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

   Hello everyone,

i'm having this issue, i can't currently update my BIOS from version P2.4; i've tried every possible method: every time i try to use instant flash it does not detect the file from USB and i've even double checked that the USB was formatted FAT32 (i even tried FAT), so i tried to update it by using the DOS, i made a bootable usb but when i open the executable it says that it does not support my model; at last i tried updating with internet flash and even there it says that there are no update aviable and that my firmware is up to date even though it's not. I downloaded every file i used from this page: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350M%20Pro4/index.asp#BIOS.
What can i do to solve this problem?

	You should update first the bridge Bios before attempting to update the latest BIOS.

	If your updating to V3.0 then you dont need Bridge BIOS. Can you post your System Specs? Edited by chubalz - 19 Apr 2018 at 12:57am

	Have you already try resetting jumper and clearing Cmos battery? Did you also try different flash drive? i know you already know it should be FAT32. Just try it if it works for you.

	ASRock AB350M looks like this: https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/AB350M/index.asp ASRock AB350M Pro4 looks like this: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350M%20Pro4/index.asp Which one do you have? I am guessing by that CPU screenshot, the first one.
