To recover the BIOS on a Gigabyte GA-N650SLI-DS4L motherboard, you can use the DualBIOS recovery feature. This feature allows you to recover the BIOS using a backup BIOS chip.

Here are the steps to recover the BIOS:

Download the latest BIOS file for your motherboard from the Gigabyte website.
Create a bootable USB flash drive using the downloaded BIOS file and a utility like Rufus.
Turn off your computer and unplug it from the power source.
Locate the DualBIOS switch on the motherboard, it is usually near the BIOS chip.
Move the switch to the "Recovery" position.
Plug the bootable USB flash drive into a USB port on the motherboard.
Turn on the computer and press the appropriate key to enter the BIOS setup (usually "Delete" or "F2").
Navigate to the "Advanced BIOS Features" menu and select the "DualBIOS" option.
Select the option to recover the BIOS using the backup BIOS chip.
Follow the prompts to complete the recovery process.

Note that these steps may vary slightly depending on the version of BIOS your motherboard is running and the version of the BIOS you are recovering. It is recommended to check the manual or the website of the manufacturer for more specific instructions.
