Asrock a320-DGS won't boot after BIOS update

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

   Recently my Ryzen 3 1200 broke and I was forced to get an Athlon 200ge since it was the chepest Processor on the market. Since the Athlon isn't supported by default I wanted to update the Bios to P5.10, but before I could do that I had to update it to P3.40 since the site said so. I formatted my USB to Fat32 and got the BIOS on it(to clarify from another pc). After booting up, flashing it and rebooting the screen stayed black for a while, I waited for about 30 minutes before restarting. I haven't been able to boot up to post at all and I am currently stuck at a black screen. The fans and lights work fine but the keyboard won't work. I have removed te CMOS battery for an hour but that yielded no results. 

Things I could have done wrong.
1. The CPU / APU was already supported and I flashed a previous version of it. (even though the bios should be version P1.20 if I am correct.)
2. Something went wrong with the flashing
3. I rebooted too soon.

Any help would be very apreciated.

If it helps to solve the issue here are my specs.

EVGA GTX 1050ti (no pins)
DDR4 Ram @ 2440 Mhz
Asrock a320-dgs
Athlon 200ge
Windows 10 Pro on Crutial 120gb SSD
Be Quiet! Straight Power 500w

Thanks again!

	Contact ASRock Tech Support here: https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp They should be able to help you. The only other way to fix the issue would be with an external ROM flasher and a clamp but that is very complicated to explain and tricky to do if you have not worked with ROM flashing tools before.
