	The update for the Z170 Extreme4 seems to have been taken down, likely due to an issue discovered by Tech Support. I am sure there will be a new, problem free update available soon.

	I am afraid I have no idea. There could be any number of reasons to take down an update but if the BIOS is functioning for you then in all likelihood the issue was something minor or specific to a certain configuration. For example a BIOS may cause issues with a particular brand and model of RAM but be completely fine on any other config.

	ASRock now released 2.80 for Extreme4 and it wont work at all!. Well done... I updated to 2.80 and after I pressed Enter to Reboot. Now the ASRock Logo shows up and the PC reboots again. Than it only shows a black screen. I waited over 10 minutes, but nothing. The mainboard showed 00 and later 55. I turned off and was unable to turn on again. I had to unplug from energy, waited some more minutes and was able to start the PC again, but it wont fix the problem. Still ends in black screen. I am also unable to enter UEFI. Luckily I was able to get back my PC to life with the UEFI switch which turns the UEFI back to 1.60. So my recommendation: DO NOT UPDATE! Version 2.60 and 2.70 was fine. I had no issues. Sadly these updates are gone, so I go back to 2.40.

	I have had that happen to me before and it is usually corrected by clearing CMOS and removing the battery and power for a few hours. I am not sure why it happens but I suspect it has something to do with settings not being properly cleared when the flash is complete. It happened to me changing from BIOS version 1.50 on my H170 Combo to 1.60 but did not happen from 1.40 to 1.50 or from 1.60 to 1.80. My thinking is that it occurs when settings are added, removed or rearranged in the UEFI from one update to the next, when the system does not clear the previous settings completely it causes a corrupt data set that prevents post. At least that is my current theory. Thanks for posting.

	Thank you for the hint. I already tried the CMOS clear button on the back, but didn't work. No I changed the jumper for the clear CMOS function. Is it normal that the PC wont turn on by changing that? Anyway, after putting it back to the normal position, PC turned on again and I got the question to start UEFI or continue, so CMOS was cleared I guess. Now the PC finally starts with 2.80. Man, this was many painful, shocking moments for the day and I got a big headache now... This really shouldn't happen on an update and I never had a problem like that with UEFI updates on my old Z77 Extreme4. EDIT: Okay... no, I have to relevate me post a little. I still can't give any recommendation. After I wanted enter UEFI again, I ran into the same problem, monitor stays black. So I cleared CMOS, started again, set my UEFI settings... At least I can normally restart and shut down the PC. But I am not allowed ever to start UEFI again... Hopefully I don't need until the next version comes out.

	Thanks for the detailed description of your problem. If you could send a support ticket directly to ASRock here I am sure they will be more than happy to try and assist you. Include your system specifications and a description of the behavior of the system after you updated the BIOS.
