Do they still do this because I can’t find it anywhere? When I go to fill out the form it sends me to one that doesn’t let me put in the product model and request a boot kit.
I had issues finding it as well. I would contact them directly to see if they still offer it. I figured they were having issues on the sight but I haven't heard of them discontinuing it, and there are links on other pages in their support sections, just that the link is dead so... no confirmation but maybe just contact AMD directly.
Edit. I had another look. And it seems they have a different process that perhaps may work. Try to register an AMD account. Then on the consumer returns page click the "Create new Claim" button: consumerreturns.amd.com/s/ There is a dropdown now for a "Bootkit" where you type in your product ID and serial number and continue on. Perhaps that will help you out. I will try to do an update if I can get the form to work and document the process.
If you are able to get into the Bios, you do not need to flash it this way. You can just flash it with the regular method where you extract the zip file onto a drive and load up the manager.
Hey , i got the B550-A PRO but i need to upgraded the bios but should i upgraded with the same versions that you do or could i do it with the 2024 versions without issue, i have a ryzen 7 5700g please someone help me
@@Kardall thank you so much man, i am going to do it with Version 7C56vAH (last one )and i was so scary to damage my motherboard,or maybe that version doesn't work wity my ryzen 7 5700g you ara so nice thanks
The Flash Bios Button turns off on this motherboard, but the Debug LED light stays on while the fans keep spinning on the PSU so... I think that answers your question :) It can take up to 5 minutes so.
Which Arduino are you using? I have no experience with Arduinos, and I want to learn. My goal is to enable a streamer to be able to control Arduino-controlled switches (that viewers have connected to the internet) using the twitch chat during a stream. It seems to me you have already achieved that, and I would like to replicate it. All I am starting with at this point is a Twitch account.
This is an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi. I also have a 4 Relay Module for this setup here (I have an 8 Relay Module that I am working on a Christmas light sync system hopefully will be ready for this coming season). Here are the links to the exact parts I ordered (Canada) and the Arduino model that I think I did get from Amazon as well but, it's best to shop around for deals yourself.

Need Input. :) Hard to help you when you give me absolutely nothing to go on. Did you use a Fat32 Formatted USB? (Try using the smallest one you can) And is it verified to be a working USB? Did you follow the remainder of the instructions for the ROM file etc..?
Yes. When the flash is done, you connect a monitor and connect things, then press the power or short the pins and see if you get a video signal through motherboard or a graphics card.
You need to remove any thermal paste from the CPU if you are using the included pre-applied thermal paste on the AIO. Not doing so may cause air bubbles and therefore heat buildup on the CPU. Yes you will need to use the GPU after flashback to verify it took. You can put the GPU wherever you want, that's up to you. When cleaning the thermal paste, a cloth or something that doesn't leave fibers is what you're looking for. Swabs are usually good for a final thing as long as you don't catch it on any of the other components on the CPU that are exposed. It may tear fibers off the q-tip. But if you're careful it usually isn't an issue. Good luck. Pretty much everything that you need to do is in this video, however I did a live stream a while ago (between this video and any newer ones) where I chat with viewers and answered questions, but it's a complete build from start to finish with chapter markers if you have time. Check it out, it may help you especially when it comes to cable management. I kind of try to talk out my thoughts when doing things so you can try to get some sort of a thought process behind my decisions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DtwheSQx-pw.html I edited a 2 1/2 hours stream down to about 45min.
I switched from g to x for cpu so I don’t got any integrated graphics so I’ll have to install the gpu to check the bios update, so once I’m done I’ll take out the gpu where should I put it? In the box?
The OEM cooler comes with a Boxed CPU. So make sure whoever/wherever you are buying it from, it is a normal retail package and not a tray CPU which will simply be the CPU itself. Most online retailers like Amazon will be selling you a Boxed CPU. But double check with whatever system you are ordering from.
And there is one last question. I have an aio, sooo. Idk what to do. Do I just install it? Or can I leva the cpu with out it while I just check the bios
You can install the aio sure, it will just be a little more difficult putting it into the case, but it is doable. Just put a box or something that is roughly the same height as the case on the side so you can rest the AIO on it while you install the motherboard. Otherwise you'll need another set of hands to hold the AIO for you while you install the motherboard in the case.
Also with the pen what did you do? The mother board was built and the psu was on or not? And u press the power+ stick on the panel? Did u press it down, up, right, or what? And did you press both the sticks that are labeled as power- and power+
The pen is a screwdriver. You use it to touch the power+/- pins on the motherboard to 'short them' which is the same functionality as pushing the power button on a case. It is how you jump start the motherboard to turning on outside of a case install.
Also is it even possible to build then flash bios cuz I’ve seen ppl do it with asus boards. Sorry for the inconvenience I just am doing and seeing this all for the first time sorry.
I have a ryzen 5 5700g so I do have intergrated graphics. What parts are absolutely needed to just start and get it in bios? And I don’t need cooling it can just be on top of box while in bios settings?
to do the actual test after the flash, you need: RAM, CPU, Cooler, 24-pin power, 8-pin CPU power, and your HDMI/DisplayPort from your motherboard connected to your monitor in this situation. The 5700G has Integrated graphics, so you don't have to connect your GPU. You can totally build the machine before doing all this stuff. It's just not necessary and can save time with removal and re-installation if you have to RMA components. That's the only reason that people do it. To verify that the system will POST (Power On Self Test) and get into a Bios screen. A stock cooler does not need to be removed after you test it, in order to throw the motherboard into the case. It shouldn't block any motherboard mounting points so, you should be able to access the screws.
Also I am using the XFX Speedster QICK319 RX 7700 XT so can I leave that out or do I have to hook this up too? And I believe once I build it on top of box I don’t need any cooling while I check? Btw you have been INSANELY helpful im going to sub ti you thanks alot.
If your CPU is not a "G series" assuming that it's a 5000 series CPU, then it won't have integrated graphics. So to get a video output after the Bios flash, you will need to at least connect the GPU to the motherboard and the power connectors for the GPU when you try to boot it up for the first time after the flash. It should go into Bios automatically or give you an 'unbootable media' type of message on the screen. But other than that, you should just need: 1. 24-Pin Power to the Motherboard 2. CPU 8-pin power for the flash 3. USB with the bios file renamed to MSI.ROM (not the zip file, the rom file is inside the Zip file so you need to extract it and rename it into the root folder of the Fat32 formatted USB drive) Then you plug power into the power supply, turn the switch on the back if it has one, and push the flash bios button on the motherboard as I did in the video. You do not need the CPU installed, the RAM or any drives connected to perform this other than the USB drive in the correct slot. Once the red light stops flashing, the Debug LED light will stay on, but the red light will stop flashing and turn off. Then you can turn off the power supply, or unplug it. Install your CPU and a cooler, RAM, connect your graphics card and it's required power cables. Connect a monitor to the GPU and then short the Power SW pins on the motherboard as indicated in the manual and on the motherboard (it's printed). I kind of show it in the video as well though it's tiny and hard to see. You should at least get a video signal at that point, to which you can proceed to power the system off and continue with your installation into the case as normal.
@@Kardall I have a ryzen 5 5700g so I do have intergrated graphics. What parts are absolutely needed to just start and get it in bios? And I don’t need cooling it can just be on top of box while in bios settings?
Ok, so just tell me what parts are needed for the pc to turn on and go into bios, and then if I’m correct after the flash update I just take the drive out and check if the update is installed and if it is I can go ahead and unplug everything stick it in case and then build from there? Also does the cpu need cooling when checking the update.
But as a first time builder I don’t want to build then take apart then build again but the system I’m going to buy requires bios flash so what should I do?
When you get the parts, you put the parts together on the motherboard box. Then do your flash update. When you put it in the case, the only thing you need to remove is the cables for the power and maybe your AIO but... you could probably manhandle it or if someone is there to hold the radiator while you mount the board in the case. You can leave the CPU installed, RAM, M.2 if you have one. If you are using a G series or doing this on a 7000/8000 series with iGPU then you can just leave out your graphics card, and POST the system with the motherboard HDMI instead. It should give you an output when it is successful. It can be done.
You should always do a POST test before installing it into the case. What would happen if the motherboard was faulty, and you had to remove it all, undoing all that work? :D It's a time saver. Plus, if it works outside the case, and doesn't inside, then that means something isn't connected properly or you broke something during the installation :D
That isn't even an option when you use the format tool in windows. That is generally setup when you install your OS onto your machine, not when you format a USB stick in the way we use it here. It's not a bootable drive, just storage.
@@KardallSorry if I misunderstood, English is not my native language. Yes, I know it isn't an option when you format the USB, but I have seen in some comments that it is important to have the USB in MBR (Master Boot Record) partition format to install BIOS with the flash button correctly. That's why I am asking if you have MBR or GPT in the USB, to know if it was true or not.
Well I think my psu is doa. Light flashes a couple times and the fan never starts. The key to life is complaining. As soon as you do then everything works just to spite you
Everyone says so, but it's actually well documented to get you up and running. The only thing is the flash bios button is annoying which is why I made the video. Even their documentation on their own website regarding it isn't that great. You have to hunt for the actual information amongst many bios things. Most of which refer to getting INTO the bios... which does not help :(
I have seen it take up to 15 minutes but usually less than 5 on most boards. The red light should be blinking steadily, and it should turn off when it is done. If it is still blinking now (8 hours later) there is a possibility that it has failed at some point for whatever reason.
You need to do this if the Bios you get is older than 7C56vA7 yes. Seeing as the launch version is 7C56vA0 then I would assume worst case scenario and assume you need to be prepared to do this.
Thinking about going to a 5950X from my 3700X on a ASRock B550M/ac with no button. Since I have a cpu already, I would do the update with 3700X in place and then just swap cpus?
Yup that would be the correct order of operations. When you get your CPU, update the bios to the latest one (you can do it before anyway) at least to the minimum requirement for support, and the swap CPUs. Make sure you have thermal paste to re-apply your cooler :)
1. Did you extract the bios rom file to the root folder of the flash drive? or did you just put the zip file on the drive? 2. Did you rename the extracted rom file to MSI.ROM (case sensitive)?
Hey, yeah i extracted the file and renamed it MSI.ROM, also i tried it with 2 different usb-sticks. Also converted them to mbr. For the PC-Specs: ryzen 5600 rx6750xt MSI-B550-A-Pro Seasonic G12 550W 80+ gold certified so i´ve been trying at least 6hrs+ tried everything also putting the specs in my other pc, everything works but when i assemble everything in the MSI Motherboard and try to start it up it will say EZ DEBUG CPU light on, so i´ve assumed that the cpu or RAM dont work, but on a ASrock motherboard they work perfectly, so i´ve been trying to update the Bios of the Msi-Motherboard without any success, the light won´t even come on if i press the flas bios botton. Does that mean the Motherboard doesnt recognize the usb-stick or what? i would appriciate some help :)@@Kardall
This board seems to be best value and bang for buck b550 with the features you get and fantastic VRMs however I can't help but wonder what made MSI opt for this greyscale looking BIOS instead of red/black colorway some higher end boards have. I know b450 chipset boards by MSI had to sacrifice Click Bios UI and maybe some features in order to accomodate Ryzen 3000 CPUs at the time due to their BIOS chip limitation being 16MB however here that is not the case, all B550 boards come with 32MB chip so the only reason I can think of is because PRO Series is general purpose board class, no fancy RGB and gamer aesthetics like MAG,MPG and MEG series.
Ya I am not a huge fan of RGB. It is the Devil's Toy. I just did a build with AM5 on a B650 and it's updated bios was Red. So ya, not sure what happened. If I remember correctly, I had a red bios with my X470 board and at some point they switched to grey... it's odd. *shrug* The AM5 board was the MSI B650 Gaming Plus Wifi, and it's actually not a bad motherboard. Very easy to update like this one and smooth sailing.
Yes. Just make sure you download at minimum Bios version 7C56vA9 which is when the 5700X support was added. Might as well just update it to 7C56vAF though which is the latest one as of this post.
I have a mobi fully hooked up to all components and in trying to flash bios, i didnt fornat the usb. My red flash led is staying on after flashing a few times.
It can literally take like 5 min + Also, as long as you have the MSI.ROM file for the motherboard in the root folder of the USB drive (lets say it is F:), it would be F:\MSI.ROM like was said in the video, then it should detect it as long as it's the correct bios file for that motherboard. You have to rename the file from the zip file you download from MSI. But eventually what should happen is the red light goes off and the white LED debug light will stay on.
Installing the processor is in the manual for the motherboard. Because I don't know your language, here is a link to the available languages if you do not have access to a physical manual yourself: www.msi.com/Motherboard/B550-A-PRO/support#manual It is on page 3, where it shows to line up the triangle on the CPU to the motherboard 'triangle'.
