You just saved me and my patience! I had NO idea this could happen to my brand new pc and I was panicking. Thank you so much for the info, I will try it right on!
I bought brand new PC cheap for 510$ Ryzen 5 5600g (Vega 7) 2x8GB 3200Mhz CL18 Patriot P300 250GB M2 NVME ASUS TUF GT301 CASE ASUS TUF B550M-E WIFI ASUS TUF 750B 750W PSU It usually costs 690$ here but I got a great deal I built many PCs in my life, never has this happened to me. All connected and no sign of life. No fan rpm spin since the psu has 0 rpm mode. The 3pin 120mm case fan didn't spin. The motherboard B550 doesn't have any led light or anything. So it appeared like the pc is totally dead. That I thought before I put in the cpu, which came the next day. However, I saw many videos of how people post/start their PCs without a cpu, even without ram or a drive! So I panicked and thought something is fried. Either the psu or the mobo. Then I plugged in my keyboard and the led on it lit up saying "updating' (SteelSeries APEX 5). Then I plugged in my phone thru USB and it charged both thru the mobo and front case USB ports. On USB 2 is had like 300mA and on USB 3.1 and 3.2 it had 1030mA charging speed. But still no post. Then I learned that perhaps it won't turn on without a CPU. The next day my 5600g came, I plugged it in and still nothing. However my fans started to spin and light RGB. Then I learned that perhaps the BIOS needs to be updated. I sure hope so. Will do it on a friend's Ryzen 3600 PC in about 2 hours. Will post back later to this comment. First, I'll try the flashback button option and if it doesn't work, will swap the CPUs. Damn I'm so stressed these past 2 days. If it doesn't work I'm efd.
This is good general information but if you are doing a tutorial please be more clear and specific - see some of the questions in the comments. For example, I wouldn't say you grab the latest/top of the list bios if it is a beta version - perhaps saying the last stable version would be more instructive. Also, please show which cords from the power supply need to be plugged in when you say, "power the motherboard". Finally it might be a good idea to share that you don't need the CPU or RAM installed to perform a bios flash on new builds. Lots of questions unanswered in the comments b/c the video, although well meaning, lacks the clarity this topic deserves.
I don't think it's necessary to be mentioned since if you're going to download a beta version there's a disclaimer there. Experienced people would know to avoid this and amateurs will learn about this when reading the disclaimer (if they want to accept the risk it's up to them). Furthermore if you follow this guide step by step you don't need to know that CPU or RAM is not needed for a BIOS update since it's irrelevant when he's doing it by this method. On the other hand if you don't know how to plug a 24 pin cable from the PSU to the Mobo, or install a CPU then this video ISN'T for you.
Gonna try this tomorrow. Exactly what I was looking for. I seriously thought I was going mad. I checked RAM then CPU and GPU.. //Edit: Thanks again so damn much. Worked like a charm
make sure to follow these steps This is what is required for the BIOS flashback feature: Create an MSDOS (MBR) partition table - this is probably what you mean by returning to its original state. I believe Windows 10 defaults to a GPT partition table. I can confirm that this will not work with BIOS flashback. Create a single FAT32 partition Rename the BIOS file with BiosRenamer Plug ATX and CPU power cables into motherboard. Don't connect a CPU, GPU, or RAM. Plug flash drive into the designated USB port (see manual, back panel shows a white box around the correct port - it's next to the BIOS flashback button) Turn on the PSU and press the BIOS flashback button. If it works, it'll repeatedly flash red for a few minutes and you'll see activitiy on the USB drive. If it dosen't work, it'll flash red for a few seconds and then turn off (this is what happens with a GPT partition table).
So when you mean create a MS-DOS (MBR) partition table do you mean I take a flash drive and convert it into an MBR and then download the updated motherboard version onto it?
Thank you so much, I was getting random restarts with no BSOD. I think this has fixed the issue I’ll update after a week to let you know what’s going on and to help anyone who might stumble across this video with the same issue I was having.
@@hakametal that was the problem at the launch of amd b550 boards. But many of the boards(i acctually dont know one without)has the BIOS flashback feature.
I have literally this exact issue. Using a similar mobo, Asus Rog Strix B550-E with the same RAM. I built my pc using ryzen 5800, put everything together and have the exact same issue. Blank screen with all the parts lighting up, fans running and a steady orange light claiming a DRAM issue. Did the RAM swap test and to no avail. Also with a Q code of 0d. This video made me feel at ease and I will be giving the bios flash update a go later today. I will let you know if it solves my similar issue. Also for anybody else reading this if you are not sure if your new mobo has the most recent bios version you can check by looking at the last 4 digits on the serial sticker on your mobo and then verifying it on the ASUS website under CPU/Memory with your mobo.
jesus christ. i spent 3 days setting together my new x5800 build. Never got it to even boot! Nothing worked, then i saw this guide. I upgraded the bios like you suggested and its working perfectly now. HUGE thanks man!
Thanks dude, short sweet and very clear. Seriously took me a few hours to find a helpful video that didn't piss me off with how much they talk about other things other than possible issues.
Thank you so much! I thought I screwed something up! Anyway the cycling thing, the ram light came on immediately so I thought it was still hosed but then I saw it go to red, to green to white and then green and then it came up. Thank you again.
What to do when even bios flashback doesnt bring me to post screen, everything spins and everything is light up but it looks like its dead or something because screen doesnt turn on at all
Yeah, I just used the bios flashback button with the latest bios preloaded on my usb stick. Worked flawlessly. Also, I figured out that the problem wasn't my cpu, but with the AIO cooler. It was too tight and was causing some weird problems with the cpu, loosened it a bit and everything worked fine.
man, i was looking up forums and the asus website and was not successful after watching several youtube videos, some by content creators and some by asus, and urs the only one that made sense, thank you.
I have the exact same problem, but this solution does not work for me. The blinking light on the asus bios flashback button just gets all lighted up, no blinking... this means the bios update didn't function as it should. I tried diferent usb drives, and verified all the steps to this... same result. I have an asus x570 crosshair 8 hero. Did someone found the solution to this? i also tried to restore the bios and it's all the same
I have an Asus B550-f, and have a yellow led and yellow/green LED when I turn on my Mobo Do I have to Bios flashback? Also do I have to remove my SSD, Processor and Ram when I updated my Bios?
If your CPU is installed already, DO NOT take it out. There's a better chance of YOU damaging the CPU, cooling unit or thermal conductivity than the BIOS update doing the same.
PRO TIP - For a lot of Asus motherboard, You only actually need the motherboard and the PSU. The CPU, Memory and GPU actually aren't required. However, with the B550-I Gaming (and potentially other Asus motherboards) you do need a CPU. Hope this helps you out! PS... First 😉
Wait so I’m building my pc and I got the rog stix x570e mobo and I got my hands on the 5800x. I’m still not building my pc for a couple weeks but when I get my mobo I can do this process before? Or should I build my whole pc and then before I turn it on do this process?
@@TyMeyerz it's up to you really. You woukd be able to do this before everything else arrives - all you technically need is the PSU and the Mobo. ... If it were me, I'd want to make sure the system can post after the process and everything went smoothly. So I'd personally wait. Hope this helps!
My motherboard doesn't have the feature with the button to flash. it can't be done on my Asus Prime X570P motherboard, but I called AMD and they have a free bootkit they can send you if you need an older processor to flash the bios, for a duration of 10 days. Good luck to you all
When the green light stops flashing? It's stopped flashing but it's solid green. Is it finished? Some say it should be solid green but Asus says it goes out! Which is it? It's been 30 minutes and if I pull the drive will it be bricked or ready? I guess I will let you all know. What a hassle.
Hello, I’m building my first computer, I have a Asus rog strix x570-E and an AMD 5900x. How do i do the bios update? Should i do before or after i finished to build my computer with all components in? Thanks! :)
One question, which cables do you need to plug in into the motherboard before you flash the bios? 24pin I know, but do you need to plugin the 8pin cable for cpu power or not?
This is a LOT easier than sending out for an older AMD chip and waiting for weeks just to get your PC up and running. Glad to see Asus making this all an easy process.
for 2 days now i am tring to do that bios update on Aorus x570 motherboard... the motherboard just not updating via the Qflash button.. nothing happened ... it's so enjoying the way they made it 🙄 I might need to update with older CPU first...
Do you think it can help with my 0d qcode ? When i try to turn on my pc everything going well but wont start to the bios... I only have a black screen with the qcode on the motherboard and the light for the DRAM on :/
Regardless if it helps, it's always wise to have the latest BIOS. So, go on ahead an try it. 0D code is DRAM and the DRAM light you said it lights on, so, probably a bad BIOS config for your ram. So, yes, flash your BIOS with a new one and try again.
Brilliant video you earned a sub off me i am trying to do as much research as i can before building my first PC i was going to go with 5600x in a TUF x570 Plus but because of the lack of information about bios status out of the box in Early 2021 and no Flashback option, im gonna go for the B550 F and just flash the BIOS
i did everything exactly and my computer won’t boot up! there’s power on the computer cause the leds of my motherboard are on but i would click the power button and it won’t turn on what do i do????
Hi thanks for the video, just to ask on part of the flashback steps on the motherboard, does the processor need to be installed or removed? Another question, does Asus Tuf b550m-plus wifi motherboard needs bios flashback update to pair with ryzen 5 5600g?
Lmao i tried resetting the ram, gpu, n even trying a new psu and i realized my old cpu worked and now i know i need to update my freaking bios. Thanks for the video
You didn't mention whether you need to remove the CPU first in order to do the flashback, or you simply leave the CPU on the motherboard to do the flashback. This is important as if it requires you to remove the CPU, then it's better to do the flashback before a full installation. Or else, you may mess it up as you need to apply thermal paste on it and install the CPU fan then you may have to remove and later re-install the CPU with paste on it.
As long as that flash drive will be readable on a non Mac PC then you should be fine. For AMD, DO NOT use a USB 3.0 for the BIOS flashing. It may prove unstable and could brick your motherboard. Use a USB 2.0 and I suggest at least like a 16GB. They're super duper cheap.
I think I have the same issue, got a boot, but keyboard doesn't work so can't get into bios. I have a 5600x and b550 f gaming. If you found a solution, please let me know. Otherwise I have to ask a friend for his 3600 and I don't really want to do that
The fix for me was using the bios update on a USB stick and using the flashback button on the motherboard. Make sure the power supply is plugged in but don't turn on the PC.
I got an MSI x570 mpg gaming plus MB with a bios flash button and I knew that I would have to get the new bios into it to run the new Ryzen 5000' but as I got all my parts I just started building up... In the end I remembered that I 4got to flash bios, So I searched the net 2 days, if I can use the flash bios button with all parts installed on the MB Wich I couldn't find anywhere.. all said something like ah why are you asking this you don't need to plug in ram or cpu to get the job done. And so on and on.. I don't get it why here are so much hatin' juice' who can't be proud to got the info that we don't have to remove the fugging tower cooler which were really hard to get the screw's in So here >I just got the exact information about what I wanted to know ;)
Please make of 2021 version of Motherboard Vendors RGB software comparision. And this time please show the dynamic effects too. So that viewers could see that if the RGB reacts to music than how responsive or well is the reaction. And also, this time include the ram RGB from popular brand like a Corsair Vengeance RGB pro kit just to show how well is it compatible with all 4 vendor softwares.
Have to point out that the USB port utilized by this system, not is located by any sane logic on some motherboard models. - Just Read the manual, as it may require a USB port located as far away possible, from the reflash activation button. An error is indicated by a tiny led , If this signal light stop pulsating after only 4-10s, going steady.
@TechLens Im upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5600x in December, it is currently November and i am using a Ryzen 5 3600. Can i install this update onto my Mobo now and continue using my 3600 until i get my 5600x? or should i wait until i get my new cpu? Id appreciate the feedback. Thanks.
I’m looking forward to build a Asus b550-E gaming with a Ryzen 7 5800x, do you guys think I should update the BIOS after I build it all together, or before? I have been thinking about this for a while, and I am generally confused.
Check your bios version before, and compare the version number to what is listed on the motherboard website, if the cpu was stable on a version number lower than yours, no update needed. Otherwise, you will want to update the bios before installing your new cpu.
So I have this problem the built is finished and wont boot. My question do I need to Take off the Processor and the ram to use the Bios Flashback??? I have tried and it didnt work blinked 5 times and then the light stayed on . I turned the system off and tried again. Every video I have seen they have no Processor and ram. So please let me know if I need to take everything off the board... Been a week of frustration.
hi what if you dont have a cpu as you are building a pc new and you just have a new cpu without an old one is this what it is for? also what amount of gb should your usb contain?
Thnx mate, but 5600x + Asus TUF GAMING B450M-PRO II doesn't work anyway !!! Only when I inserted 1600 processor I was able to flash the BIOS using the traditional method
You just saved me and my patience! I had NO idea this could happen to my brand new pc and I was panicking. Thank you so much for the info, I will try it right on!

Yes having same problem have u found a fix
Regardless if it helps, it's always wise to have the latest BIOS. So, go on ahead an try it.
0D code is DRAM and the DRAM light you said it lights on, so, probably a bad BIOS config for your ram.
So, yes, flash your BIOS with a new one and try again.

Didnt work "Selected file is not a proper BIOSI" allways this message
Brilliant video you earned a sub off me i am trying to do as much research as i can before building my first PC i was going to go with 5600x in a TUF x570 Plus but because of the lack of information about bios status out of the box in Early 2021 and no Flashback option, im gonna go for the B550 F and just flash the BIOS
Thank you. Everyone shows how to update from BIOS. Not much help when it does not load at all. Thank u so much.
i did everything exactly and my computer won’t boot up! there’s power on the computer cause the leds of my motherboard are on but i would click the power button and it won’t turn on what do i do????
same here could you fix it?
Try flashing again with a previous BIOS version.
That could have happen because the flashing process didn't completely finished.
Hi thanks for the video, just to ask on part of the flashback steps on the motherboard, does the processor need to be installed or removed? Another question, does Asus Tuf b550m-plus wifi motherboard needs bios flashback update to pair with ryzen 5 5600g?
Did you ever get yours working? I have the same mobo... Can't get it to work
For those asking - the wallpaper is by an artist named Tony Skoer
Lmao i tried resetting the ram, gpu, n even trying a new psu and i realized my old cpu worked and now i know i need to update my freaking bios. Thanks for the video
You are such a life saver thank you so much!
Bro I was tripping when my pc kept crashing, thanks alot
Can you flash the bios with the cpu in the motherboard or do i need to take it out?
You didn't mention whether you need to remove the CPU first in order to do the flashback, or you simply leave the CPU on the motherboard to do the flashback. This is important as if it requires you to remove the CPU, then it's better to do the flashback before a full installation. Or else, you may mess it up as you need to apply thermal paste on it and install the CPU fan then you may have to remove and later re-install the CPU with paste on it.
For a new builder like me, can you install the Bios on a USB using a Mac, and how much storage and what type of USB is it?
As long as that flash drive will be readable on a non Mac PC then you should be fine. For AMD, DO NOT use a USB 3.0 for the BIOS flashing. It may prove unstable and could brick your motherboard. Use a USB 2.0 and I suggest at least like a 16GB. They're super duper cheap.
I love that live wallpaper. How does one get their hands on it?
My issue is I’m not able to get into the bios. My keyboard is lighting but no key works at all.
I have a 5800x and a rog b550e Gaming
I think I have the same issue, got a boot, but keyboard doesn't work so can't get into bios. I have a 5600x and b550 f gaming. If you found a solution, please let me know. Otherwise I have to ask a friend for his 3600 and I don't really want to do that
Same issue here with 5800x and B550-Plus
rip same....
The fix for me was using the bios update on a USB stick and using the flashback button on the motherboard. Make sure the power supply is plugged in but don't turn on the PC.
@@olejason can confirm , done the same , finally got my buddies new PC going
Appreciate ya dude. I’m excited to pair a cheaper b450m with a new 5600x!
I got an MSI x570 mpg gaming plus MB
with a bios flash button and I knew that I would have to get the new bios into it to run the new Ryzen 5000'
but as I got all my parts I just started building up... In the end I remembered that I 4got to flash bios, So I searched the net 2 days, if I can use the flash bios button with all parts installed on the MB
Wich I couldn't find anywhere.. all said something like ah why are you asking this you don't need to plug in ram or cpu to get the job done. And so on and on.. I don't get it why here are so much hatin' juice' who can't be proud to got the info that we don't have to remove the fugging tower cooler which were really hard to get the screw's in
So here >I just got the exact information about what I wanted to know ;)
My light does not blink and turns solid green immediately. I don’t know how to fix it. Dram light is on. Cannot update bios
Please make of 2021 version of Motherboard Vendors RGB software comparision. And this time please show the dynamic effects too. So that viewers could see that if the RGB reacts to music than how responsive or well is the reaction. And also, this time include the ram RGB from popular brand like a Corsair Vengeance RGB pro kit just to show how well is it compatible with all 4 vendor softwares.
Saved me! Thank you!!
Does this work with CPU already installed or does it matter if there is no CPU in socket yet?
I got the same question...
What if you have an Asus board with no flashback button?
Me too :(
TYSM DUDE YOU SAVED ME!
Have to point out that the USB port utilized by this system, not is
located by any sane logic on some motherboard models. - Just Read the manual,
as it may require a USB port located as far away possible, from the reflash
activation button. An error is indicated by a tiny led , If this signal
light stop pulsating after only 4-10s, going steady.
Is it okay if i do it with 5600x in the socket or do i need to remove it?
The Usb device that was plugged into your motherboard. what was that? was it powering the board? @TechLens
Do I have to remove my Ryzen 5000 series CPU to be able to install the new BIOS update?
Thanks dude its what i want
@TechLens Im upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5600x in December, it is currently November and i am using a Ryzen 5 3600. Can i install this update onto my Mobo now and continue using my 3600 until i get my 5600x? or should i wait until i get my new cpu? Id appreciate the feedback. Thanks.
Thank you Bro 🙏
I’m looking forward to build a Asus b550-E gaming with a Ryzen 7 5800x, do you guys think I should update the BIOS after I build it all together, or before? I have been thinking about this for a while, and I am generally confused.
Check your bios version before, and compare the version number to what is listed on the motherboard website, if the cpu was stable on a version number lower than yours, no update needed. Otherwise, you will want to update the bios before installing your new cpu.
So I have this problem the built is finished and wont boot. My question do I need to Take off the Processor and the ram to use the Bios Flashback???
I have tried and it didnt work blinked 5 times and then the light stayed on . I turned the system off and tried again. Every video I have seen they have no Processor and ram. So please let me know if I need to take everything off the board... Been a week of frustration.
took 35 minutes for me, or even more till it stopped flashing
Your lucky to be getting warning lights.
Bios updated but, board lights up but nothing else.😞
Faulty Board ?
(ASU’s B550 E-gaming)
hi what if you dont have a cpu as you are building a pc new and you just have a new cpu without an old one is this what it is for? also what amount of gb should your usb contain?
I'm still confused
Thnx mate, but 5600x + Asus TUF GAMING B450M-PRO II doesn't work anyway !!! Only when I inserted 1600 processor I was able to flash the BIOS using the traditional method
