@@svgmateYT There actually are some videos available but you have to go digging. One gentleman named Mike's Unboxing does a lot of USB flashback demos and even has an alternate method for deleting any extraneous partitions on USB drives in the event the GUI Disk Management doesn't work.
Simple one for me, my new AM5 MB didn't support the 7800X3D CPU out the box, so had to use the flashback option. All done in 5 minutes, and then running with the CPU.
Bought MSI b660m mortar 2022, everything worked perfectly fine. Upadated to the latest BIOS version and the system would just NOT save the Fan curves, the system would work with fans at blasting 100% rolled back and it worked just fine. Not upgrading my CPU any time soon so don't really see a point. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Hey there! Great video with tons of useful info. One suggestion: having two wide-angle shots that are very similar can be quite jarring to watch. Consider mixing it up by using a close-up shot for the second one, maybe focusing on the screen or whatever you're demonstrating. This would make the video smoother and more engaging.
No matter how many times you do it, a BIOS update is squeaky bum time. It's like asking for trouble and the old if it ain't broke, don't fix it mantra is trying, compelling you not to do it. That nervous wait as the install progress bar goes up, the power down, the restart...everything crossed, hoping its worked!
Be aware if you have a multi 'monitor' setup where you only use one at a time (in my case a monitor and a TV), that flash mode will select what it considers as your default display. I was on my monitor trying to update my bios and when I entered flash mode through the bios, my screen went blank and remained that way and I thought that I had messed up. What happened was the computer/bios chose my TV as the default 'monitor' and output the video signal to that (which I did not initially see because I had it turned off). If you get a blank screen like I did, check your alternate output source(s) if you have any.
I have a second monitor in portrait mode and the computer decided that was the right monitor so I ran through the options sideways. Could I have turned the monitor. Sure. But where’s the fun in that
Updated my ASUS ROG B650 e e motherboard BIOS before upgrading to the 7800X3D CPU :) My board did take longer and went without a hitch, which was great for the nerves lol :D
Fun story. When I was younger, around 14 I'd say, I went to a friend's house and played on his computer a bit. While he was away, to go run an errand with his mom I think, he left me with the PC. Out of boredom, I hit the DEL key to enter BIOS and I found things that were disabled. I thought hey, I should enable those to make his PC better! I'm such a good friend. So I enabled EVERYTHING. Needless to say, he wasn't very pleased. (For those who wouldn't get it, the PC stopped working and he had to send it for repair).
@@sillyguy3546 Nope! My brain just went "Why does he have so many things turned off? It'll probably work a lot better if I enable everything, let's do that"
Reminds me of when my friend turned on my Marshall tube amp to plug and play it, not knowing anything about standby or any of the procedure. He had just always used Line 6 plug and play easy mode amps and figured he knew how to use every amplifier cause of it. The problem lies deeper therein, it's a fundamental disconnect - having too much confidence in your judgement, and having no consideration for equipment that isn't yours
I updated BIOS and I could no longer BOOT. I removed two of four DIMS and then was able to BOOT. Cut a long story short I updated back to original BIOS and now can BOOT with four DIMS.
My computers internal Bluetooth likes to stop working randomly. I have to plug in a USB Bluetooth connector to get it going again. Would a bios update help with this?
When I built this PC first thing I did was update the bios, mostly because the 650 is a bit flakey but a bios update fixes all the issues, but generally no if the PC runs fine then no need for a bios update. Research your board because sometimes it is needed, but as a whole no and if you've built it and everything is stable don't mess with it as you don't need every update that comes out. I had to update mine to get it to see my 6000mhz ram speed, other wise it only saw it as 4800mhz till the bios update, again read up and check youtube lots of content creators making videos. Also a decent board has bios recovery in the case of power failure, not all do you can brick your pc if it loses power that's why you should only do it if its a performance issue, don't do it just because a new version came out, if its not broke don't fix it 😅
Do you have any recommendations on waiting a bit after a new bios update has become available? I have a pre build and a bios from 2020, just a week ago an update has become available which features the resizable bar and security updates. Just quite scary to update to be honest 😂
i really need a guy like you to help me with my flight simulator game. It crashes in loading screens and such! :( i cant seem to fix it and i've searched everywhere to fix it. I was wondering if it might be a Bios problem.
PLEASE HELP ME! I am new to PC Gaming and am stuck, I got a custom build, I connected everything, turned it on (Windows 11 was pre-installed) so I went through the windows stuff and now I dont know what to do with my bios. I have an Asus Rog Z790 Maximus Hero, I'm on the ROG site, at the BIOS & FIRMWARE section, do I need to download just the bios update on usb or do I have to download everything on the page like Firmware, Intel ME, ME Update Tool?
I bought my pc years ago and keep trying to update that bios, so far I can't manage it. I got usb with file and it is fat32... Bios just don't want to see usb, file and whole f thing 😢. Tried few times in the past and now again... all I see is bs not what I need. Here we go again...
I had to update my BIOS in order for my 5800X3D to work on my ASRock x470. There are newer BIOS updates now for my board but I don't need it and don't care🤣 They are for AMD vulnerabilities which as I understand someone needs to be physically at your PC to do any harm, I'm good 😎
I got 1 question. It’s really necessary to update bios pc build 6 mounts ago whit a msi tomahawk z790 and i9 13900k the processor always stai in 5,4 no overclock
I have similar issue. I have motherboard old one 2016 ago, MSI H110M PRO VH with last bios version is 2.0, and never update it. Now, the version is different "7996v2H". Should I update the bios, or stick with an old version?
im downloaded most recently bios from the asus website and uploaded onto fat32 usb drive and followed your method but the file wont appear when you go into tools in bios. my last updated bios version for my motherboard is back in 2022 and i think this is the reason why my comp keeps crashing. if the bios wont allow files to pop up to update this way is it the mother issue?
2 ram sticks, both work individually, all 4 ram slots work with 1 stick in. ram sticks and slots all good and fully compatible put 2 sticks in for dual channel and was working fine for 4 weeks now with 2 sticks in slots as per motherboard instructions, DRAM light comes on, wont boot to bios. tried alot. no fixes found, time to flash the motherboard? will that fix it?
Should I update my bios if one of my ddr5 ram slot is not working???? I connect my ram stick and the rgb light turns on but I go into my task manager and bios and it’s only detecting one stick of ram :(
PC Centric, can you tell us how to update BIOS for NZXT's N7 Z790 without a CPU? There's a USB port that reads BIOS but there is no BIOS button, there's only a CLR CMOS button.
I honestly had a bit of an "eep!" moment when the screen went abruptly dark because I thought "oh no, Marcus has finally accidentally yanked the cord out!" Luckily, it was just NZXT's particular flash process.
Does this motherboard support flashing without anything installed on it? I would LOVE to get my hands on the DeepCool AIO you featured in this video, but they are no longer selling their products in the USA 😭
My bios is still on the version from when i built it in 2018 🤣I'm too nervous to update it and its still working so I'm leaving it. I want to upgrade to Windows 11 because I like the look of it but have put it off as I need to update my bios. Just the thought of my luck to get a power cut whilst doing it.
Hello i found this about updating bios. May i ask if i really need, so im having a8 6600k and i see in my bios also in task manager it only using two cores and i try to fix it but in my bios there is no 4 core. should i need to update my bios?
I actually bought the TUF gaming 670 e back in January of 2023 and when I bought my new Ram just recently it didn't support it so I used the USB BIOS Flash and it worked like a champ but I was nervous LOL
I updated my Asus z790 about 6 months ago. but I have a 13900k. I haven't experienced any of the crashing issues that have surfaced recently, but I will still update to the current version. I hate doing it because if there is a power outage while its updating, you are screwed
so i built my pc earlier in the year and idk much abt pcs and it runs a charm when playing games or having them in the background but if im just googling or chatting on dc it freezes but not blue screen just generally freezes and i have to force shut it down. i updated my gpu drivers didnt do much but would it be beneficial if i updated bios? i only bought stuff and built the pc in january and i have zero clue or any friends that are pc users
I upgraded to 6000 ram and somtimes its boots into safe mode reckon i should send ram back or do a update to bios x670e motherbaord 7800x3d cpu expo ram
i’ve had a problem with my mother board that says wifi on the box, not having wifi, i’ve updated and installed the corresponding wifi drivers but still no luck
Does it keep all your changed settings after the bios update? I did some memory timings changes etc when I first bought it all but that was 1 year ago and I can't remember all of it.
i have a B550 Aorus Elite V2, and mine is revision 1.0. On Gigabyte support bios download, theres versions since 1.0 to 1.5. I should download only the 1.0 right?
i wanna update my bios cause itll add Direct Storage (hence giving a performance boost for no $), but im SCURRED lol I've had the file on my desktop for months just waiting lmfao
It's good to do a vid like this every once in a while. There are infinite vids about installing the latest GPU but people should really watch this too.
I am looking to buy a custom prebuilt PC from NZXT and wondered if a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is a good combination. The complete build price is around $ 2100 USD, and I want to know if this is a good price.
@@Meredithbytemebuilds I put it into pc partpicker and it’s about the same price. This is mainly because I would be using nzxt parts for looks. They only have a $100 build fee so it’s not bad and I don’t want to build it myself.
@@Sunremp It’s cool I found out there was a way to reduce size on a bigger usb using device manager or something like that then it formatted to fat32 kinda dumb you have to do that
