" rel="nofollow - did you reset bios prior to update? In any case, try unplugging, removing CMOS battery for 10m, then reinsert + boot? ------------- AB350 Pro4, Ryzen 1600, 3.8GHz@1.35625v, Vengeance LPX 4x8GB b3000c15 2666@1.35v |

" rel="nofollow - mordelismo, what method did you use to update your BIOS? If you did not use Instant Flash, you were inviting a BRICK. I have no suggestions other than the CMOS reset and then talk to ASRock Technical Support for the two of you. You may need to RMA you board. Please let us hear what method you used and what ASRock has to say. Sorry, but enjoy, John.

Please don't engage in victim-blaming. If methods other than IF aren't safe, ASRock shouldn't offer them. Easy as that.

Never assume vendors/manufacturers know what they are doing all the time. I'm telling you this both from a personal experience, and from the point of common sense - if guys who lurk in this forum for quite some time are telling you something's bad, it most likely is. Then again, everyone has a head on their shoulders. ------------- 1700X ZP-B1 (stock); X370 Taichi (UEFI 3.10); 16GB F4-3200C14-8GFX XMP; 256GB 960 EVO; RX 580 NITRO+ 8GB |

foppe, anyone that checked this forum concerning BIOS update will find that no one will speak positively of any method other than Instant Flash. I agree with you and do not know why ASRock continues to provide update files for any method but Instant Flash.
So simple, please tell ASRock. I hope you are aware almost all who post here including the Moderators are not employed by ASRock. I am a user, not an employee. Enjoy, John. ------------- Fat1 X399 Pro Gaming, TR 1950X, RAID0 3xSamsung SSD 960 EVO, G.SKILL FlareX F4-3200C14Q-32GFX, Win 10 x64 Pro, Enermx Platimax 850, Enermx Liqtech TR4 CPU Cooler, Radeon RX580, BIOS 2.00, 2xHDDs WD |
