I have Asus X-570 E-Gaming. The mobo was showing green Q-LED today, I came to know it's because of failed boot. So, I'm updating the BIOS(firmware or host boot software). The size of the flash file is 32 MiB and the flash drive used is 2.0 one. It's been 22 min now and the green LED(which indicates the BIOS is being flashed) still hasn't gone off, and now I'm worried. What to do?

For reference:

Asus X570 E-Gaming, GSkill RipJaws 32 GiB DDR4 @ 3200MHz, Ryzen 5 3600, Samsung 980 Pro PCIe4 SSD, DeepCool 850W PSU, Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity

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.

I have a GIGABYTE B550 Vision D-P it's been almost a year since l've update bios. So l've decided to update it. Now I'm in a black screen l've waited for about 2 hours. Should I turn off my pc and turn back on or should I wait it out. Any suggestions?

Hello.

I started a bios update earlier today (11ish pacific) and it was running fine until now. It's been stuck at 52% for about a half hour now. I have no control of m&k. It does not appear to be frozen because the CPU fan rpm is still changing.

Some notes:

• CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor

• Mobo: MSI - B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC ATX AM4 Motherboard

• bios update: E7B85AMS.17M

Any other questions please ask. Thanks!

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.
