My son messed about with his bios, no signs of life...I gathered all the required information, followed Mikes directions, and voila computer back in action, & this noob mum gained cred (for a day!) Thanks Mike

Thank you! This video just saved my butt I have a Gigabyte B550m and I cannot get CSM to stay disabled for Secure Boot to be Active (Says Non Active) It said something about resetting Platform Keys.... DO NOT do that.... Board will NOT POST. This Qflash trick saved my butt. Loaded a drive and followed this video without pulling the board out. It worked! Thank you very much!

This was my first time doing a BIOS update in this manner, I've always done it the old school way. Gigabyte's site isn't all that descriptive in telling the full story in how to do it, this video helped a lot. I needed to get a B550M Aorus Elite ready for a 5800X3D, now she should be ready to sing.

For the second time on a build your video saved me a lot of frustration, I bought 2 used gigabyte motherboards off eBay and the ryzen 5 5500 CPU’s I bought wouldn’t work, I had laid all this out before hand and checked both boards and they both said new cpu detected so I proceeded to build. I immediately knew it was a bios issue, thanks once again and keep helping the pc community, I prefer asus boards but I got a good deal on these gigabyte boards, not used to flashing them.

BiOS updating is always a bit of a headache and can be scary for those doing this for the first time! Very thorough tutorial Mike! By the way I really like that MOBO!

[Sketchupdave]

Thank you, it worked. My board did not recognise my USB keyboard.
It is rev 1.4 and i downloaded the files from 23 mar 2023, extracted those were only around 16 MB big, but it worked fine.
Also the flash light went out but my psu kept running so I turned it off manually after waiting a while, then I was able to boot into bios using F2, thx again.

Thanks for these refreshers Mike. BIOS is nervewracking at times and following these videos puts me at ease.

Great video Mike and Lady Kath. Flashing the bios has always been my greatest fear and dreaded doing it. I usually flash it through Windows if I can. And I've been building computers since the mid 90's. Take care all. Cheers

Brilliant budget board. I've recommended this purely because of the price and this specific feature. My friends are quite happy with this motherboard.

[PapaMav]

Excellent advice Mike to put things together OUTSIDE the case first. For example, always test the PSU first, then proceed from there if it turns on.

Great instructional video Mike, thanks for sharing 🙂 Really like the look of that B550 Giga board.

[blotafton]

Thanks a lot! I left the cpu in because it was already mounted on my B550M DS3H AC. It worked fine but it did not turn off by itself after it was done.

[hellodolly]

Great video. Knew the motherboard would work but wasn’t quite sure how to go about it without another cpu. Very simple to follow and helpful!

Interesting to see how different manufacturers handle the BIOS update function. The renaming the file part is what confuses many.

The only downside about learning all of this is that I get to be the one to troubleshoot and repair the tech problems for family, co-workers and friends. It's a good thing that I enjoy it.

Seems like that is a good motherboard as well. I am getting ready for a new build for the office as a web conferencing machine, and I believe I just found its motherboard. Being able to update BIOS even without a fully built platform is important. Thanks for sharing.

Had a go trying this on PC I built that wouldn't post because I enabled XMP and it fixed it. Thanks have been frustrated trying to find a solution for a couple of hours

[WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie]

Mike's How to is Worthy of a Support comment. Like & a share 🙂

[Senrab]

Great tutorial on bios updating. Follow your steps and feel no pain lol Thanks for sharing Mike and Kath🐈👍

[ruanvantonder]

Thank you. Following your video step by step, flashing the new Bios was easy.

[Ladioz]

Incredibly useful. Thanks. Definitely doing this since it's my first time moving from Intel to AMD
