You need to update the Intel VMD driver to version 19.5 or higher before installing the 13th Gen processors. This step should be done on the Gigabyte BIOS download page. It’s important to follow this to avoid crashes with the new CPU. After flashing the BIOS, you’ll still need to install the updated drivers for the new chipset.

Since your computer is running, simply reboot the BIOS. The instructions for your particular motherboard are usually available online.

It doesn’t appear on the motherboard or the website. When you open the Intel VMD driver, it automatically downloads the file—do you need to adjust any settings in the BIOS?

On your device, the update is suggested by the BIOS settings. The phrase refers to the manual on the motherboard.

I believed we were essentially discussing the same idea. What changed was the use of the term "driver."

You requested changes to the BIOS, not a driver installation, as clarified in the original request.

Yeah, I was wondering if the bios and the driver were the same thing.
