1800x, gskill F4-3200C14D-32GTZR, evga 1080ti ftw 3, samsung 960 pro m2 ssd

I was running everything stock. The ram was running xmp profile timings at 2933.  Thank you for your responses.



I just updated (attempted to) to 3.0 using Instant Flash and I'm having the same issue.  My system had been working since late June without issue.  I have the same gskill memory specs that you do but the model is slightly different.

1700X
Samsung 960 EVO m.2 SSD
GSkill F4-3200C14D-32GTZKW
Radeon RX480
Sound Blaster Zx

I tried reseating the memory and also tried using 1 stick in A2 (tried both sticks in A2 to no avail)
Reseated RX480
Reseated SB Zx (
Tried resetting the CMOS using the button, it failed.
Tried resetting the CMOS by unplugging the system, moving the jumper, and removing the CMOS battery (tried 10 minutes, tried 30 minutes), it failed.
My last gasp is letting it sit for 4 hours for a CMOS reset, but I'm not holding out much hope that it will work.

I don't believe I had upgraded the BIOS since mid-July.  I wanted to update to the latest version, and it recommended I upgrade to at least 3.0 and then use the Windows Flash utility to upgrade to the latest BIOS version.

What ended up being your issue? How did you resolve it?

Thanks!

Beginning to think i'm just unlucky seeing how few posts there are of failed flashes.

I am not able to make it that far. I do not not make it far enough in post to activate usb for my keyboard. I tried rebooting and mashing f6 hoping to catch instant flash. Thank you for your response.

4f is relating to memory


But what you're going to need to do is ...........

1. Make sure you memory is FULLY seated in slots A2 and B2. Pull them and reseat each.
Clear BIOS and test


Also please state which memory you have please. Heck, post you system specs please.

Post back after reseating and clearing the BIOS please. I'm not 100% sure that will get you up and running but this is the first diagnostic step.

No. It loaded the update then it rebooted after it was finished and it never made it to post. Stuck at 4f.
