| " rel="nofollow - Hi all! I've had the AB350 Gaming K4 ATX motherboard for a few months now, running a R5 1500X. It came with BIOS 2.40 already on the board. Everything was running fine. Over the last couple of days I updated the BIOS. I went from BIOS 2.40 to BIOS 3.00, and then from BIOS 3.00 to BIOS 3.30. The flashing went without a hitch using the motherboard's built in flashing utility both times. However, I've gone back into the motherboard's product page today and found that all but BIOS 4.60 have been removed. I've grabbed 4.60, intending to update to 4.60, however whenever I launch the instant flash utility it tells me the image file cannot be found. I've tried a couple of different USB sticks, formatted to FAT32, and had no joy with either of them. Does anyone know why all the old image files were removed from the website, they were all there yesterday? Is the 'image file cannot be found' a fault due to something I'm doing, or is it possible something has gotten messed up on the website? |

TrolleyDave, I suggest you contact ASRock. I suspect that ASRock has screwed-up. I suspect 4.60 has a precursor and they removed it. When the flash utility cannot detect the precursor BIOS it will report the error message you are seeing. There is nothing wrong at your end. Please give ASRock a hard time - looks like they have caused problems for many users. 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 |

p4.60 requires that you update to p3.40 first, so ASRock definitely screwed up. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/7gfqhh" rel="nofollow">

php, are you positive 3.40 is the precursor? I have every ASRock BIOS here. I have contacted ASRock of this and am awaiting a reply/fix to the web page. Till that time, you guarantee me 3.40 is the precursor and I'll up 3.40 to ZippyShare. Guys and Gals, sorry bot this. It will be corrected, soon. |

it was the precursor on the ab350 pro 4, i'm assuming it should be the same for OPs board. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/7gfqhh" rel="nofollow">

Thanks for the help everyone! Glad it wasn't just me being a bit daft and not getting things right. And thanks for getting it sorted out on the website, wardog. Will keep an eye out on it being fixed. Think I might grab a copy of all the bios files just in case something similar happens in the future. In the meantime, will try the 3.40 bios that you've uploaded here and give 4.60 another try. Will post the results back! Thanks again for all the help. |

Ok, updated the bios to 3.40 using the file that wardog shared, and it then let me update to 4.60! Apart from a slight heart attack when it didn't boot into Windows after updating to 4.60, it went without a hitch. The reason it didn't boot into Windows after applying 4.60 is that it reset all my HDD priorities, making it point to a different drive than my boot drive. But once I'd re-applied them it worked like a charm! Thanks again for the help everyone, hopefully anyone else having the same problem as me will see this thread and be able to resolve their problem thanks to your speedy and very useful help. |

well it actually didn't occur to me that they might have different versioning schemes, so i guess i jumped the gun a bit. but all's well that ends well, right?  either way, glad OP got it sorted out. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/7gfqhh" rel="nofollow">

Hi, I am having kind of same problem. My AB350 Pro4 came with bios p3.3. I updated to P3.4 as requested before updated to p4.6 I winstalled Windows 10 Pro after (with BIOS p3.3) but none of my GPU were running (they were detect but I couldn't benchmark them). So I update the BIOS to p4.6. After the installation complete with no problems, the computer reboot and it freezes on the ASROCK motherboard control screen. But now I can't access any of the option. Please help. ------------- NMF |

I need help here too. I've downloaded 3.40 BIOS updater for windows, and after all necessary steps my PC has been shut down and never booted up again. I see nothing - just a blank black screen.

I have Gaming K4 and had sorta siliar problem. I resolved it by pressing delete before Asrock logo shows up, then I could enter BIOS and load defaults. Next reboot and all was fine.
