ASRock Z77 Pro4 BIOS recovery

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,
After updating to BIOS version 1.80, my motherboard would not boot. It would either beep 4 times or 6 times, then restart. Recovery via USB did not work.

What did work was contacting ASRock support about this issue and they sent me a new BIOS chip, no questions asked. I had my board up and running in 2 minutes.

This thread is for two things: the recovery procedure is to contact ASRock support because trying to recover the BIOS from USB will not work and also, I wanted to thank them.

So, thank you ASRock support for doing a great job!

	Hi, I've got the exact same behavior with this mainboard: 6 short beeps, the restart. Sometimes just 4 short beeps. Does anyone know what these beep codes really mean ? I already contacted ASRock support one week ago, but no reply so far. I highly appreciate any help.

	... update 20 minutes after my post ASRock support answered my request and also offered me to test a new bios chip, which I received yesterday. To keep it short: With the new chip the board is running fine again! So, also from my side: Thank you ASRock support for doing a great job!

	I have the same problem - I updated the BIOS on my Z77 Pro4 from 1.4 to 1.8 and the motherboard doesn't do anything, I can't detect that it's entering the POST because I don't get a chance to enter the BIOS menus- I get nothing but the fans turning on. Can this be fixed with a new BIOS chip?
