Gigabyte Aorus Pro AC B550 with Ryzen 5 5600x G.Skill 3600mhz CL16 Memory RTX2080ti. I did exactly as you instructed using the BIOS version that gave support to the motherboard for the new Ryzen 5000 CPUs from the manufacturer website. Q-Flash Plus light flashed for a couple minutes, then stopped entirely. I let it sit for 5minutes in total and checked that the PSU fan was off(not sure it ever came on as it's a Seasonic 850W that seems to not spin the fan unless it needs to for heat reasons). Anyway, I powered it off, removed the USB stick, powered it back on and now it's just cycling through the POST lights going through CPU quickly, onto DRAM for a little bit, then onto VGA and it hangs there. I never get a video output at all. It just keeps cycling like this endlessly. I know the GPU works as I've removed it repeatedly and placed it in my old 8700k machine with no issues. I'm at a loss as to what it could be at this point. I may try some other sticks of memory if I can find some. Any tips would be appreciated though. Thanks.

Thanks for addressing the issue for everyone planning to build a new system with Zen 3 CPUs on current motherboards. Liked and subscribed.

Zen 3 is the latest Ryzen 5000 series.

That's a great feature. I hope to see more manufacturers start adding in a way to be able to update the BIOS without certain main components included. After all a fair few mobos had to be updated when some Ryzen CPUs came out requiring users to use/borrow or even buy an older supported CPU just to be able to access the BIOS to start the upgrade in the first place.

yeah it works well, bit more risk involved because of no process bar on monitor, but as long as you don't shut pc down, it wont matter.

It took me a month to figure this out. Thank you so very much! Everyone else explained how to get the files on the USB, but they did not tell you that the button flashing and the fans whirring was the flashing process. I thought it had to show the screen for it to count the flashing. I am happy I found this video. I am eternally grateful. Now to plug everything else into the motherboard, and I should be good.

This man's voice is so reassuring that you know everything is going to be alright.

Perfect, thank you so much! Worked with Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master. Renamed the file to GIGABYTE.bin and removed all other ones from the flash drive. I did remove the graphics card, RAM, SATA drives but kept CPU and NVMe drive installed. After the flashing of the BIOS LED the power supply fan did not stopped spinning. In the end, I switched off the power supply. On first boot the POST was followed by an 3-5 minutes BIOS installation process. Afterwards, I was able to access the BIOS and boot the system. 👍👍

Yeah it baffles me that most MB don’t have this feature. If anyone bought a Ryzen 3 series and a motherboard that was designed 1 or 2 years earlier they’re pretty much screwed if they don’t have a compatible CPU for the update. I hear AMD has a service where they send you a kit to update your bios but I don’t know the details and will find out tomorrow when I call them up. Hopefully their customer service is good.

Thanks for the vid. Explained very well and easy to understand for all levels of computer builders.

Cheers for this video, never flashed a bios until a couple of days ago after i realised the mobo i'd bought wasn't compatible with my cpu without flashing the bios. Worked a treat though thanks

Thank you bud. It was very helpful like your other videos.

Your video helps me a lot. I am planning to buy a motherboard which has a q-flash feature and so I search on how to use q-flash and I've found out this video of yours....

hello question, what happens when u use a mobo (b450 as an example) with a 3rd gen, specifically will it boot? (troubleshooting my pc rn)

Great vid, very helpful! 👍🏼

if it failed do u just pull it out or turn on the system and then off to unplug?? the manual says "reset the system" as since i didnt push the on button but power is still going thru i am unsure what it means. Did i brick my mb?! i left the exe on the flash did i run things? It's in another folder though...

Thank you! I plan to build a pc with zen3 but I bought my motherboard before they added the bios version to support zen3 so this video definitely helped me out

You should explain it more generally, tell people that they should read the (readme) file to know what to name the file exactly. each brand has their special name. also indicate that some boards have Flashback button on the board not on the IO

It worked my friend. Thank you so much

And what about the power supply fan? Does that have to be rotating during the BIOS updating process? The LED associated with the BIOS button (after the button was depressed) began to pulsate indicating it was getting power, but the power supply fan wasn't whirling, indicating maybe no power from the ps was being generated. I panicked, and pulled the plug to the ps. Maybe the power used by the BIOS upgrade process was so small that insufficient heat was generated to signal the fan to turn on? Need more clarification on this point before trying a second attempt at BIOS upgrading.
