MSI B550-A Pro Flash Bios 

Not a problem. It's nice to have a walk through video to explain things rather than just simply reading from a document :)

Not a problem :)

glad it helped you out!

Their documentation on this process is supremely lacking and the fact that third party people have to make this known is kind of sad. Glad it helped you!

Since it is a different motherboard, the way the lights react when it's complete or any errors may differ slightly. So when you do the bios update, does it do the blinking red light for the bios flash and eventually turn off after a few minutes? If it does, then it should have updated it successfully. If the Debug LEDs still show the CPU error, it may be a few things that you could check: 1. Make sure the Bios version you updated is supported with your CPU or that you updated it to the correct one. If you have an older CPU like 1st or 2nd Gen Ryzen, and you updated it to support a 5000 series potentially, sometimes they remove older models of CPU support to make room for the code. Meaning, it would have disabled say a 1600X or 2600G support on that particular bios. You would need to double check your particular CPU vs. the supported list in the CPU Compatibility. Usually there will be a Bios version between the supported for that CPU and whatever the 5000 support would be, that describes that it removes the 1000/2000 series support. 2. See if you have the CPU Cooler plugged into the CPU FAN header or appropriate header so that the board knows there is a cooler attached. Sometimes they will not boot if there is no draw on one of the 'CPU' headers (like the pump or cpu_fan). 3. Ensure you have removed any plastic protector on the CPU Cooler, as it may cause the system to thermal throttle and not POST properly. 4. Do a CMOS reset to see if some other setting in the Bios has made it so it won't work. 5. You could contact MSI to see if they can help you with your particular hardware configuration, as they will know any particular pitfalls with some hardware compatibility according to what your specific situation is.

Yup, it's pretty much the same for all MSI flash bios button things but... I haven't tried any of the new motherboards with it yet :) *AM5 so...

Glad this helped you out! It's frustrating trying to find this information!

You're very welcome.

awesome!

Yes, but if the PC posts already you could just do it the normal way with a USB stick and going into the Bios. Otherwise, if it is just built and you realized you needed to update, yes you can do this and shouldn't have any issues updating the Bios.

Use the non beta one and see if it works. If you still have issues the beta one may fix a problem, however, it isn't 'stable' or it would be in release status so... risky.

:D That's why RU-vid is here ;D glad I could help.

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.

When you do this through the bios, don't rename the file. This is only for using the Flash Bios Buttons on motherboards, where you cannot get into the bios.

Yes you can. Use the same process regarding power and such, and the system will work like normal. If you are trying to do an upgrade and you have video already though, you don't need to use this. You can do it the normal way by just using the flash utility in the bios itself. As long as you can get to the bios.

Providing the RAM doesn't have compatibility issues yes. Otherwise you can always manually set the speeds in the Bios.

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.

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.

Yes you can do this with things plugged in. Just do the same power sequence where you just plug it in and push the button with the USB in that slot and named accordingly.

The screwdriver to short the pins is simply because the motherboard is not installed in a case with a 'power button'. The screwdriver does the exact same thing as pushing the power button on a PC case. It causes a short between the two pins on the motherboards 'Front Panel IO' area, labeled "Power SW" usually. You don't have to do this, but it's always good practice to ensure the system POSTs outside of the case before installing, that way if you need to RMA any faulty components beyond the RAM like lets say there's a problem with the motherboard itself, you don't have to spend the time to remove ALL of the components from the case. You just simply unplug and put it back in the box etc.. Saves time. Plus, if the system POSTs outside of the case, and then does not when you put it in, you know something happened during the installation process that caused the issue.

Assuming you mean one of the Debug LEDs. If the system turns on and boots into your Operating System, then I am not sure what it means. However, if you have not installed your operating system, it's quite possible that the "Boot" LED is the one that is on since there's no OS installed yet. Doing so would fix the problem.

@@Kardall Thanks! It all works now and no LEDs are up after installing Windows

Yes you have to have at least bios version 7C56vA9 to support that CPU. So I would suggest using a friend/library/school PC to download the bios files required to do the update while you wait for your parts to arrive.

Make sure it's in the correct port and that it is a Fat32 formatted USB with the MSI.ROM file that you wish to flash. If that still does the same thing, yes I would RMA the motherboard. First rule about building a PC, don't assemble your PC in the case before you do a test boot and can get into BIOS. As it seems that the way you replied implies that you put the entire PC together before hand :)

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.

The normal route is yes, but there is some consideration with certain Bios updates that you may not want to. Lets say, you updating your motherboard Bios removes whatever CPU you are replacing it with from the compatibility list. Something like putting a 5800X replacing a 2400G. But in doing so your A320 Chipset will remove support for the 2nd Gen Ryzen with Integrated graphics. But there is a bios version below that, but above when the 5800X was added that supports both. You may want to keep it to the minimum for testing to make sure your system posts, and if you don't have issues or think the system is fine, update the Bios later on. But updating to latest often brings more compatibility improvements across different hardware and even support for the CPU itself.

@@Kardall Oh wow I never would’ve thought of that. I’ll definitely read into it a bit more. But currently I’m waiting for a Ryzen 5 5600

@@philahsam how did it go plz respond

@@ieuhwbwnwosisbebsjksjsnsnsj sup buddy. What are you having an issue with right now? Don’t know where to download bios?

ahh, yes you should be okay as long as there isn't an existing MSI.ROM that it is trying to load. Should be safe.

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.

Make sure your file is renamed to MSI.ROM It's possible it can't find the rom file. Make sure you have renamed it and maybe make sure your "Hide file extensions" is disabled so you can see them. Otherwise it may just be called "MSI.ROM.094" or something like that.

If you have a graphics card installed, make sure you plug your monitor into that instead of the motherboard.

@@Kardall No GPU installed. I just unboxed parts and followed your full tutorial

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?

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.

Using the Flashbios Button no. It will update and when the light goes off it should work. If you don't have your GPU yet, then you can still do the update with a power supply connected and nothing else even. As was shown in the video. The only reason there is a monitor used in the video is to show that it works afterwards.

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.

Are you sure you're using the correct port? There is a specific one you use for the USB. On the rear IO shield it outlines it I believe in a border or labeled depending on the model. But it's usually the one next to the button if it's side by side. Another thing, make sure you have the exact motherboard bios. For example, a B450 Gaming Plus Max is not the same as a B450M Gaming Plus Max, and a B450 Gaming Plus is not the same as a B450 Gaming Plus Max. Make sure it's the exact model.

Hi, i have done all things in the usb but when i turn on the flash button the red light flashes for 5 seconds and then the pc turn off without any white light on the motherboard

If your PC is booting to bios, you can do an update using the base ROM file that you download, from inside the Bios screen. You don't have to use the Flash Bios button. If you keep going to Bios after turning the system on, that means that the system can't find the Boot drive (if you have even installed your OS yet). Since you can get video output, you should be good to install your OS now, you can always update the bios later using the windows utility or other methods that do not require the 'bios flashback button'. Which is really only necessary if your CPU does not have support on the current version of the Bios.

if you rename the file to msi.rom and try again it should just work.

@@Kardall alright thank you so much I got so scared I messed it up

Possibility that your OS has become corrupted. Potentially an update that failed when you powered down the system at some point during an update? You could try to do the "Reset This PC" and try to see if the OS installation is correct. Or change your sign-in option to password and see if your password works (might be your Microsoft password if you have activated a digital license).

@@Kardall Thanks for your respond! My computer is just one week old, so I dont know if it was an update but since i havent put that much stuff on it yet, I just might as well reset it completely. I got around the password, so that was no big deal :D You know, my main issue is that all of these ways to get to the bios by pressing certain keys when the pc was starting didnt work. My screen was just black whenever and however ive tried it. So i thought it might work with a stick but that also seems to not work, kinda desperate right now :P

But it isn't blinking Just red

@@3m17.9 Make sure that you have renamed the file correctly. If you have file extensions hidden, you may have renamed it MSI.ROM.C41 or whatever the original extension actually is. If it isn't called MSI.ROM then it will not be able to find it, which sounds like what it's doing. But there isn't a set LED patterns list anywhere.

If it is still flashing, let it go. You don't want to power it off just-in-case it's writing the ROM file. You don't want to brick your motherboard. But other than that, if it is doing it like now (been 10h since you posted) There's no real other solution than to turn it off. It should not take that long. You could contact MSI and ask them what may be the problem, or RMA it if it's within exchange with the retailer you bought it from because maybe it's just a bad motherboard?

Any update? I’m having the same problem rn.

@@Kardall im also having this problem, i let it run over night to be sure and when i came back the light was still blinking and no EZ dbug light, i did get mine from ebay so could it be a bad motherboard?

The reason is the file isn’t in the root directory so it cant find the file and it keeps looking

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.

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.

did you extract the actual file to the base USB folder and rename it to MSI.ROM

The machine should not start when you push the flash bios button. I would check your power connections to everything to make sure they're not semi-connected and causing some sort of freak-out or short-type of situation. All you should really need is the 24-pin and the 8-pin CPU Power connections, you can take the RAM out of the system if you want to as it is not needed, just to make sure the system doesn't try to POST. If you have a compatible CPU though, you should be able to get it to POST to bios and do the update within the bios. No need for the flashback bios button at that point.

Must have been a 300 series motherboard :) I think those were the cutoffs because the Bios memory size wasn't big enough to continue support. Same with some of the B450 boards.

Windows 11 has requirements for the motherboard that you have to enable in the Bios. As per Microsoft's Hardware Requirements ( learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/windows-11-requirements#hardware-requirements ): System firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable. TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. You will have to look through the Bios on where to enable those features or if there is a Bios manual (sometimes MSI has a separate manual for it), then it will tell you what category it is in. But normally it's in some sort of Chipset sub-menu or sometimes they hide it in the Boot menu. I don't have a board I can spin up to tell you where it is unfortunately :(

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.

You can upgrade to whatever the newest version is with the flash bios button.

​@@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

It's a Ryzen 7 5700G which has integrated graphics :) Ryzen series prior to the 7000 series that have a G on the model, indicate that it is an "APU" with integrated graphics. CPUs like 5800X or 3600X do not. But all of the 7000 Series Ryzen CPUs now have integrated graphics :) (So far anyway).

@@Kardall Ahh okay. Thank you :) this video really helped me out

@@Kardall So you cannot post into bios with a 5800x and no GPU installed? How do I check to see if the bios flash worked? Do I just build the rest of my computer and cross my fingers?

​@cuttersarekey this is where I am too, but so far I still am not POSTing. New BIOS flash, new HDMI cable, new DDR4s, tried every combination of component installation, and still nothing. Getting both pissed off and worried.

Everything is the same, just maybe the bios file will be different than what I downloaded.

@@Kardall i still have to rename the file MSI.ROM right ?

Make sure you have a small USB like 4 or 8 gb just to be on the safe side, download the BIOS and do the prep work for the file etc. on another computer, then double check when you have it 'done'.

@@Kardall I have successfully completed the process thank you for this video it's really helpful

When you press the Flash Button, it should immediately start blinking which tells you that it is reading the USB and doing things. If it stays on, it's some sort of error. If it cannot see the MSI.ROM file on the USB drive, make sure it is renamed correctly (show file extensions if you have it disabled so it's not like MSI.ROM.a96 or whatever the original file was). And go through your checklist of FAT32 formatted, all files in the base drive not inside any folders on the USB drive, etc..

Yes you can. And to try to answer the other question. If the light is solid and lot blinking at all, then it has encountered some error and halted the update process. Go through the checklist of requirements: Fat32 Formatted Drive, Correct Bios for your motherboard downloaded, extracted the rom file to the USB, renamed the file to MSI.ROM Try a different drive if it still does it, but that's all you should have to do.

Normally you put the essentials on the board to get to a POST screen. Just put it on the motherboard box, connect the CPU Power, 24-pin Motherboard Power, install your CPU and cooler (even temporarily just use the stock one to make sure it posts if you got an AIO or other cooler for the final build) and your graphics card if you don't have integrated graphics. That way you know it works and you get a video output. Doing this will save you the many minutes of removing the board if necessary, remounting your cooler or anything of that sort. Also, before you finish cable management, make sure the system posts in case you have to remove or unplug/replace cables etc.. There is no harm as long as you don't move the board rapidly and cause stress on the GPU socket it is installed on, and pretty much everyone does this. Those who don't risk the waste of time it takes to remove and swap out components after RMA'ing DOA components (like your motherboard). Super frustrating to have the entire system installed, and then the motherboard won't post because it has a bad CMOS chip, or someone else did a bad flash and bricked it, then returned it and it got re-entered into circulation and you ended up with it. It happens. Do things outside of the case for your own sanity.

@@Kardall ok yeah, i will thx, i assume u only need cpu and gpu for that no ram right?

If you have a "G" series CPU then the motherboard should have output after you update the bios to a supported version. If you have a normal CPU that does not have integrated graphics, you will need to then install your graphics card and connect it to your monitor (not using the motherboard).

just turn off the power supply. If it doesn't have a switch, you can hold the pins for the power switch down for a few seconds until it shuts off.

Well a 5600 does not have integrated graphics, you would need a 5600G if you do not have a dedicated graphics card.

2 hours is a bit long ;o While it's blinking it's usually writing something but... I don't know if turning the system off will brick it or not. Depends what it's doing. If it is writing and you turn off the system it will brick the board and you will have to replace it. You could try contacting MSI and ask them what they suggest doing, and if they say to shut it off and it bricks it, then you can get a replacement because their tech agents told you to do it XD lol

@@Kardall well shit I've already flicked it off 😭

Yup. Just make sure you have IPA (rubbing alcohol) and some swab or q-tips/cotton balls to clean off the CPU before you apply the AIO.

Also I have isopropyl and lapsed towels so I’m good

Yes. Just follow the same steps. If your CPU is already installed it'll still work.

So the Bios LED flashed and after like 5 minutes or so it turned off? Sometimes the CPU light won't shut off on some models, but when the red light for the Flash Bios LED goes off, you should be able to power down the system and install your cooler and such so the system has a 'load' on the CPU_FAN header. Sometimes they won't POST as a self-preservation thing, so you don't overheat the CPU. Not sure how far you have gotten with the build, but you can assemble everything outside of the case on the motherboard box like I did in the video. Hard to say what might be wrong.

@@Kardall sorry for not responding I didn’t download the right version of bios and there was also a ram issue where the ram I was using was not compatible with the motherboard my computer has now posted thanks for the help you a 🐐

Possibly a problem reading the file. Make sure you rename the file you downloaded to MSI.ROM and that it's a Fat32 (preferably small like 2gb) USB drive?

You can use this process to update the Bios period. Doesn't matter what CPU you have as long as it 'works in the board', this process lets you update the Bios without a CPU. So as long as you update it to a version that the CPU Compatibility lists as the minimum Bios that supports that particular CPU model, then you are good.

Okay man thanks @@Kardall

possibly? Not sure, it should just stop at some point and not come on again.

Did it already do an update where it flashed for like 3-5 minutes or more? Or has it only every blinked for 5 seconds and stopped? If it's the later, then it is having problems finding/reading the bios file. Make sure it's FAT32 formatted (preferably a smaller drive like 4gb or something) and the bios file for your motherboard is correctly named. In the case of this MSI board it was MSI.ROM and it should be in the root folder, not a sub-folder. And we're talking about the files inside the archive when you downloaded from the site. Because inside there is a rom file that you rename.

@Kardall I'm using the exact same motherboard, fat32 formated, named the file MSI.ROM it is a 16gb stick though since it's all I had. Nothing else is on it. The light blinied for about 3-5 seconds. Is there a specific version of the bipa update I should be using?

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.

@@Kardall Okay, thank you very much 😀

Make sure that you have a Fat32 formatted empty USB stick. And have renamed the file to MSI.ROM (for this motherboard). Also, keep in mind, this is to make it so that the board works with a 5000 series CPU and it does not support any CPU before 3000 series. So if you are trying to use a 1600 or 2600x etc., it won't work either way.

@@Kardall may be because I ordered a refurbished board and possibly some issues. I did format to fat32 and renamed the file to MSI.ROM, I do appreciate this video as it was very thorough, my cpu is a 5800x

@@Jake-rq7gvi know this is late, but did you fix the issue? People told me to convert USB in command from GPT to MBR then flash

Did the red LED stop flashing? Did you plug in your graphics card and it's required power as well as connect your monitor to the GPU? Do the Debug LEDs get stuck on something? It's near the 24-pin power I believe.

I tried multiple BIOS versions, flushed the CMOS too. Push button, red light flashes slow, machine starts light flash fast, machine runs for awhile, shuts off, starts back up,red light flashes three times. Machine doesn't shut down. Turn off install everything properly start back up and nothing. Cpu debug light always on but already swapped cpu for a 3-3100 Ryzen.

Yes the red light went off and everything is properly connected. The debug is shownig CPU@@Kardall

I cannot re-make this because I do not have an order for those two parts. My B550-A Pro loaner is being RMA'd and returned right now as well. However, the minimum bios you would require would be 7C56vA4 or use the one on the video, same thing. You will need a graphics card installed because the 5600X does not have integrated graphics. Other than that, it should work identically.

@@Kardallis that version compatible with windows11? I see that 7c56vA8 is the windows 11 update. But would it still support a 5000 series Ryzen?

Yes you can. It's just not required, but it should work the same way as with things installed.

@Kardall Thanks man. I was freaking out so I pulled everything just in case. Didn't realize that the system had to be off when you hit the flash button. Got it all sorted!

If you have a 400 series motherboard and even a lot of 500 series motherboards, yes you will have to do the bios update. You should look up your motherboard on the web and look at the support -> cpu compatibility chart and it will tell you what Bios version your CPU is supported as of. Then you download that, perform the update with the button should you have one. If you don't, you will need either a compatible CPU or a loaner kit from AMD, I did a video covering this as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rZXcuSY_-Tg.html

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.

Bad flashes do occur. Could be a problem with the board itself, or maybe the wrong bios version for the time. There are some boards that have a sequence of updates you have to do because they change the format of the bios file itself throughout the course of the lifespan of the motherboards update history. B550 is still fairly new and I haven't seen many of them do this, mostly it is to do with AMD boards going from 1st Gen Ryzen through to the 5th Gen that have this issue more commonly. Good luck, hope you get it sorted :)

@@Kardall when i conect board with psu looks fine,lights work,cpu and gpu fan work but do not recognize cpu.

Yes you would because the 5700X does not have Integrated Graphics. Only way to test is to see if it POSTs.

Shipped version Bios from website: 7C56vA0 5600 Support added in Bios version: 7C56vA9 So according to the spec sheet, no. But really it doesn't matter with that button. It's not difficult to do and it only takes a few minutes. I'm not saying the board that you buy / receive won't work out the box, but I'm just saying that according to the specifications and support page on MSI's website, that it needs a bios update.

im currently doing this .. with 7C56vA7 for Ryzen 5 5600g... hope this works...

Sounds like either it can't read the USB or the file is not renamed correctly perhaps.

It can take upwards of 5min to complete the update. You can just let it run. How long have you let it run for?
