Navigating a BIOS can be intimidating. Tweak the wrong setting and you can brick your system. Luckily there are many safeguards that can prevent this. Also, once you know what settings you do need to change, it can be really easy to get to them. To get the most out of your system, you’ll want to enter the BIOS and make a few tweaks such as setting XMP (also known as D.O.C.P. for AMD CPUs), turning on Resizable Bar, and enabling Precision Boost Overdrive (again for AMD CPUs).
Today, I’m going to give a tour of the MSI B550M Pro-VDH WIFI BIOS as well as cover how to update the BIOS using the M-Flash feature. Welcome to the Middle of Knowhere.

Thanks for Really helpful video, I recently bought this and I want to ask one thing, for wifi and Bluetooth there are two drivers (Intel and amd), which one to install?

I just build my pc and I installed windows 11 on it but no WiFi is showing up for it. I went into the bios and turned on WiFi only and still no WiFi what can be the problem.

@JNARD0 Год назад

if i flash the bios with the 5th gen one would i put the new cpu in after the flash or before

@bgnPrinceton Год назад

If you use M-Flash from within the BIOS, you need a compatible CPU to be able to get into the BIOS in the first place. This is known as a successful POST (power on self test). So if your particular board's BIOS doesn't already support 5th gen Ryzen, you need an older CPU to use M-Flash. You could however use the BIOS Flashback feature on this motherboard to flash a BIOS version that supports 5th gen Ryzen. In that case, you need NO CPU at all, just power to the motherboard. Good luck!

@maxyl12 Год назад

what if i replace new cmos battery... will the bios be also reset.. then updating again to upgrade bios? I am planning to use ryzen 5 5600g

@MiddleofKnowhere Год назад

Yeah if you take out the CMOS battery and then let the computer sit for 10-15 min before replacement, or just jump the clear cmos jumper then replace, your bios will reset.

@2xshadowx253 Год назад

Hey man can you please answer my question I want to use the ryzen 5 5600g with this mother board bit in dont see the integrated graphics settings in advanced options I want to set the memory share to 2gb for the apu.

@MiddleofKnowhere Год назад

Try going here: Settings, Advanced, then Integrated Peripherals. Check out the 5:55 mark. I'm not 100% sure, but the setting for your shared memory might be there. Let me know!

I think it can max at 2GB. Do t quote me in it. You can adjust it though based on how much Ram you have.

dUDE : i AM HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE BIOS UPDATE BUTTON. Ok so with nothing on the motherboard. only 8pin and 24 pin plugged in. it only flashes a few times then stays soild red light it will never update the bios. it on a 2020 nov 24 bios but it will not take anything above. i also built it up and tried Mflash with NO success. it doesnt even see the file in the usb drive. i have to of the excat same boards and nothing will work to be able to update the bios so i can use a 5600g cpu.

@bgnPrinceton Год назад

Are you sure you have the correct BIOS for your motherboard? I recently had a board very similar to this one, except it's full name was B550M Pro-VDH Wifi6, the 6 being the difference. Notice how his motherboard name is different. I could never find a BIOS that my board would accept. When I finally tried to force a BIOS from this board using good old-fashioned DOS utility, I was met with an error saying the BIOS chip was write-protected. That's when I gave up! :D On the worldwide MSI site, they list a B550M Pro-VDH Wifi (CEC) board, which I believe is used only across the pond. Comparing the two I noticed that the CEC board uses a Wifi6 Intel chip, and also has different PCIE slots. I concluded that at some point MSI created a hybrid of these two original boards but did not create BIOS updates for that special board. My board was part of a barebones MSI system, which I know use different BIOS files. Like I said, tried them all and all were rejected. When I did try the special barebones system BIOS, it looked like it would accept it as it recognized the file as valid, but after selecting it the system would advise me that upgrading the BIOS would prevent me from going back to an older BIOS, I would accept and hit ok (enter), after which the system would do nothing. Never have encountered so much BIOS nonsense!

@agoogleuser9025 Год назад

@@bgnPrinceton Hi! Just curious where did you find the "WIFI6" indicated? Did yours came in its own box?

@bgnPrinceton Год назад

@@agoogleuser9025 It's labeled that way on the pcb, just under the m.2 heatsink. Also, when I built up the system using a 1st gen Ryzen CPU, the BIOS settings screen listed it as that "Wifi6", unlike just "Wifi" as seen in this video where they are working with the retail version of this board. My board came installed in the barebones system. After getting over the frustration, I pondered the situation a little more and realized that it's likely that an older BIOS version (the barebones systems only have two BIOS versions, and the second is relatively old by now) may be all that's needed for all Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. It is a 500 series chipset after all. I was thinking it needed to be much more recent, twisting the fact that new BIOS versions that were finally released for the 300 series chipset boards. So I bought another barebones system after sending two back. This time using the BIOS Flashback button I got the light to blink 15 times and then stop, so I'm not sure if it updated successfully or not. BIOS updates usually take much longer than about 15 seconds, but I've never used a Flashback button before.

Hey there! I want to ask you something, So i was just building my new pc, with b550m pro vdh wifi, so the problem is, when im installing windows, my ssd cant be detected. But in the BIOS, the ssd is detected. So im stuck in this problem, i cant install windows. Can someone help me?

@MiddleofKnowhere Месяц назад

Try making sure no other storage is plugged in when I stalling windows so it o Lu sees the drive you want to install the OS on. Another thing and probably first is you need to initialize or format the drive at install. Basically the OS installer can’t see it yet. Try these. The final thing is you’ll need to get disk drivers and put them on a usb and plug they on when you go to install.

@cooperstandring 9 месяцев назад

am i able to do all this while my cpu is already installed into my motherboard or should i flash the motherboard before i install my cpu into the motherboard?

@MiddleofKnowhere 9 месяцев назад

You can flash the bios after everything has been installed. The only reason to do it before hand is if there are compatibility issues where the cpu won’t work until a later bios has been installed.

@cooperstandring 9 месяцев назад

@MiddleofKnowhere yeah that's what's wrong with my Motherboard and cpu it tells me that it won't be compatible unless I have the latest Motherboard bios update so does that mean I should do it before installing my pc and if so can I still install all the other parts

@kimo4530 5 месяцев назад

how do u know what bios firmware is in my motherboard before buying it

@MiddleofKnowhere 5 месяцев назад

Unless there is a sticker on the BIOS chip (Like ASRock does) or a marking in the user manual or elsewhere, the only way I've been able to do it is contact the mobo maker's customer support and provide them with the serial number and date of purchase. MSI responded to me when I did that.

What slot do I plug the USB in

@MiddleofKnowhere Год назад

The I/O shield should have a bios marking on it. Also consult the manual specifically. I also think I might touch on it in my overview video of the motherboard in the rear I/O section of the vid.

@Francisco1234Cruz День назад

@@MiddleofKnowhere it should be the bottom usb 2.0 connecyor with a almost blank usb except the bios update file named "msi.rom"

@michaelwirsche8889 3 месяца назад

So if you are going to make a video on flashing the bios might mention that the file name should be changed in the beginning of the video instead of the end of it. After you bottle neck everyone to pull everything apart to flash the main board then re build their pc.

@hukesama8389 Месяц назад

@@Mo-kl4fb I have a similar issue but I can't even use the update AMD wifi driver method when the wifi device doesn't even show up in the device manager. The updater will just say there is no compatible wifi driver. It's weird that during windows 11 installation process the mobo does detect wifi but it's after the full installation, the wifi just doesn't exist anymore. Did the clean reinstall still gave me the same result.
