I’ve got the new Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite motherboard. The BIOS version was F4, and I am updating to F5.

I downloaded the BIOS file, plugged in the thumb drive and copied it over, then I started the update in the actual BIOS itself about 30 minutes ago. The screen went dark after a minute or so and the PC has just been sitting and idling since then. The fans are all spinning and the RGB is on but nothing else is happening. I don’t think it’s reset itself or anything.

I should probably add that prior to this, the PC wouldn’t wake up from sleep mode. When I’d try to wake it up, it would do this exact same thing. Fans spinning, but no actual boot. I’d have to hard reset it to get it to boot.

What should I do? I know you’re not supposed to interrupt a BIOS update, but part of me thinks the update is complete and for some reason its having an issue resetting back into Windows. Should I give it a shot or wait?

EDIT: Solved! So I went ahead and did a hard reset. The bios never updated. After some troubleshooting, I found out that the XMP/EXPO profile was to blame. I guess the system doesn’t like it. After disabling it, I was able to update the bios no problem, and the computer now wakes from sleep with no issues.

Hello guys, I'm really in need of help. From last 2-3 days, I was getting error messages with Blue screen.( The one with :-( emoji and QR Code) It was saying your system ran into problems, restarting. So it used to restart. I checked all drivers, all were updated. Today morning also it happened. But when restarting, I got a message saying BIOS needs to be recovered. So I clicked on Start Recovery option. But since then, the recovery page is on and just 1 percent progress. It's been 6 hrs since it started and it's as it was the first minute. Please help and also state possible reasons for this.

I don’t know what to do can anyone help

I'm on an Alienware Aurora R11. I tried updating my BIOS as I do, with Alienware Update this time. It's either that or Support Assist. I've never ran into problems before and I didn't know until today that people have bricked their motherboards by doing this. I'm really scared because I just dropped 1900 on this computer a few days ago and I absolutely can't afford to repair it, let alone replace it. Currently, the Alienware Update window says:
Installing Updates (3 of 3)
Warning: The current operation can no longer be cancelled.
(The warning you normally get about not unplugging anything or whatever. you know)
I have automatically restart system when required checked. It has not turned off even once.
Cancel is partially faded out and I can't click on it.
The more I look into this, the more stressed I get. I need sleep but I'm so tense and shaking, I feel like everything I've just invested in could collapse.
I don't know if I said this already or if it was clear, but the update is still going on. I'm writing this from the same computer that is being updated. I need to get this post out so I'm not making any edits at the moment. Sorry.
