I have a Powerspec G312 with a fm2a88x extreme6+ motherboard on bios version 3.00B I have tried over and over again to update my BIOS to the latest version that I have downloaded from the official ASROCK website and it always says SECURE FLASH CHECK FAILED. I formatted my flash drive to FAT32, put the file on there and when I select it from instant flash it immediately gives me this error. I tried the internet flashing option, which for some reason only works on the European server, but gives me the same error. Apparently, the latest version of my BIOS is 4.20. I would like to get it up to date ASAP but I am clueless on what to do now. edit: I have also tried plugging the flash drive into the front ports and the back ports. No difference, same error. |

" rel="nofollow - I used to mod BIOSes, so I have to ask, regardless of what you say above .......... The only time I've seen that error is when trying to flash a modded BIOS that was done improperly? I suggest you re-download the 4.20 and check that the CRC is intact. So long as the CRC passes, extract the Instant Flash F288E6P4.20 file and retry. |

Oh! Make sure you are downloading and using the Instant Flash file from Instant Flash within the BIOS. Now that I think of it, you may see that error if you're using Instant Flash but trying to load a DOS flashing file. |

" rel="nofollow - Hi! I have an H110M-HDV and i have the same problem. My Bios/Uefi Version is 1.80. Today tried to update the Bios to 7.20 with the APP Shop (newest version installed). After the restart i get the Secure Flash Check Fail! message. I then tried to use internet flash utility within the Bios. But with the same result. Then i used instant flash with version 1.90 and 7.20 (i downloaded the istant flash files). But the same message again. I testet it with the usb drive in the front and backpanel ports (USB 3.0 and 2.0). I also tested this with the default setting of the Bios/Uefi. What im doing wrong? Even the internet flash fails with this error message. |

Still having the same problem. Can't find a solution. I have done no modding to my bios at all, and I'm not trying to update to a modded version. |

| Yes i unpacked the files. Even with internet flash it didn`t worked (there you only need an usb drive and you didn`t have to do anything). Asrock support sends me a new bios chip with the latest bios version. The only method i didn`t try was flashing the bios with the tool from AMI. |
