For my B650I motherhoard I was able to use a PNY 256GB 3.1 thumb drive that I converted to exFat because that was the only option. So is it 100% true you can only use FAT32 or is it a newer standard?
can you clear your new pc build before you've installed windows just by unplugging all the power from the board, waiting a while and then replugging the power connectors to the MB? I accidentally selected Integrated Graphics, and now can't get any video signal.

My Asus Proart B550 is out for RMA and since Asus is taking too long to replace it I bought this board to keep the work going but I'm unable to install Windows on it. Basically, the Windows setup cannot format or delete the partition(s) on any of my drives (have tried 4), I get GPT/NTFS errors. By looking at tutorials I even tried diskpart but even that fails to format. Is there a certain BIOS setting that I might be missing, please suggest.

My son messed about with his bios, no signs of life...I gathered all the required information, followed Mikes directions, and voila computer back in action, & this noob mum gained cred (for a day!) Thanks Mike
Brilliant glad to know that I helped and that everything is all ok now
Thank you! This video just saved my butt bigtime!!!!! I have a Gigabyte B550m and I cannot get CSM to stay disabled for Secure Boot to be Active (Says Non Active) It said something about resetting Platform Keys.... DO NOT do that.... Board will NOT POST. This Qflash trick saved my butt. Loaded a drive and followed this video without pulling the board out. It worked! Thank you very much!
glad it helped
Yeah I did this for valorant and now my pc won’t display do you think doing this will help me also?
did it and it WORKED,before this i tried everything else you could possibly think of, cmos reset with the battery and the shorting the pins nothing and so many other things, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
BiOS updating is always a bit of a headache and can be scary for those doing this for the first time! Very thorough tutorial Mike! By the way I really like that MOBO!
it is a nice board, no frills or gimmicks just a plain old fashioned well priced product
@@mikesunboxing i have the same mobo, i just built my first computer using it and i love it, its really good for its price except it doesnt have built in wifi, but thats fine considering the price of the motherboard
This was my first time doing a BIOS update in this manner, I've always done it the old school way. Gigabyte's site isn't all that descriptive in telling the full story in how to do it, this video helped a lot. I needed to get a B550M Aorus Elite ready for a 5800X3D, now she should be ready to sing.
Nice work!
An update?
For the second time on a build your video saved me a lot of frustration, I bought 2 used gigabyte motherboards off eBay and the ryzen 5 5500 CPU’s I bought wouldn’t work, I had laid all this out before hand and checked both boards and they both said new cpu detected so I proceeded to build. I immediately knew it was a bios issue, thanks once again and keep helping the pc community, I prefer asus boards but I got a good deal on these gigabyte boards, not used to flashing them.
Glad I could help
Great video Mike and Lady Kath. Flashing the bios has always been my greatest fear and dreaded doing it. I usually flash it through Windows if I can. And I've been building computers since the mid 90's. Take care all. Cheers
yeah it is always something that makes time slow down like in a accident but there is nothing you can do to change the outcome
Thanks for these refreshers Mike. BIOS is nervewracking at times and following these videos puts me at ease.
You can do it!
Thank you, it worked. My board did not recognise my USB keyboard.
It is rev 1.4 and i downloaded the files from 23 mar 2023, extracted those were only around 16 MB big, but it worked fine.
Also the flash light went out but my psu kept running so I turned it off manually after waiting a while, then I was able to boot into bios using F2, thx again.
Interesting to see how different manufacturers handle the BIOS update function. The renaming the file part is what confuses many.
The only downside about learning all of this is that I get to be the one to troubleshoot and repair the tech problems for family, co-workers and friends. It's a good thing that I enjoy it.
Seems like that is a good motherboard as well. I am getting ready for a new build for the office as a web conferencing machine, and I believe I just found its motherboard. Being able to update BIOS even without a fully built platform is important. Thanks for sharing.
cheers mookie!
@@mikesunboxing hi great video. I did same procedure on a v 1.2 of mobo (i installed ram, cpu and gpu unfortunatelly) and after i press q flash i can't see lights....and it seems no update

@@sebastiedjuan7468 Glad you figured it out 🙂
Brilliant budget board. I've recommended this purely because of the price and this specific feature. My friends are quite happy with this motherboard.
yeah can't go wrong at the moment with it
Excellent advice Mike to put things together OUTSIDE the case first. For example, always test the PSU first, then proceed from there if it turns on.
Good point!
Great instructional video Mike, thanks for sharing 🙂 Really like the look of that B550 Giga board.
it does look pretty decent and for the money right now you can't go wrong
@@mikesunboxing i buy a rtx 4090 and i don't know if can use on it
Thanks a lot! I left the cpu in because it was already mounted on my B550M DS3H AC. It worked fine but it did not turn off by itself after it was done.
Had a go trying this on PC I built that wouldn't post because I enabled XMP and it fixed it. Thanks have been frustrated trying to find a solution for a couple of hours
Great video. Knew the motherboard would work but wasn’t quite sure how to go about it without another cpu. Very simple to follow and helpful!
Glad it helped!
Mike's How to is Worthy of a Support comment. Like & a share 🙂
thanks William
Little late, but I still support the Support Comment.
@@PapaMav Thank's 😀

Great tutorial on bios updating. Follow your steps and feel no pain lol Thanks for sharing Mike and Kath🐈👍
Thanks for watching!
Thank u man i overclocked my ram and sfter that my pc didnt boot anymore even with cmos reset but this guy helped me alot to reinstall bios thank u man Gg
glad to help
Can we get some backside PCB tests with a couple Ryzen 5000 series processors? Seems as the original version gets high VRM temps with a 3950x and I wonder if that still persists with the V2 model.
i'll see what i can do
Thank you. Following your video step by step, flashing the new Bios was easy.
Glad it helped
Going through this now, this video was exactly what i needed. Thank you so much
You got this!
thanks for the vid same process for my A620I and did it with the 8500g and ram already installed :-)
Great 👍
Incredibly useful. Thanks. Definitely doing this since it's my first time moving from Intel to AMD
Glad it helped!
Had to look up your video been struggling with an exFAT drive and not a FAT32!! Confusion as I use the same 64GB exFAT usb for Asus bios updates fine but Gigabyte obviously need FAT32!
Glad it helped Chris
Thank you very much this was what Inwas looking for but for b650e. Earned yourself a sub. Cheers
Thanks for the sub!
might be buying this mobo for my new pc
good choice for a lot of people
You have no idea how much i love you right now. Thanks!!!
thanks
Thank you! It worked!
Although my PC kept working after it was done with BIOS, I had to gather some courage to shut it down, heh.
Great!
u are a life saver. gave a like thanks. i thought psu was dead bcuz fans not spinning. now its flashing. how do i turn it on after it ends? flash button again or switch psu button off/on is enough? i dont wanna put in case yet. trying to check all parts first.
Is there any motherboard for AMD Ryzen CPU's that supports 4 M.2 SSD? I see that this MB supports 2 M.2 SSD's, but I wonder, is there a board that has a place for 4 M.2 SSD's?
gigabyte aorus master and msi unify i think
@@mikesunboxing Thank you :)
This is my first ever build, and my first ever time with a new motherboard. Just to be clear: the most recent BIOS is the better choice than the one listed for the CPU?
yes
Hi Mike thanks for the video. Sadly even after the update my build is not running. After I power on, the PSU fastly clicks 9 times and that's it. Nothing on the screen, no signs of life. Just funs spinning. The CPU is in the list of the supported ones, I tried everything, iteratively changing ram disconnecting the GPU, removing the hard drive, resetting CMOS and the latest try was the update. Every component is brand new and compatible with the motherboard. Have you ever experienced something like this? Could it be the motherboard is shorted somehow?
sounds like a short take it out of the case if it isn't already and try on the box
Marco,did you solve that problem you had?
nice about to get this mobo very helpful. have a 5600x but going to flash beforehand just to be up to date
Nice 👍
Got it done the first time. Thanks
No problem 👍
Thanks for this video. I feel like such an idiot, but I was trying to Install 1.2 updates on a 1.3 motherboard.
I'm glad I saw this video and checked, finally.
Thanks again for posting this 👍🤓
you won't be the first and definitely not the last
This is my current exact issue and identical components. I followed this procedure precisely, flashed my bios exactly as described in this video, and everything went to plan. Then I stuck the cpu back in and booted it up, but there's still no display. Something changed though. Now when the pc boots, after about 10 seconds it switches itself off, then after a other 5 seconds it switches itself back on, still no display, only now the power off button doesn't work, pressed or held. Any advice?
hmm sounds like a short or overheat protection maybe?
@@mikesunboxing it was a temp issue yeah. Sorted that, still no display.

Right now, the newest bios is f19, should i download it for 5 5600X ?
yes use the newest one for patches and security updates
hello mike great video i just have a few questions im recently swapping from a i7 4790k to a ryzen 5600x but the mobo i have purchased is a GIGABYTE B550M DS3H an ive never flashed a drive before let alone swap a motherboard but im just curious if i need the autoexec.bat file on the flash drive to? as with mine is isnt in there but the other 3 are?
no it isn't needed.

Fantastic tutorial! But I have question. Can I flash the BIOS in the same motherboard (B550 gaming x v2) without removing RAM’s, ssd drive and gpu? Or is it nessesary to do?
should be fine as it is
When I try to do this, my pc turns on and then restarts. After I try shutting it down via the power button it keeps restarting so I have to cut all the electricity to the pc. There is no display on monitor and both keyboard and mouse dont work

If someone have bad luck,like power went off during flashing bios (like you do on this video) or some error appear.Can he just try again or with other version of bios? Or no help after that?
yes just try again

hello Mike, the motherboard has finally arrived, it's exactly like the one in your video and the ryzen 7 5700x processor, now I don't know if I still need a bios update, is it rev 1.4? and for now I have 3000mhz cl 15 ram memories from the old PC, are those good too?
that revision should be okay straight away
@@mikesunboxingdoes it mean that the bios update is no longer needed?
What if the led doesnt flash at all? Power is definitely connected.
maybe a faulty board or short circuit, try the board outside of the case if it isn't already

I have the same motherboard (rev 1.3) and I tried to Q flash it, it wouldn't turn on, neither the fans on the PSU nor the red blinking red.
I tried to just put the CPU, RAM and GPU on, and surprise, it already had the right BIOS version (The one that supports Ryzen 5600 which is very new). So if you have a rev 1.3 motherboard, odds are, it's already flashed to support by default boards release before 14 november 2022 (also rev 1.3 has only two BIOS versions FB and FC, and they're on a a different page from the other revs)

Thanks for the video. I followed the steps up until my pcu turned off after the update. Then I proceed to build the pc but it wouldn't even turn on!! I deassembled it again and tried a second update with no issues, but the pc still won't turn on after assembly.
What could be the issue? I made sure to get the latest file for my mobo: Aorus x570 pro.
Thanks!!
if it won't actually turn on that sounds like a power problem, either a short or a bad power switch maybe?
@@mikesunboxing thank you very much for your reply. I tried shorting the power pins on the mobo, but it still wont turn on after assembling the CPU and RAM only. I'm guessing its not a power issue since the PSU delivers power normally while the QFlash is underway. Could it be that the mobo is bricked somehow or the CPU is damaged by mistake?

hi please help. I’m new when it comes to pc building and I just finished building mine. When i powered the pc for the first time, i pressed del button once the prompt appeared and pressed Y after.

hey on the website it says fb for all the supported cpu's because im on rev 1.4 does that mean my motherboard supports all of them or ?
if the FB version is the first bios for the board then it will cover all the CPUs listed as FB or FA out of the box
Mine never started flashing it was just lit constantly for 30 min until i unplugged and turned it off. Im waiting on a gpu to finnish pc build but do you think my motherboard will be fine?
not sure doesn't sound like the task started or finished im sorry to say
@@mikesunboxing I tried again and it just lit again. Then i built pc and tried with another usb and nothing happened. Then i tried with the first usb and it seemed like it worked. Still need gpu to arrive to know for sure

Does this still work the same for 1.4 rev versions of the mother board? As on the website it doesn’t have f10 available as a download as I’m using the Ryzen 7 5800x
1.4 won't need an update it has the FB version installed that supports all AM4 chips out of the box
Can you Q flash without a button? my motherboard does not post but It did before BIOS update
no sorry
My led light starts flashing couple rimes after that it stays turned on and then it turns off and doesnt do anything anymkre what does that mean?
can't read the file, check which revision of the board you have and get the right bios file for that specific revision

Hey mate i have Ryzen 5 5500,will i need to update bios on B550M Aorus Elite? I bricked my last motherboard a320m-k even though update went sucessful
depends which revision you get, most should be updated now unless it is quite old stock
Does it matter if I put a 3.1 flash drive into the 3.2 bios usb port on the motherboard?, because I used my 3.1 flash drive and it didn't work the bios flash only last for a minute
should be okay
@@mikesunboxing What should I do, if I have usb 2.0 stick, by something newer with 3.0 support? Because my B550m doesn't reply.
Hey, can you tell me the difference between Q-Flash and Q-Flash Plus?
q flash plus is the button on the board, q flash is via the bios
@@mikesunboxing so I would need a supported CPU if my Mobo doesn't have q flash plus?
@@evergreatest7644 that is correct
1. I did this because my pc stopped powering on after I turned on secure boot and disabled CSM, but I was doing it with my friend telling me what to do and I think a mistake was made. The flash drive was formatted as exFat because it is a 64gb flash drive and it was maybe too big, so when I hit the q flash button it flashed and then went a solid colour before turning off. Does this mean that the motherboard is bricked or could it be solved by trying again with a correctly formatted flash drive? Because pressing the q flash button afterwards (with the same flash drive but just re-downloaded the bios update file) didn’t result in any lights.
2. For future reference, if I already had windows installed and everything up and running, to update my bios could I just click on the windows auto exec file and it would finish pretty much without any interference from me?
sounds like you needed to reset the CMOS to the factory defaults rather than flash it. Secure and UEFI are the default setting for modern BIOS so you would still be in the same position if your hardware won't support uefi
@@mikesunboxingI looked up resetting the cmos and the tutorials were taking out the motherboard’s battery, which was one of the things I tried. It didn’t work though I did try it after attempting to flash the bios.
Idk what else to do so I’ve just exchanged the motherboard for a new one and will not mess with bios until everything is up and running just to split up the process to make it more digestible

yes the 7700x was supported from the very first day. all newer bioses will have that support + more

@@n0xxm3rcyxx Glad it went well 🙂
I've just had a horror weekend with my first build- a mix of naivety, ignorance and bad luck lol...Bought a MSI Pro B660M-G DDR4 and at the CPU stage of the buy opted for the better i3-13100F as it was only a tenner more than the 12100F...big big mistake it's turned out, yes it has LGA1700 but the BIOS is not able to detect the 13th gen, there's no USB Q-flash function so only way would be borrow(buy from CeX and return after use?!) a 12th Gen CPU to be able to update it...long story short I'm sending the board back and have bought a Z760 (arriving tomorrow), but as it's been out only since this year started is it worth updating the bios? there's only one minor looking update ?? This 760 at least has the Q-Flash Plus...live and learn I won't make that mistake again!!
the new board should be pretty up to date, but there is a security patch in the newer bios i believe so worth doing at some point if not straight away
@@mikesunboxing My apologies it's not a z760 it's a Gigabyte B760M DS3H DDR4 (Rev 1.0)... There's one BIOS update from 9 days ago but all I can see in it on the Gigabyte page is:

2. deffo won't apply as I'm not going beyond 1660 Super, but do the others mean much? I looked into the files as far as I could but nothing jumped out at me?
Forgot to thank you for putting this video together- the board arrived a couple of hours ago and I'm just not sure whether I do this or not... (Hint : I've already followed the steps and have it on a clean FAT32 formatted USB renamed "GIGABYTE.bin" (The online manuals show it all lower case?).... Confidence got a bit knocked putting it all together in the case and having to dismantle it all bar the front fans! WHat happens if there's a power cut doing it this way via USB-Q Flash, is it game over or could the process just be repeated?? TIA
@@barriobarranco do it you know it is done then, also having completed it your confidence should be fully restored
@@mikesunboxing Hi Mike- I half chickened out and built the PC out the box to do the POST, all went fine, built it properly and all well ...when I got to the stage of ready for the OS I decided to do the F3 BIOS update and doing it from the screen felt a lot better than just doing it on a board out of the box with just flashing LED's for guidance!! It installed no problem- used a 16Gb USB3 stick, properly formatted, all good.... System is up and running perfect now, cheers fella!
@@barriobarranco Glad to hear 🙂
O dont see my led pop up
Bro's a legend
thanks
I did the same process with my mobo but mine Is 1.3 version and only has FB bios update. The file by default was smaller and only took 3/5 minuts to complete. Do you think it's ok? I'm waiting for my cpu to be delivered so i can't test It right now
hope it turns out okay
@@mikesunboxing i read somewhere that the time also depends on the Power i used a 650w you had a 450 in the video i Hope It works

No puedo actualizar. Quizas es por que tengo todo con oc? Probare a poner todo de fabrica y probar ... No se come el archivo se bios no hay maner
hope you figure it out
@@mikesunboxing finally i can! The problem was i dont chose the correct versions of the bios. A few models similar for the v550 elite v2 🙈
@@HEXTOR1986 Glad you got it working 🙂
Terrible idea. The default settings on my mobo are gone
qflash installs a new bios and loads the new bios defaults, you mean it has changed your custom settings not the defaults
Everytime i extract the file it doesnt show up the files that yours does

I understand this video but I don’t understand the difference flashing speeds
it is the difference between reading and writing speeds visually
@@mikesunboxingbut like you said something about it goes at this speed the Q flash fails
Did everything in the video & it won’t q flash

I don't understand, I did everything right but my red light doesn't come on (I have the same motherboard

@@mikesunboxing Yes I have it still doesn't work

How can I do it on rev 1.3 ? Because it is very different
yes same principle just a different bios file
what does it mean when the LED doesn't flash at all??
no power or a short circuit somewhere?
@@mikesunboxing No figured it out, there are different revisions for the board, the one i had was rev 1.3 so the bios update i was using was wrong and the board was rejecting it, got the correct one for rev1.3 and worked straight away
@@ReinKun Glad you figured it out and got it updated 🙂
what is the change with the V2 version?
new VRM and audio
@@mikesunboxing just the '8000 series ready' as far as I can tell, you thinking of the same boards? the website pages have them identical. if so where are you seeing that?
If I Q-Flash this specific motherboard then will my ryzen 5 5600x work on this motherboard?
If you have the same board it won’t need the flash
@@mikesunboxing ok good, I have rev 1.3. does that matter or will I have to flash it?
@@raquelcarmona8133 that one will work with that CPU straight out of the box
@@mikesunboxingi bought rev 1.0 will it work with Ryzen 5 5600x without the bios update
would probably need it tomorrow.
If i get an 16gb usb can i format to FAT32?
yes you can
@@mikesunboxing And another thing, on my aorus elite v2 for the r7 5700x i need F14 and i didn’t build the pc yet, can i do the same like you? And what to put? F17( the latest) or F14? I’m a bit scared that the latest bios will have bugs,if you can help me i’m gonna be so happy!🤝🏻
Can u tell me what version:FB means?
in relation to what sorry?
@@mikesunboxing bios
How do you extract better!??
use windows built in extraction tool
It is not letting me rename it.
do you have file extensions turned on?
I cant rename the bios , B550AORUSELITEV2

can i use a rtx 4090 on this mobo?
yes you can
Do I unplug the usb after?
yes you can do, or leave it there totally up to you
@@mikesunboxing appreciate the reply Thankyou for your help, great video too made it very simple as possible and clear😄👍🏼
@@Kopi.YT.Glad it helped 🙂
When you look up your board and it never got a bios update...explains alot
Do i need to update bios for 5600x ?
Anyone ?
no should be 5000 series ready
Hi Mike, loving your video's, this one will make my build easier later today :) wanted to ask, you've said above that the 5600x should be compatible out of the box, (albeit mine will be a 5600) but the BIOS version that supports it is F14, wouldn't it need to be in their F1 BIOS version? I'm torn between trying the BIOS update anyway to latest version using the usb q-flash, or go ahead and build the system and hope it's supported or that the board was made at a later date :) Cheers
budd
idk where u got shit from but its way differntt to mine
What have you got?
a pdf with this
file:///D:/efiflash%20SOP_MElock.pdf
