Perfect video for what I needed. I have that exact board and learning tech can be overwhelming sometimes since I grew up poor and never had the luxury. Thanks for this upload & getting straight into it
Just out of curiosity before I update my BIOS. Is it possible to update the bios without a flash drive? Can I use my m2 ssd and update the BIOS from it or do I need a flash drive?
Just updated my bios. My motherboard is a Gigabyte B650M C V2-Y1. Thanks! This was a simple tutorial. I have a new computer because the next day some component was causing the psu to power cycle. Imma try and update this one's bios again if it needs updating.
I have the same motherboard however I have got a problem where the pc won’t boot and I have try everything, but not the bios and my pc doesn’t give a screen, so how do I update bios without screen with this motherboard? I haven’t any issues with the pc and this error was random.

(Never knew I had to update it) you mentioned that in order to update to the most current driver you might have to install a previous one. But how do I know? Am I supposed to be looking for a specific instruction on the details? What am I looking for to know if I have to update it to what driver?????
i have the B450-f mobo and the bios version is 1003. How do i know if i can update it straight to the most recent one, or do i need to update to some older version first? EDIT: updating to the newest one had no issue.

Great video, In your case you didn't update the bios from its "older" version before the recent one as you have 5406 as current version right? I've checked the support site for my motherboard and found some "older" versions to update before the newest one. I'm just thinking if I can skipped those and jump to the latest one?
Thanks for the video! It looks really helpful but the motherboard potentially getting fried makes me worried. It's not that I don't have a stable power supply but that my computer keeps freezing out every half an hour give or take, regardless of what I'm doing atm, and it only unfreezes when I shut the whole thing off (which is the exact reason why I want to try updating my BIOS). So if that were to happen during a BIOS-update, which is very much plausible, that would mean that my motherboard is goner, wouldn't it?
@@Maraksot78will it say “recommend for vital update to mitigate the potential security vulnerabilities” or will it say something else, I’m very new to this and they all kind of look important. Though the text I posted above looks like something I should down load first?

Is it absolutely necessary to enter the BIOS to do this? The instructions on the Dell website says that I can install it straight from the support website while logged in and run it from there (as long as BitLocker is disabled first). And another thing, do some laptops support automatic BIOS updates? I'm confused because as at the time of making this comment (May 2024), my BIOS version (1.25.0) is up to date. I bought my Dell Inspiron in Feb 2018 (back when the BIOS versions available started from 1.7.0). I have not personally made any updates to my BIOS. I'm only just learning about it now. But there's a big jump between versions 1.7.0 and 1.25.0. This means that the versions potentially updated 18 times (according to the list of older versions) without my knowledge? I bought my laptop with Windows 10, and haven't yet upgraded to Windows 11 (although I am eligible for a free upgrade), so it can't be due to upgrading the OS....
This was created over 2 years, many new systems you dont have to go through all these problems... the better mobo and newer CPU you purchase the much easier it can be to update bios via internet, etc correct, disable vpn, blockers, etc both newer laptops and pc's sometimes can be updated automatically, or via downloads basically once a month your pc will check for any updates available, at 2am they will download and install and when you wake up your pc will be off, or not as you left it the night before. i would upgrade to win 11 right now, we have less than 1 year remaining for windows 10 and it will no longer be supported, means no protection.. when you upgrade to windows 11, you have like 10 days to roll back to wind 10 if you do not like win 11 the more expensive laptop/PC the much easier this is
@Kevin-vh6nn Ok! So it must be included in the system updates. That makes sense. I bit the bullet and upgraded to Win11 a couple months ago. I quite like it!

I have a question.. i havent update bios for a long time should i download all the updates and install them one by one or download the last one and im done?
possibly... but I would try updating or maybe even rolling your Ethernet driver back. I actually recently had the Ethernet port on my motherboard keep dropping it's connection and I first checked if there was a newer version of the driver, but I had the most recent one, so I rolled my driver back to a slightly older one and so far, no more dropped connections... knock on wood.
Hello i have the same motherboard as you in the video and updated to the most recent bios version. It seemed to go fine but now my pc is on a loop posting into safe mode on the american megatrends screen. Is my motherboard bricked? How do i fix this? Panicking a little never done updated bios before but seeing you had the same board i figured it should be straight forward
Sweet. I have the same motherboard you have. It would be nice to see what settings you use being that I really don't tamper with my bios. Just to see why you set what you set.
I don't usually mess with too many settings myself. The most I usually do is enable XMP (or in this case being an AMD board, DOCP) and I'll often set a custom CPU fan curve so the system will run nice and quiet unless it's under load then the fans will ramp up to keep things nice and cool. I'll usually set the fan speed to around 50% until the CPU hits 60c at which point I increase the fans to 60% and then at 70c 70% and at 80c 100%. I don't like the fans ramping up unless the temps start getting high.
great breakdown in this video thank you, i have a quick question..im in this exact process of updating my motherboards bios. and theres like 5 versions i need to update until i get to the most recent bios version. So do i have to do this one by one by putting them on the flash drive and juss updating them one at a time untill i get to the most recent version? I know this may be a stupid question but bare with me. Im a complete noob with this stuff...thanks in advance :)
You're probably fine to just update to the most recent BIOS version. I haven't had to do incremental updates in a very long time. The last time I had to update to one BIOS version before being able to update to the next one was over 10 years ago. I'm not totally sure if incremental updates like that are even a thing anymore, but because they were a thing in the past I feel it's important to make people aware of it. That being said when I've done BIOS updates in recent years and have had a lot of revisions between the BIOS on my board and the newest ones, I haven't seen anything in the revision descriptions saying I needed to update to a specific version before being able to go to a newer version. I've been able to just update to the most recent version and things have been good.
i have the same motherboard but still with bios for ryzen 2000 (currently r7 2700x) -0225- , should i install first -5861- for ryzen 5000 or can i immediately -6042- ? Do I need to install an even older version on the way?
@@Dimchiii In my case, I could immediately install the latest BIOS and run the R5 5600, but out of caution, I installed the first one in which the new AGESA was introduced, and only with the new processor did it update to the last released update, but as I wrote, you can immediately install the latest BIOS, only MSI boards have a procedure for installing a new BIOS, the order of even several updates must be maintained, I've already done it.
My computer is making a weird noise and now its on fire. Can i uninstall the update before the house burns down. This is just a joke but thank you for the video. Im planning on upgrading my cpu and this video helped including the other one about changing the cpu. Thank you
I have updated my bios to new one and it downloaded pc went of and on a few time and now I have a black screen but my motherboard is flashed green, what does this mean do I have clear my cmos?
For what reason were you updating your BIOS, may I ask? And what CPU do you have? If you have an older AMD Ryzen CPU like a Ryzen 1000 or 2000 series and you updated to the most current BIOS that will make your motherboard only support Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series CPU's. There's only so much space on the BIOS chip to store the data needed to support different CPU's, so when you update to the most recent BIOS that adds Ryzen 3000 and 5000 support it has to overwrite the data for Ryzen 1000 and 2000 and those CPU's will then no longer be recognized. Depending on your motherboard you'll then end up with either a message saying your CPU isn't recognized or just a black screen. Since you're saying you have a black screen after updating I'm wondering if you have a Ryzen 7 2700X CPU or something and you updated to the most recent BIOS and now your motherboard doesn't recognize your CPU? Another thought... I've had a weird thing with my PC recently where when I've booted into BIOS to adjust my RAM speed and restart my computer the screen stays black. I've had to unplug my display port cable from my monitor and then plug it back in, and then the signal finally comes back. Not sure why it did that, but at least it was a simple fix. As for fixing the problem I talked about first, if you currently have a Ryzen 1000 or 2000 CPU; you'll need to buy a Ryzen 3000 or 5000 CPU and swap it into your motherboard in order to get your PC up and running again.
If your computer is running just fine there's no need to update your BIOS. I made this video for people that know they want/need to update their BIOS but don't know how to do it. I have an older video where I talk about the reasons you'd need/want to update as well as how to do it. The most viewed segment of that video is the update process walk-thru so I figured it was worth making a new, updated video simply showing that. The reason I updated this board is because I'm building a PC using that older X470 AMD motherboard and wanting to slot a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU into it but because that motherboard is older it won't work with that CPU unless I update the BIOS.
If you have the same board, Asus Strix X470-f Gaming, the BIOS update I did for this video added SAM and I of course turned it on and have been using it. 😎👍🏼
Thank you for the beginners guide to update Bios:=). I have the Rog Strix x470-F gaming motherboard and the Biosversion is 4011, havent updated since i bought it im sorry to say. I have now bought an Ryxen 9 5900 cpu and a 3080 graphic. The question is; do i need to update every bios from 4011 to the newest today just to make the new ryzen work on my motherboard? I have now a Ryzen 7 2700X.
What about it saying "Important Notice!! Please backup your bitlocker recovery key and suspend bitlocker encryption in the OS before updating your bios"?

my brother please help i have a old version of bios 2020 and i didnt update the bios and there is a new version but im scared if i lose the Accounts of my microsoft pack ( word powerpoint ) should i do it or no because they will go away ??
I don't know if this is as much of a thing nowadays as it was in the past. In the old days you would sometimes need to update to a certain BIOS version before you could update to a more recent one if there had been a lot of BIOS updates for your motherboard. On all the more modern stuff though I haven't seen this, so I don't know for sure if it's still something we need to worry about or not. I mentioned it in the video because I've had to do it in the past, but at the same time, it has been a long time since I last had to do that.
Hey brother, I'm not understanding exactly the step where I might be required to go backwards in bios version. I have the exact file you've shown here ver. 6042, myPC sees it, but it says "file is not a UEFI bios file" for some reason. Perhaps because I'm on an oooold version already? To my knowledge, it has never been updated. Secondly, I downloaded the file just to my hard drive, as I didn't understand why I would need a thumb drive. I'm using the exact same mobo as you, the x470-F gaming and am trying to see if updating the bios will allow me to use a Ryzen 7 5800x3D CPU, as it currently wont boot with it installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm on the verge of just giving up and buying a newer motherboard, which is frustrating because the entire reason I bought this CPU was because I didn't feel like it was necessary for me to go beyond AM4 as nothing is wrong with my mobo (or so I think.) HALP PLEASE
I'm obsessed with computers and my job is IT, yet I always forget how to do this, and I haven't updated my BIOS at all so I'm still running the original factory bios from over 2 years ago..

It seemed to go fine but now my pc is on a loop posting into safe mode on the american megatrends screen. Is my motherboard bricked? How do i fix this? Panicking a little never done updated bios before but seeing you had the same board i figured it should be straight forward
I have a ryzen 5 5500 and plan on upgrading to the 9 5600x, do I need to update the bios? (i have no clue what it's currently updated to)
Very useful video. How would I know if I need an older version of a bios before updating to the current version?
Sweet. I have the same motherboard you have. It would be nice to see what settings you use being that I really don't tamper with my bios. Just to see why you set what you set.
I don't usually mess with too many settings myself. The most I usually do is enable XMP (or in this case being an AMD board, DOCP) and I'll often set a custom CPU fan curve so the system will run nice and quiet unless it's under load then the fans will ramp up to keep things nice and cool. I'll usually set the fan speed to around 50% until the CPU hits 60c at which point I increase the fans to 60% and then at 70c 70% and at 80c 100%. I don't like the fans ramping up unless the temps start getting high.
Thanks for your help!
Good tutorial!
Thanks for getting to the point and not rambling on like some!
thanks a lot!
You're welcome! Happy to help.
great breakdown in this video thank you, i have a quick question..im in this exact process of updating my motherboards bios. and theres like 5 versions i need to update until i get to the most recent bios version. So do i have to do this one by one by putting them on the flash drive and juss updating them one at a time untill i get to the most recent version? I know this may be a stupid question but bare with me. Im a complete noob with this stuff...thanks in advance :)
You're probably fine to just update to the most recent BIOS version. I haven't had to do incremental updates in a very long time. The last time I had to update to one BIOS version before being able to update to the next one was over 10 years ago. I'm not totally sure if incremental updates like that are even a thing anymore, but because they were a thing in the past I feel it's important to make people aware of it. That being said when I've done BIOS updates in recent years and have had a lot of revisions between the BIOS on my board and the newest ones, I haven't seen anything in the revision descriptions saying I needed to update to a specific version before being able to go to a newer version. I've been able to just update to the most recent version and things have been good.
@@Maraksot78 thank you so much im goin to juss update it to the most recent one then, appreciate it.
i have asus msi 320 mobo .. is it compatible with ryzen 5600g?
I’m stuck on bios and can’t load into windows 10?
i have the same motherboard but still with bios for ryzen 2000 (currently r7 2700x) -0225- , should i install first -5861- for ryzen 5000 or can i immediately -6042- ? Do I need to install an even older version on the way?
Did you find out what you needed to do? Im about to upgrade from ryzen 2000 > 5000 and was wondering the same..
@@Dimchiii In my case, I could immediately install the latest BIOS and run the R5 5600, but out of caution, I installed the first one in which the new AGESA was introduced, and only with the new processor did it update to the last released update, but as I wrote, you can immediately install the latest BIOS, only MSI boards have a procedure for installing a new BIOS, the order of even several updates must be maintained, I've already done it.
@@arturpisarek4692 thanks for the info!
Is the internet update bios still safe or can it be dangerous for any reason
It'll be safe but like he said, might not be compatible to have the Internet option.
My computer is making a weird noise and now its on fire. Can i uninstall the update before the house burns down.
This is just a joke but thank you for the video. Im planning on upgrading my cpu and this video helped including the other one about changing the cpu. Thank you
Hello is it possible for a320 motherboard to update bios to support ryzen 5 5500?
I have updated my bios to new one and it downloaded pc went of and on a few time and now I have a black screen but my motherboard is flashed green, what does this mean do I have clear my cmos?
For what reason were you updating your BIOS, may I ask? And what CPU do you have? If you have an older AMD Ryzen CPU like a Ryzen 1000 or 2000 series and you updated to the most current BIOS that will make your motherboard only support Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series CPU's. There's only so much space on the BIOS chip to store the data needed to support different CPU's, so when you update to the most recent BIOS that adds Ryzen 3000 and 5000 support it has to overwrite the data for Ryzen 1000 and 2000 and those CPU's will then no longer be recognized. Depending on your motherboard you'll then end up with either a message saying your CPU isn't recognized or just a black screen. Since you're saying you have a black screen after updating I'm wondering if you have a Ryzen 7 2700X CPU or something and you updated to the most recent BIOS and now your motherboard doesn't recognize your CPU?
Another thought... I've had a weird thing with my PC recently where when I've booted into BIOS to adjust my RAM speed and restart my computer the screen stays black. I've had to unplug my display port cable from my monitor and then plug it back in, and then the signal finally comes back. Not sure why it did that, but at least it was a simple fix.
As for fixing the problem I talked about first, if you currently have a Ryzen 1000 or 2000 CPU; you'll need to buy a Ryzen 3000 or 5000 CPU and swap it into your motherboard in order to get your PC up and running again.
How do i do this without display don't ask me why am i asking this 🥲 just any solutions?
Same mobo. Successfully updated bios; however, windows freezes when in booting screen. Any recommendations?
is there any space left in the disk where you installed windows? did face this problem before updating bios
do A320MH 2.0 even need updating to run ryzen 3000?
Does the USB have to be FAT32? I have a 64 GB usb but only have NTFS and exFAT as options
there are programs that let you format it to fat32
Great video ! But if i am afraid of the bios update it is need or i can live without it?
If your computer is running just fine there's no need to update your BIOS. I made this video for people that know they want/need to update their BIOS but don't know how to do it. I have an older video where I talk about the reasons you'd need/want to update as well as how to do it. The most viewed segment of that video is the update process walk-thru so I figured it was worth making a new, updated video simply showing that. The reason I updated this board is because I'm building a PC using that older X470 AMD motherboard and wanting to slot a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU into it but because that motherboard is older it won't work with that CPU unless I update the BIOS.
I have the same motherboard and i want to upgrade to the 5800X3d, can i use SAM on an x470 board? or do i have to go out and buy a brand new board.
If you have the same board, Asus Strix X470-f Gaming, the BIOS update I did for this video added SAM and I of course turned it on and have been using it. 😎👍🏼
using a asrock board and always get an error at instaflash
Thank you for the beginners guide to update Bios:=). I have the Rog Strix x470-F gaming motherboard and the Biosversion is 4011, havent updated since i bought it im sorry to say. I have now bought an Ryxen 9 5900 cpu and a 3080 graphic. The question is; do i need to update every bios from 4011 to the newest today just to make the new ryzen work on my motherboard? I have now a Ryzen 7 2700X.
I think you should be good to just upgrade to the most recent version.
@@Maraksot78 thank you very much:=)
@@blom1974 So how did it go may I ask? I am also doing this as soon my parts arrive.
When i updated the bios my pc turned off and on like 5 times, this was the most stressfull thing i've experienced
What about it saying "Important Notice!! Please backup your bitlocker recovery key and suspend bitlocker encryption in the OS before updating your bios"?
Did you figure it out?
@@Jaso7if you have windows 11 home then dont worry abt it if you have windows 10 or 11 pro go search a tutorial abt it i lowkey forgot what specifically. Smthin in admin panel
Does downloading the older update necessary for everyone or we can actually just straight ahead download the recent one ?
Mine was two years old version 2022 and I just downloaded the latest right away, I’m using ASUS TUFF b660-plus D4
Dont you have to use the rename software?
my brother please help i have a old version of bios 2020 and i didnt update the bios and there is a new version but im scared if i lose the Accounts of my microsoft pack ( word powerpoint ) should i do it or no because they will go away ??
how to do it without a flash drive?
how to I do this with an ASRock
does my usb need to be clean?
Thank you brother
thank you so much!
what is your ups?
Why do you need to download previous bios version?
I don't know if this is as much of a thing nowadays as it was in the past. In the old days you would sometimes need to update to a certain BIOS version before you could update to a more recent one if there had been a lot of BIOS updates for your motherboard. On all the more modern stuff though I haven't seen this, so I don't know for sure if it's still something we need to worry about or not. I mentioned it in the video because I've had to do it in the past, but at the same time, it has been a long time since I last had to do that.
@@Maraksot78 oh okay, Thanks for your response much appreciated
no problem
do i need to deactivate xml
why didnt you rename it
Anxiety 📈📈📈📈📈
Thank you very much
Hey brother, I'm not understanding exactly the step where I might be required to go backwards in bios version. I have the exact file you've shown here ver. 6042, myPC sees it, but it says "file is not a UEFI bios file" for some reason. Perhaps because I'm on an oooold version already? To my knowledge, it has never been updated. Secondly, I downloaded the file just to my hard drive, as I didn't understand why I would need a thumb drive. I'm using the exact same mobo as you, the x470-F gaming and am trying to see if updating the bios will allow me to use a Ryzen 7 5800x3D CPU, as it currently wont boot with it installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm on the verge of just giving up and buying a newer motherboard, which is frustrating because the entire reason I bought this CPU was because I didn't feel like it was necessary for me to go beyond AM4 as nothing is wrong with my mobo (or so I think.) HALP PLEASE
thanks from Japan
What if you’re using limited hotspot data for internet and it runs out while the BIOS is updating? Will that also damage the motherboard?
thank you!
I'm obsessed with computers and my job is IT, yet I always forget how to do this, and I haven't updated my BIOS at all so I'm still running the original factory bios from over 2 years ago..
I bought a new computer and it has a bios update from over two years ago
Updating mine rn im so nervous and scared
How’d it go?
How’d it go
It worked well its so good😊@@chorizoman8130
