thank you so much I'm trying to take in as much tips as I can before I buy a new CPU and Motherboard. So when you found out it didnt work was it after you plugged the usb in and hit the button? at what point did it not work. The main reason I ask is that I want to make sure I dont do any irreversible damage to the motherboard. It seems pretty simple to do but I'm afraid something small does work out and messes up the whole thing. I would love to know please!
Bless this one comment. You are the only person to contradict the FAT32 messages and this saved me a huge headache because I could NOT get it to work with my Z490 board.
I have the same MB and I’m currently in the process of making my new build. I also have a Ryzen 5000 cpu and was going crazy trying to find out how to update the BIOS for this particular MB because the flash button wasn’t on the usb slot section.....didn’t know the flash button can be on different locations on MBs until I saw this video. Thanks for making this vid, helped out a TON ! You just earned a new subscriber right here for sure.
Thank you very much! You and another channel were the only ones that actually covered this well. I wish more creators did tutorials like this because it's actually hard to find people online that cover these topics. Now if i could find people that covered different motherboards and this process, that would be great, along with updating the ME firmware and NVIDIA Display drivers.
what cpu do you have with that board? i have the d-p version and just ordered a ryzen 5 5600x ... will i have to do this update or am i just good to go
Does anyone know what is statistically the least likely time for power to go out in a neighborhood? Power goes out in my place noticeably at least once every two weeks...I would be pretty nervous to do this update.
Brilliant video, thanks. Nearly threw my motherboard away when I couldn't achieve boot and then found your video. I just sent back the replacement motherboard😊. Thanks a lot!
hey sir, I have gigabyte z790 UD AX motherboard with i7 13700k, ddr5 5200mhz ram. recently I bought a WD sn850x 1tb nvmv ssd, after install it its showing in device manager or disk management, but in the bios msg showing there is no nvmv ssd. I try update bios but problem same. I create a partition in disk manager or try to install window 11 in new nvmv ssd. window install in new sd or work well with all software. but still in the bios msg showing there is no nvmv ssd. any idea how to fix it ??? thanks..
Hi , I have a doubt In my laptop , if I turn on bios comes Ssd not loading So repair guy said ssd is the problem so I bought ssd and asked him to change Now he is saying motherboard is gone but my bios appears . Will bios screen appear if mother board is faulty
what if the motherboard support the latest gen like the i5 13500 and the motherboard like the MSI tomahawk b760 which does not have a bios flash back button? Or do i even need a bios flash back for this one?
im not a fond of upgrading my pc like this. theres a case when even after bios update, the said cpu doesnt boot. i think upgrading or pc purchasing should be when everything is stable on the market and is confirm to work on each default mobo.
Big thanks for this video. I just purchased a motherboard that was advertised as being compatible with Ryzen 9 CPU's and when I opened the box there was a note on top telling me that it would only be compatible after I updated the BIOS. Had me doing quite a bit of searching to figure out how tf I was supposed to update the BIOS without a compatible CPU.
Hey man great vid i am a new pc builder im wondering im going to get the ryzen 9 5950x can i just use it straight away or do i have to still update bios on this motherboard.
My mobo is gigabyte a520i ac with 5600G processor. I put my flashdisk and already formatted to fat32 as default then plug in to bios usb (white).. but when I hold Q-Flash button, it didn't has an indicator for updating the bios, didn't blinking :(
i looked for the motherboard with white back... additionally I wanted to have at least 2 usb-c connectors on back + 1 on front ... and this version DP thanks to you is now for me the obvious choice... regarding the bios update button.. i think it's wiser to have it inside your case :) so your small kids will not push it while discovering the world :D so this motherboard should also recieved "Child Friedly" certificate ;) thank you for your job with this ... I was wondering if not to get Asus ProArt Creator, but the only advantage wich I will not even benefit from now is thunderbolt 4, on the other side - no wifi + bluetooth.. black backplate :/ is there anything better there with Asus Creator besides thunderbolt?
If suppose I break a motherboard bios,is there any solution bro...please explain because in my gigabyte b550 aorus pro V2 after insert the usb for bios update and when i press the flash button it get break down and my bios update continuously without stop....
I don't think that my mobo supports q-flash plus. The CPU I have is only supported after a bios update. Am I SOL and have to buy a either a new mobo (that already supports the cpu I have) or buy an older CPU (that the mobo supports) to be able to flash the bios to be able to support the newer processor?
hi , so i just got a gigabyte b550m ds3h, and the r5 5600, i was wondering if i should just update the bios to the latest version available or just the version for the ryzenn 5000 cpus
Would this process be the same with a Gigabyte Aorus B660 Pro AX D4 mATX? Would me doing this flashing to the latest bios make it compatible with a 13th gen intel CPU?
Hello Tech Notice! I'm currently having issue with the computer not posting. I think it has to do with the bios since I checked most of the troubleshooting you should do to make sure the computer part is not the issue. Now here is the thing I don't know what the Gigabyte Aorus Elite version it is and I don't know which version I should start of with before I move on to the latest bios if that mobo. Thanks
So just to be clear.....when updating the motherboard, is it finished after the flashing? Or wait until all lights turn off? the double 00's and DRAM are off?
this didnt work for me, i followed exactly how you have done although i just stop flashing it did not show 00, i then tried it again and it does not flash at all when i press QFLASH please help.
@@JacquelinGaribay yes I did, it may be obvious but you need to only have the cpu and power supply cable connected no other hardware can be connected it will not work
I love that with asus ezflash 3 you can just update directly via the internet, no need for USB stick and dl a file to it, super easy, idk if this is mostly Asus giving this option!?
on the two ASUS B550 boards I had to flash for my Ryzen 5000 series CPU, I had to format the USB-drive using diskpart to restore the Master Boot record, otherwise the BIOS flash wouldn't work. I wasted days the first time bc the LED of the mainboard told me the flash was successful and the PC didn't post at all.
Hey man how did you know u have to do a bios? DOES IT SAy what version the motherboard is on on the box ? Like should I wait to put the pc together and do bios first?
You are literally the best on the planet Im only 14 years old and i decided to try to make a pc for my birthday. I waited very long for the things to come and when they came i was super excited. I built it and wondered why it wasn't posting. I researched and came across you. Thank you so much. Fastest subscribe ever.
Is there a way to check if my PSU is working? I connected everything and plugged the USB in but my MB does not start to flash , regardless how long I hold down the button
@@cherie1204 yeah - I went through a cpl of things even bought a second MB bc I thought it may was broken but at the end I double checked how I connected the cables on the PSU. I did a small mistake there
thanks so much! starting my first build soon but i learned my motherboard wouldn’t support my cpu and i was desperately trying to find a video to help. I found another but it was a bit confusing as the guy showed it with an already build computer instead of just the psu and motherboard
So I have a question I have all my parts? But I'm a first time builder and I was just curious. Should I update my bios before? I put my CPU and all my components in or does it really not matter??
Sir may i ask.. im using same mobo. After 2 mos I encountered blue screen with error CLOCK WATCH TIMEOUT, do you have any idea or tutorial how to fix this?
Hey everyone, maybe someone in the comment section could help me out. I currently have the F10 update version of the Gigabyte Vision b550 d. I followed the steps accordingly for the latest update but when I check the motherboard version on the command prompt it still shows I have the F10 version. If someone knows a solution it would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.
is it bad i forgot to take my ram out of the slots before i flashed the bios? i don’t wanna damage the ram but i also don’t wanna take it out while the pc is flashing the bios
How long does this process normally take? My board is stuck on 00 debug code and the D Ram led is solid now for ten minutes. Using the Gigabyte Vision B550 D-P board. Q Flash stopped blinking a while ago now.
@@JacquelinGaribay Nope... I just powered down eventually and hoped for the best. Fortunately nothing bad happened. I changed the BIOS version to the latest and it worked fine and took 5 minutes... BIOS version was the problem... If the debug code is 00 the I believe the MoBo is error free and right to turn off...
@@neonzeon4236 having same problem... after your powered down, did you change the bios without the cpu again or did you move forward with the build and update bios with cpu?
@@wearethetelevision I powered down with no worries... 00 debug code was showing so I guessed it was fine it was... I just turned it off, got the most up to date bios, and started again... No CPU... I also changed my USB stick to one with a flashing red light when it is reading...
I used to stay up to date, BIOS, Chipset, etc… During a new build, I bricked my first board. The cost of replacement was so much that it traumatized me, and I haven’t flashed or updated again in nearly 15 years. NOTE: at work, I run Dell or HP exe BIOS updates all the time; not my money if they brick, but not one has failed yet.
I need to do this for my first build. I actually started doing it yesterday and I was going to update bios but my motherboard was dead on arrival. At first I thought I bricked the MB but I was grounded and put the correct atx pins and inserted the usb. But MB was dead so luckily my new MB is coming today and Amazon refunded my original payment in full so basically I got a free MB
Think it’s working be CAREFUL to get the correct motherboard lol. I have the b550 vision D-P. Tried to push the bios for the d not the d-p. Luckily it didn’t take it. It flashed and the red leds never turned on. I quickly got the correct bios and everything is happening as the video shows and looks like it just completed time to toss all my hardware on and get this thing bootedddd
I'm busy building a PC using this B550 Vision D-P, a Ryzen 5900, and a Corsair 5000D Airflow, all chosen after watching your great videos. And then I stumbled across this... So I should remove the CPU before doing this? And the RAM, and unplug the drives? Many thanks!
@@JetWabi Ideally before, but I did it after installing the CPU - I didn't know about this whole BIOS thing. In fact I've done it several times since with no ill effect. Once after I'd put in a new drive and the thing refused to reboot - I flashed the BIOS and it was working again. So keep the USB stick somewhere safe. Two things I also didn't know is that the MB will only run the GPU at top speed if the second PCIe slot is left unoccupied, and you can't use the third PCIe slot if you're also going to use the second M2 slot. It's in the manual, but not made clear when you buy it. But I bet similar is true of other boards. So, big GPU, and nothing else for me...
@@JetWabi I'd already bought two M2s, so I could have sent one back, but opted not to. I would have used the third PCIe for a sound card I have from a previous install. However this MB has got an optical sound out (I hope the software sees it) and with two USB Cs I can buy a sound breakout box running from one of the Cs. My applications are editing video, some of it 4k and some 3D, so I like to spread the files around a bit so they aren't all loading from one drive. Particluarly 3D which would have left on one M2 and right on the other. They'll be writing to a separate SSD. Also two slow HDDs are for long-term storage. I also want to play around with AI, so fast access storage is an advantage - two M2s will be faster than one. Just my choices really. 😉
Hey i have the same motherboard and a 5600X. My button does not make a light turn on. I am updating to the f13c update that is currently available off GB website. I should be getting power. Do you think I already messed up? Kinda freaking out bc of 1 led light right now haha... What could I be doing wrong?
@@tritensilva1053 what cpu are you using ? I just bought one of these b550 Vision d-p mobo and I have a ryzen 5 5600x I have no clue if I need to update the bios or not
I’m attempting to flash the bios on my ASUS ROG STRIX B550 f gaming wifi motherboard. Can I just download the latest update on a usb stick. Then just as done in your video connect the power supply to the motherboard, and plug in the usb stick and update the bios.
Thank you so much for this! Really appreciate that you did this video, I combed through lots of videos and searched on google and youtube after thinking I bricked my mobo trying to to tweak settings on a kit of 4x32gb ram that I found out to be defective. My bios wouldn't even post. Seeing your video, I did this as a last resort and my system is back up and running without any hitches and even allowed me to ID the problem item. Without this video, I'd have probably refunded the RAM sticks and bought a new MB or something. Would have been a huge workflow issue. I cannot stress how big of a deal this is because atleast now, I can try to work with the manufacturer on either a refund/replacing the defective sticks while utilizing half of the product I received, which is still better situation than just going back to using my old RAM. TYVM!
Hey so I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I get a new Mobo and CPU. so if you "brick" a motherboard can you reverse it, if I'm not mistaken it seems like you were able to. I'm not to sure that brick really is. Also I'm afraid that I do something very small wrong (maybe with formatting or extracting or something) and the Bios update doesnt install. If I don't get it right the first time would I be able to try again?
Bro when i check my setup in website it says Warning! *Some AMD B550 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vermeer CPUS. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions* do i really need 2 cpus?
THis B550 board is hard to find these days. Even checked your amazon link. I want to build workstation with R9 3900x and looking for this motherboard. Or can you suggest a budget mobo please?
Followed your instructions and everything was going smoothly. But after the flashing stop the code 00 and, dram lights and power supply never shutted down. 10 hours later and everything is still on. I am nervous to shut it down and wonder if it worked or not. Any tips appreciated
Connected Corsaire RX850 PS to CPU and D-P version motherboard power connections. Created BIN file on flash drive per your instructions. Powered up, inserted flash drive in BIOS slot, pressed the button for several seconds and nothing. No led's, no numerals displayed on 7 element indicators. Did I miss something in the video? A switch or something? Going to install the Ryzen 5950 CPU when the BIOS update issue is resolved. Great videos! Great content as well. If anybody has an answer to this problem, I would appreciate your input.
same issue here, im trying as i write this... i have corsair RM750X and the B550 Vision D Motherboard. I followed all steps in the video but when i press the qflash button nothing happens. kept it pressed even for 10 seconds but no flashing light.
@@theTechNotice Got it to work! When saving the file, windows changed the "Opens with" program to explorer. I switched the opening program to Word Pad. We will be putting the unit together today. If there is any problems with it, I will provide updates. Thanks again for your response.
@@theTechNotice yep.. will try tomorrow a PSU test with the paper clip bridge on the green and black wire and a case fan to see if it spins. Also, i will try to format the USB on a windows laptop and also use a different USB stick. pretty hard as there's no led light indicating if the MB is on. Not sure if those qflash lights can blink without a usb stick inserted first
Michael Kellinski; You may save yourself some trouble by making sure the file will open with Note Pad. When you power up the board and insert the flash drive, press the "Q" button, within the first 30 seconds or so of the BIOS yellow LED flashing, the power supply cooling fan ran for about 5 seconds on low speed. It took about 5 minutes for the process to complete. As mentioned in the video, when the process has been completed, you will hear a click from the power supply and the flashing yellow LED will be off.
