According to me Yes, you can downgrade the BIOS version using Instant Flash.
Here i mention you can do this-
You can get the recommended BIOS version from the ASRock website.
Format a USB drive to FAT32 and copy the BIOS file to it.
You can restart your PC and press DEL to enter BIOS setup.
Go to the Tools tab, select Instant Flash, and choose the BIOS file from the USB.
Also you can follow the on screen instructions to complete the process.
Downgrading BIOS can be risky. ]]> Tue, 16 Jul 2024 19:29:14 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=133511&title=downgrade#133511 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=84355&title=downgrade#84355 Author: Xaltar

As I said in my last post, ASRock includes that warning to discourage people from
needlessly updating. There is no benefit to 4.90 over say 3.50 if you are using
an older gen CPU. That said, there is also no issue with using it, especially if
that is what your board shipped with.

Bare in mind that for motherboard manufacturers the vast majority of returns are
as a result of bad BIOS flashes. Discouraging pointless updates saves them money,
time and customer dissatisfaction. I would complain about it but in the end, it
saves a lot of people heartache and frustration so ultimately, its for the user's
own good. ]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2021 17:19:03 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=84355&title=downgrade#84355 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=84350&title=downgrade#84350 Author: muziqaz

No, you cannot downgrade BIOS, I'm afraid.
Newer motherboards now has flashback capability, but not older ones]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2021 04:56:53 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=84350&title=downgrade#84350 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=84345&title=downgrade#84345 Author: Bill

That's I'm saying. In description of 4.90 version says

"*ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if you are going to use Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU on your system."

Ryzen 3 2200G is Raven Ridge. In 3.50 version don't says anythink about that. Can I instal 3.50 version with instant flash method?

The best thing would be to find out if those restarts and "black screens" are related to BIOS/CPU situation, and not a consequence of some other issues :)]]> Fri, 26 Feb 2021 21:03:18 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=84339&title=downgrade#84339 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=84318&title=downgrade#84318 Author: Bill

If your system is working, don't do it. The "not recommended for" comment is just ASRock
trying to discourage people pointlessly flashing their BIOS. ]]> Thu, 25 Feb 2021 21:57:15 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=84317&title=downgrade#84317 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18232&PID=84316&title=downgrade#84316 Author: Bill
