I can't get it on anything I try, the site works fine here.

I'd be guessing man-in-the-middle attacks, if it is a hack attempt.

But if it's just a service configuration issue, they might be using
caching that serves different parts of the world from different
equipment.

Though that doesn't explain why one browser fails for you and another
succeeds.

To me, the error message translates as:  You're trying to use a
different (newer?) certificate that is pretending to be the prior one
(because the serial number is the same).  But the browser knows there's
a conflict and rejects it.

Every different certificate should have a different serial number, it's
just the same as with hardware and serial numbers.

The "import" bit puzzles me.  If you're just trying to connect, and
*you're* not trying to import a certificate (adding another to your
collection), why it says that.

I'd try:

Flushing cache, and try again.  Perhaps a mangled certificate is stuck
somewhere, and that's why the browser considers them different.

Try accessing the page via another route.  If I go to
<https://www.gigabyte.com/> and click the service/support link in the
top of the page, I end up at <https://www.gigabyte.com/Support>, which
is different from <https://esupport.gigabyte.com/>

Is the original poster able to get to where they need to be on the
website through a different set of steps?
