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!

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.
