YOU SAVED MY LIFE! Ironic, I watched this video months before actually needing to follow the procedures in this video but the day has come that it’s handy to me. Moral lesson: NEVER use dragon center to update the BIOS.
Thank you. This was so clear and it was literally exactly what I needed, even down to the specific motherboard. I bought a Ryzen 7 5700x and this mobo and it needed a bios update to run the 3060 that I was switching onto it. Yo're a lifesaver. Please never take this video down as I will be referring people here.
i didnt know that i needed to do a flashback update to my bios so i was sitting there confused why i had no display, a friend of mine told me to doa flashback but the usb i used was faulty and when you mentioned that in this video, it clicked and now i have visuals!! thank you so much for the help!

Just bought the Board, I had a Ryzen 5500 no GPU, and the Motherboard powered up but gave blank display. So I had a pretty much a built unit. I disconnected everything but the CPU, and followed your directions. With the CPU installed when I started the Flash there was a loud beep, cpu light was flashing, but the Bios Flash pretty much followed your video from that point. After I put vid card and a stick of ram in and got a Display to get into bios. I then watched your other video that showed how to set up bios, My SATA Drive did not show up in the bios and would not boot to the drive. The default settings had Raid enabled , Hot swap drive enabled and was generally mucked up. So your video helped me get that sorted. A bit of a surprise was the Windows 10 drive booted like normal, and it was installed on a 8 year old ASUS board. So I will let it run and smoke test it for a day or so. See if I can get away without reinstalling Windows. I watched some reviews of Windows 11 and can't say anyone had a given a good reason to install it. Thank you very much for the two Videos.

@@mikesunboxing Hello, I have built my PC about a month ago and it was working properly. However; for the last 2 days I am having black screen crashes especially while gaming or booting the game. To narrow down the possibilities, I have made a clear format and only installed the windows updates, gpu driver and mobo drivers. And also the steam app to make the test for gaming. And unfortunately the black screen crash still goes on. What I have found out is that the PC makes a strange booting sound and sometimes it lives on and sometimes it gives the black screen. It always makes that sound before the crash. I assume the sound comes from the mobo... it is MSI MEG x570 Unify btw. I have tried to perform cpu and gpu load tests and it survived that but booting a game or playin for a couple of minutes is impossible... which was fine just 2 days ago... I need some directions

Recant vulnerabilitys in 2024 require bios update (sinkhole witch allows you to rootkit your AMD CPU > SMM and LogoFAIL witch can hijack the boot logo to run code) make sure you update your AMD chipset driver first (from AMD website, not motherboard maker) before updating the bios I just got this possibly broken B550M PRO-VDH (only paid £15 for it) so hoping it is actually working or needs bios update (I have my old 1800x cpu I can thow in it) if it doesn't work it's only £15
Mike thanks for the clear to understand video, as it feels more than daunting, I now know the best board for my build and feel reasonably confident to attempt the job Thankyou.
Thank you! I bought a Codex barebones unit that has this mobo in it from the place that sounds like a rain forest and I'm waiting for a Ryzen 7 5700G, in the meantime I thought I'd get a jump on updating the BIOS and I was having some issues. I don't have all the components I need to test, but I think I am all squared away thanks to you. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Hey, I appreciate that you're still answering questions two years later. I have a quick question. I assembled the pc, but the bios button flashes once when I press it and it stays on when holding it. Nothing else happens afterwards. I tried removing the RAM already, but that hasn't helped. I'm trying to upgrade my BIOS to v28
sounds like either a short somewhere or the USB drive can't be read, try another one if you can and triple check it is the right BIOS and the drive is formatted correctly
Just bought this board and want to format it for my new ryzen 5600x although i'm not entirely sure if it needs it or not. just dont wanna risk hurting anything. this video was perfect, i came here due to not knowing which usb port to try due to the instructions being shoddy. thanks so much sir.
Thank God and you man!!! It works! I was almost crying but I reset the usb through cmd like you did, them copy the same bios firmware and works. Thank you very much again.
Hi, nice video but I have a question regarding the battery removal. More specifically, is it mandatory to remove the CMOS battery or not? And after having removed it, should I put it back or not?
Thanks for this vidro, what a lifesaver... PSA: If the red light blinks a couple of times and then holds solid red, try using a different USB drive, worked for me
I am planning to buy the first PC in a couple of months, and I was looking for tutorials about updating the BIOS on this specific motherboard, which I am also going to buy, because for it to be compatible with the Ryzen 5 5600 the BIOS must be updated if it isn't already. Thank you very much, imma keep this in my liked playlist!
Thank you very much. I used the Version without WIFI. In my case, i could not do the update with installed components. I think the default BIOS does not support my CPU (5800X). But without CPU it works perfectly.
Ive build my PC with this board, and a rysen 5. aswell as a 1660 gtx gpu. I have a blank monitor on boot up and VGA light on the motherboard. Everything turns on like my LED but nothing else. I am wondering if i need to flash my BIOS? I have windows on flash drive but it just doesnt do anything. sunk alot into this rig.
I just ordered a b550m pro vdh (not the wifi version) and I saw it supports my ryzen 5 5600x but only with a bios update, I'll put everything together and try it, it may come with a good enough bios update that supports it, but just having everything prepared in case it doesn't :D
Same here no WiFi version, I ordered a 5600 to go with it. as it will arrive within a few days..but I also ordered a 5700x3d from aliexpress but that could take 2 weeks , if the 5700x3d is legit I will put this motherboard and the 5600 in his pc and buy myself a better motherboard to go with the 5700x3d. Now I don't think I will bother and just go with this budget motherboard again
mUCHAS GRACIAS POR TU VIDEO ME AYUDO DEMASIADO YA QUE COMPRE LA MISMA PLACA Y LO BUENO ES QUE VI TU VIDEO ANTES DE INSTALAR TODO Y LA VERDAD TODO SALIO DE MARAVILLA SIN PROBLEMAS SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO.
This video was very helpful in knowing how to exactly use the bios button flash method, I had a super weird experience with this board in that it gave no VGA error with a 4500 CPU build I was making, I flashed the bios using this guide and it didn't work. As a final last-ditch attempt, I flashed again with no CPU or RAM, barebones like in this guide and when I put the CPU back in along with the rest of the components it POST and boot to bios with no further issue. Not sure what wonky donkey nonsense happened but in future I will be using the BIOS flash button BEFORE building the system. It shouldn't matter but apparently, in my case it did... I am not sure why.

Hii Mike Its worked🙏🙏🤗 thank you But i get weird scenario here My Power supply was dead/faulty during bios flash I setup the motherboard same step as this video then i press the bios button then red light start to light up But i noticed fan of the power supply not spinning but red light is still blinking so i left the setup running not touches anything, after that procedure completed i assembled my PC but its not started, that time i assumed that my Power supply is faulty so i bring my pc to an PC store were technician says my power supply is faulty, everytime its ON for a second then its stops outputting power So i requested replacement for power supply in amazon Not its working with new power supply I don't know how its worked but i am happy🤗🤗 I checked the bios version its same as i download(current letest version) Also my motherboard says its ready for ""3rd gen ryzen ready" not mention 5000 ready, thats why i flashed letest bios
if it never flashed and is solid red there is a short circuit on the computer, if it flashed a couple of times then solid it can't read the USB stick or possibly the file
Ok for those that are doing it now, and i saw some comments that you could even do this with all the components installed, dont do that, take them all out including the new cpu, and then do it just with cpu and 24 pin connectors connected then it’ll work, i am saying this because i had done it like i said above :))
@@mikesunboxing although i have a question, i did the update just like you in the vid but there was only the red light on and after i put it back together like cou ram gpu and everything else it turns on for a split second and then instant off and it wont start only if i pull the psu cable out and then back in but it does the same

Good morning across the pond. I have the msi mag B550 Tomahawk and a r5 3600 so I have not updated the bios. Like you advised.. It works well so no need to update.. at least that is how I took it. Peace
@@mikesunboxing I chickened out just used the stock BIOS version out of the box lol. However, is it possible that I'm getting high temps (60c minimal load and 80c~82c full load) on my CPU due to my BIOS not using the latest version? I just ordered a CPU cooler..
Otaku Arabs Thanks for the feedback! Please consider sharing the video and information on your social media, it really helps to get the message out there.
Good video as usual ; Mike .My question is can i get a 5 2600x on the board you are using`?Or does this only work with CPU.s that are supported ?My one is not. supported on the board.I have seen in forums of people getting the cpu working with the board.I liked your review of it.
Hey man, my BIOS version is from 09/03/2024 but I saw on the MSI website that the last version that came out was from 09/05/2024 and I wasn't able to find any BIOS version that was released on 09/03, I want to know if my version is the same just with different dates? The BIOS file from 05/09 has exactly the same name as the current version of my BIOS. My motherboard is an MSI B550M PRO VDH WIFI
Subscribed as soon as I saw this video come up and it's working a charm (R5 5600 CPU is installed in my instance, not affecting the process). Once it's done and the CPU is in, do I just put a GPU in and hook it up to a monitor, and wait or is there another step?
Okay so I just got my mobo today and I did the exact step it did light up red blinking for like 20 second and shut off but no white led or nothing sooo did i do it right? 6:24
I might be late and I don't know if you'll answer but I followed every step but when I press the button the red led starts flashing for a few seconds then turns off and nothing else happens

I bought a Codex barebones unit that has this mobo in it from the place that sounds like a rain forest and I'm waiting for a Ryzen 7 5700G, in the meantime I thought I'd get a jump on updating the BIOS and I was having some issues. I don't have all the components I need to test, but I think I am all squared away thanks to you. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Glad I could help!
Hey, I appreciate that you're still answering questions two years later. I have a quick question. I assembled the pc, but the bios button flashes once when I press it and it stays on when holding it. Nothing else happens afterwards. I tried removing the RAM already, but that hasn't helped. I'm trying to upgrade my BIOS to v28
sounds like either a short somewhere or the USB drive can't be read, try another one if you can and triple check it is the right BIOS and the drive is formatted correctly
Me paso lo mismo
What does a solid light mean
@@NARUTON11lo solucionaste?
Had the same problem just about now - solid red led light with no progress whatsoever. Fixed it by using different USB stick
Just bought this board and want to format it for my new ryzen 5600x although i'm not entirely sure if it needs it or not. just dont wanna risk hurting anything.
this video was perfect, i came here due to not knowing which usb port to try due to the instructions being shoddy. thanks so much sir.
did this all work for you?
trying to figure it out my self
Thank God and you man!!! It works! I was almost crying but I reset the usb through cmd like you did, them copy the same bios firmware and works. Thank you very much again.
You are welcome!
Hi, nice video but I have a question regarding the battery removal. More specifically, is it mandatory to remove the CMOS battery or not? And after having removed it, should I put it back or not?
it isn't always necessary only if you think there is a potential of the settings in the BIOS / CMOS being bad or wrong
@@mikesunboxing Alright thank you! 👍
@@Rogue1337. No problem :-)
Thanks for this vidro, what a lifesaver... PSA: If the red light blinks a couple of times and then holds solid red, try using a different USB drive, worked for me
Great tip!
Didn't work for me
I'm guessing it's the same procedure for the msi b550-a pro
yes just a different BIOS file
This ist a very Good video. I've been looking for a helpful video for a long time and this Video saved my Life. Thx
Glad it helped
Will this guide help with all msi motherboards with a flash button? Thanks Mike
Yupp
yes it will
Here after 3 years. Thanks, man
thanks for watching
think i might get one pre flashed just to reduce pain
You’re my hero right now! Saving amateurs like me!
glad to help
Do I have to take the cmos battery out and short it if I’m using the motherboard brand new?
No need really if you are sure it is brand new
I am planning to buy the first PC in a couple of months, and I was looking for tutorials about updating the BIOS on this specific motherboard, which I am also going to buy, because for it to be compatible with the Ryzen 5 5600 the BIOS must be updated if it isn't already.
Thank you very much, imma keep this in my liked playlist!
Thank you very much. I used the Version without WIFI. In my case, i could not do the update with installed components. I think the default BIOS does not support my CPU (5800X). But without CPU it works perfectly.
thanks for watching
thanks bro video was a life saver need to know info could not get my setup to post!!!!!! No I will be able to.
Glad I could help
Ive build my PC with this board, and a rysen 5. aswell as a 1660 gtx gpu. I have a blank monitor on boot up and VGA light on the motherboard. Everything turns on like my LED but nothing else. I am wondering if i need to flash my BIOS? I have windows on flash drive but it just doesnt do anything. sunk alot into this rig.
you don't say which ryzen 5 you have, but if it is 5000 series then yes most likely
@@mikesunboxing 3800
@@unkleredd could you fix it? The same happened to me
I just ordered a b550m pro vdh (not the wifi version) and I saw it supports my ryzen 5 5600x but only with a bios update, I'll put everything together and try it, it may come with a good enough bios update that supports it, but just having everything prepared in case it doesn't :D
Same here no WiFi version, I ordered a 5600 to go with it. as it will arrive within a few days..but I also ordered a 5700x3d from aliexpress but that could take 2 weeks , if the 5700x3d is legit I will put this motherboard and the 5600 in his pc and buy myself a better motherboard to go with the 5700x3d. Now I don't think I will bother and just go with this budget motherboard again
I reckon the rule of thumb here with BIOS Flashing and other stuff is not to do anything unless you absolutely have to !!
yes if it ain't broken don't fix it
@@mikesunboxing Absolutely :-)

Gracias
Im updating...
Thank you for this video. I had read how to and saw another video, but your video reassured me and gave me some peace of mind about doing it.
yes it isn't as scary if you have the knowledge on how the process works and what to watch out for
This video helped me out in a big way. Thanks for this. Was wondering how to do it properly.
Glad it helped!
This video was very helpful in knowing how to exactly use the bios button flash method, I had a super weird experience with this board in that it gave no VGA error with a 4500 CPU build I was making, I flashed the bios using this guide and it didn't work. As a final last-ditch attempt, I flashed again with no CPU or RAM, barebones like in this guide and when I put the CPU back in along with the rest of the components it POST and boot to bios with no further issue. Not sure what wonky donkey nonsense happened but in future I will be using the BIOS flash button BEFORE building the system. It shouldn't matter but apparently, in my case it did... I am not sure why.
Extremely useful video saved me a lot of time. Thank you very much
thanks for watching
Thanks for uploading this video. Had to do this yesterday so the board (which I think still had it's original BIOS) would accept a 5600G processor.
Glad we could help
Bro, I have been five hours trying to upgrade the BIOS, without results since I watch your video, you're a crack
Glad to hear that
Getting this mobo and the ryzen 5 5600x next month. Good to know I don't have to stress this, seems fairly easy. I'll be back :D
hope it all goes well
THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE... Worked like a charm...
glad it helped
What a relief thank you sir.!! Finally.. 🙌
Glad it helped
Thank you for your help, very well explained

Hii Facu please help me
I order this same motherboard but seller sends me old stock motherboard which is not ready for r5 5000g
I have some questions please ans
1. Do you done cmos battery removal reset trick
2. Which name is better msi.rom or MSI.ROM because i seen many videos with MSI.ROM
@@yogesh124 hi yogesh! I dont remember very well becouse i did it a year ago, but i remember that i did exactly the steps that he said in the video. I hope that can help you
Exactly what i need right now, thanks a lot man !!!
Glad we could help!
You saved my son's life! Although it was a fault at my part and I didn't connect the 4-Pin, dumb me!
Tbh I did this with all the components attached and without removing the cmos battery and clearing cmos and it worked
Thanks for the info :-)
Thanks this worked for me. I flashed with the RAM/CPU/M.2 connected only thing not connected was the GPU.
Nice video Mike! Also enjoyed the PDU video earlier, keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
Thank you, Mike. A really very helpful video!

Hii Mike
Its worked🙏🙏🤗 thank you
But i get weird scenario here
My Power supply was dead/faulty during bios flash
I setup the motherboard same step as this video then i press the bios button then red light start to light up
But i noticed fan of the power supply not spinning but red light is still blinking so i left the setup running not touches anything, after that procedure completed i assembled my PC but its not started, that time i assumed that my Power supply is faulty so i bring my pc to an PC store were technician says my power supply is faulty, everytime its ON for a second then its stops outputting power
So i requested replacement for power supply in amazon
Not its working with new power supply
I don't know how its worked but i am happy🤗🤗
I checked the bios version its same as i download(current letest version)
Also my motherboard says its ready for ""3rd gen ryzen ready" not mention 5000 ready, thats why i flashed letest bios
i followed all the steps and i have the same motherboard but my usb light isn’t blinking it’s just staying red what should i do?
if it never flashed and is solid red there is a short circuit on the computer, if it flashed a couple of times then solid it can't read the USB stick or possibly the file
Mate thank you for this video it worked.
Glad it helped
Awesome channel, thank you so much for your work, it is really helpful!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for this great and straightforward guide. Will this be the same on the B550-A Pro?
yes pretty much identical
Same question, thanks
Thanks a lot! lifesaver!
You're welcome!
Thank you for the great video!
Our pleasure! Hope it helped :-)
Thx a bunch. Building a new rig with this mb and a 5600x.
Hope it goes well for you :-)
el vídeo que estaba buscando!, muchísimas gracias.
thanks for watching
Una pregunta,e recomiendas descargar la versión más reciente o la misma versión que muestras en el vídeo?
Great video, thanks Mike.
Glad you enjoyed it
go through process 9 minutes and a solid red light. Had some other files on thumb drive maybe thats it.
could be? look for the flashing led to change speeds that is the difference between reading and writing
U save my life ❤i also have b550m pro and i got my 5600x with this motherboard and don't open my case😂
Thanks Mike
Ok for those that are doing it now, and i saw some comments that you could even do this with all the components installed, dont do that, take them all out including the new cpu, and then do it just with cpu and 24 pin connectors connected then it’ll work, i am saying this because i had done it like i said above :))
thanks for the heads up
@@mikesunboxing although i have a question, i did the update just like you in the vid but there was only the red light on and after i put it back together like cou ram gpu and everything else it turns on for a split second and then instant off and it wont start only if i pull the psu cable out and then back in but it does the same

Good morning across the pond. I have the msi mag B550 Tomahawk and a r5 3600 so I have not updated the bios. Like you advised.. It works well so no need to update.. at least that is how I took it. Peace
yep no need to update with the 3600
Thanks, Mike. Will try this later!
Did it work?
@@mikesunboxing I chickened out just used the stock BIOS version out of the box lol. However, is it possible that I'm getting high temps (60c minimal load and 80c~82c full load) on my CPU due to my BIOS not using the latest version? I just ordered a CPU cooler..
@@emkei7136 if you are using the stock cooler that is about right, although you could check the cooler is mounted level and fully screwed in
@@mikesunboxing I got a cheap cpu cooler and temps are now 35-40c idle and 60c while gaming! Thanks for being in touch with us viewers, Mike.

Good video as usual ; Mike .My question is can i get a 5 2600x on the board you are using`?Or does this only work with CPU.s that are supported ?My one is not. supported on the board.I have seen in forums of people getting the cpu working with the board.I liked your review of it.
It should do most b550 boards will accept 2600 2700 etc
Hey man, my BIOS version is from 09/03/2024 but I saw on the MSI website that the last version that came out was from 09/05/2024 and I wasn't able to find any BIOS version that was released on 09/03, I want to know if my version is the same just with different dates? The BIOS file from 05/09 has exactly the same name as the current version of my BIOS. My motherboard is an MSI B550M PRO VDH WIFI
yeah they sometimes have the bios release date and build dates out of sync by a few days, but it is the same bios
@@mikesunboxing thanks bro
Danke, mit USB 2.0 hat es funktioniert.
thanks for watching and commenting
now it works with my 5700G tysm
Thank you friend, you're a friend!
Thank you too

Subscribed as soon as I saw this video come up and it's working a charm (R5 5600 CPU is installed in my instance, not affecting the process). Once it's done and the CPU is in, do I just put a GPU in and hook it up to a monitor, and wait or is there another step?
after the flash just carry on and build as normal
Okay so I just got my mobo today and I did the exact step it did light up red blinking for like 20 second and shut off but no white led or nothing sooo did i do it right? 6:24
sounds like the BIOS file might not be extracted fully
@@mikesunboxing ill double check it again
@@mikesunboxing ok so in video it skip the part bout the battery do i have to battery back in or leave it out?
does power has to be on while taking battery out?
Okay I did it again now it blink and now staying solid red light for long period time
u saved my life thanks
I might be late and I don't know if you'll answer but I followed every step but when I press the button the red led starts flashing for a few seconds then turns off and nothing else happens
that means it can't read the USB stick or maybe the BIOS file
