its safe to do, ground yourself (touch case at minimum first --- avoid Fans)
 
I always set RAM manually -- Voltage & timing ---> usually very stable that way
 
XMP can have issues on any MB

Happy to Help
 
give an update when you can

that is wild
 
BIOS - what is your Primary boot drive ?
 
Is it the RAID ?
 
Turn Off Windows Fast startup
 
Remember to turn Windows 10 Fast Startup OFF, when upgrading drivers, firmware or hardware


With Windows 10 there is a new “hybrid” startup mode that should cut down on boot up times.

It does this by putting the PC into hibernation instead of fully shutting down."

How-to Geek The Pros and Cons of Windows 10’s “Fast Startup” Mode

Hi PC is RAID,
Fast Start Up is off, as it's greyed out, (unable to turn on or off)
Up Time in Task Manager indicates that the PC is shutting down properly.
My Boot Priority is:
Windows Boot Manager
SSDs
CD Drive.

BIOS 1 works okay?..What version is it?
 
Did you update BIOS 2 and 3 and try them?..What version?
 
In the Windows Power Options -> Choose what the power buttons do -> Change settings that are currently unavailable, did you uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended) and then Save changes?..You have to go into 'Change settings that are currently unavailable' to turn on/off fast startup. 

BIOS 1 is version 1.22 the latest.
Before I flash BIOS 2 and 3, can you explain why they exist, thanks?
Fast Start Up unchecked.

Fast Start Up unchecked.

So you can have/try different overclock and other settings in BIOS 2 and 3..You should a keep a stock/working BIOS as BIOS 1 so that you can always switch back to the stock/working BIOS 1 should something go wrong in BIOS 2 or 3.

The triple BIOS switch is a welcome sight for a number of reasons; none more important than the ability to recover from a BIOS flash gone bad. All you have to do is throw the switch to another position and you will be able to boot the system again. Beyond the BIOS flashing, the ability to test out up to three different BIOS versions is something most enthusiasts will enjoy having.

So go ahead and flash BIOS 2 and 3 to the same working version 1.22 as BIOS 1, as described in the previous posts above. 

X.M.P. can cause issues as mentioned above, but we like to try getting things working 'as they should'..Sometimes X.M.P. (and other things) don't always work 'as they should' though and manually setting the RAM speed/timing/voltage in the BIOS to the RAM manufacturer's specs is necessary.

Well I better dive in and give it a do. Thanks.

When flashing a BIOS ---> Do Not Shut down ... you have to let it do its job
 
If your manual is not handy ---> download it from EVGA  --- it should give you the steps or the BIOS download area may have a readme file
 
EVGA Z77 FTW Manual
 
Visual Guide Z77 FTW
 
Follow X79 directions as found here (DO Not Attempt to flash the X79 BIOS to the Z77)( Flash Your Z77 BIOS)
if the other areas do Not have the steps listed for flash BIOS

from the link I gave you --> Is this what you tried to do ?
 

• First go into your BIOS and load defaults, save and exit
• Close all open programs.
• Go into the folder where you unzipped this package and double-click update.bat
• Press Y to start the flash process
• DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE FLASH PROCESS
• After the flashing is finished, the system will automatically shut down. Then power on again and go into BIOS to setup.
• NOTE: If flash box immediately closes after flash attempt, the flash may need to be run from a CMD prompt with administrator privileges or DOS version.

  
BIOS Installation

• Extract the contents of .zip file to USB flash drive (must be formatted as FAT32)
• Reboot the machine and go into the system BIOS
• From the BIOS, navigate to the Save & Exit tab and open "Select BIOS File."
• Select the .bin file you wish to flash.

Weird..I would think you should just be able to Boot from BIOS 1 into Windows..Then move the switch to BIOS 2 (or 3) then run the FPTWIN64.BAT for 64-bit Windows..All the instructions are on the 1.22 BIOS Download Page as well as in the ReadMe that's in the BIOS download package.
 
Thing is, they're saying (nothing about Win8 or 10):
• For Windows XP, Vista or 7 32Bit: Use FPTWIN32.BAT
• For Windows XP, Vista or 7 64Bit: Use FPTWIN64.BAT
• If in DOS Mode: Use FPTDOS.BAT
 
I wouldn't think so, but you may need to create a FAT32 bootable DOS USB flash drive using Rufus..Then copy all the extracted files and folders contained within the E699_122 folder onto the flash drive..Then boot from the flash drive (If there's a flash drive boot problem, you can disconnect all other drives so the USB flash drive is seen as the only possible boot device)..Then switch to BIOS 2 (or 3)..Then type in FPTDOS.BAT (as per the EVGA instructions) as the DOS command and press Enter to begin the flash routine..Might try FPTWIN64.BAT as the command if FPTDOS.BAT don't work.
 
You could first try putting the unzipped E699_122 folder on your desktop..Then press the Windows and R keys to open the 'Run' dialog and type in type cmd and press Enter..Then in the command prompt type in cd desktop and press Enter..Then type in cd E699_122 and press Enter..Then type in either FPTWIN64.BAT or FPTDOS.BAT and press Enter.
 
Something's got to give here ..Flashing in a DOS environment usually always works when other methods fail, so Rufus and a USB flash drive might end up being your new best friends.

Right-click and extract the E699_122 zip folder.
Put the extracted E699_122 folder on your desktop.
In Command Prompt (cmd) type in cd desktop and press Enter.
Then type in cd E699_122 and press Enter.
Then type in FPTWIN64.BAT and press Enter.

Then, this is what you should see in the attachment below, the same thing that I see, no 'Path cannot be found' at any time.

Then press 'Y' (capital letter) to program BIOS.

I also recommend you run the command prompt as an administrator
