Not a proper bios@@KLEEBZTECH I've done this like 7 times It's mbr it's over the required GB capacity It's formatted fat32 It's the latest bios It's my mobos bios It makes 0 sense man I dont understand what tf I'm doing wrong Every time I need to do something like this I always hit a brickwall It's so fucking infuriating 6 times I've prepared reformat tha drive and tried again It doesn't work

Thanks, I don't usually comment, but this guide help with my scenario, I had a new pc build but didnt realize the bios wasn't up to date with my CPU, and that would make my computer turn on, but show no display. I searched up my ASU Z790-F bios version, and then it worked showing my display finally. Short summary: Follow this guide it works!
Thank God I found your video! I tried to boost the memory speed of my DDR5 RAM and messed things up. Couldn’t even get the keyboard to light up. Fortunately I use 2 PCs so I was able to prep the thumb drive and dl the necessary files on the other computer. Plugged the thumb drive in, pressed the button, the mobo and thumber played nicely and I am up and running. Thank you for the very clear and easy to follow instructions. The part where you mentioned if the light stops flashing after only a short time, to try again or use another thumber was keY! That’s exactly what happened initially. Switched to another drive and all is well. Thanks again and take great care!
had been preparing for this for about a week, bought a USB drive, installed the necessary BIOS version on it, and prepared everything. But when the motherboard arrived, I decided to check its BIOS version (written near the RAM slots on the mb) and realized it already had the newest BIOS version for this model, so I guess I don’t need to update it after all :D
@@KLEEBZTECH All went swimmingly and i even added a windows install. Then turned off the PC (Using windows shut down) slept through night and in the morning when I wanted to install wifi drivers etc, I get no screen - not even Bios and flashing power button - Oh the joys of your first PC build)
I want to give you a huge thank you. Like truly huge. I've been having problems with my PC for over three weeks. Games kept crashing, it wouldn't boot, so I had wipe the MB. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. I thought it was my PSU, because it's about 9 years old, but I'm using much newer hardware. Installed that, the problems persisted. I found out it was because I had been setting my RAM frequencies to to 6400hz, which is what they say on the modules. I let my motherboard set them automatically, and it kicked them down to 4800z. This did not make me happy. I downloaded a program for my MB not too long ago, and my BIOS was massively out-of-date. I downloaded the new one, did what it said in the manual to update my bios, and I was met which countless black screen for way too long, for way too many times. I followed the very plain and well described tutorial that you've made, and BAM! Update took about 5 minutes. Since then I've been able to put my RAM back up to 6400hz, and zero problems. So yeah, thank you so, so very much for this. You've fixed several weeks of unbearable PC performance in 6 minutes and 37 seconds. I cannot thank you enough. Liking and subscribing which I have done, is certainly not enough. Thank you.

Hey i am having problems with the same mobo and my 14700k cuz the bios doesnt update it stops after 3min flashin and get error code 00 what did you do exsctly?
thank you, how the hell asus dont have it explain it that way on their website, FAQ etc is beyond me. Dunno why I tought to have a power on while pressing flash BIOS before watching your video
Understand. It used to for me as well. But honestly it is rare I run into issues these days and when I do it is usually a defective motherboard that gets replaced. Nothing you can do about that.
Anyone tried this with a TUF Gamung ASUS Mainboard? I tried to update it with ezflash out of the bios...basically as soon as it startet processing my system shut down... had to remove the battery to get it running again and now i am afraid to even try ^.^
I'm using an Asus Z170-A, and there is no bios slot for USB or flash button, I clicked on this video for that exact problem since you put that motherboard in the title lol
Just to add an additional piece of information to the puzzle, the USB drive you use needs to be formatted in MBR format. GPT will not work and will produce 3 blinks of the light and then a steady light with no progress.
I have an asus tuff gaming mb. Its the z690 and it doesnt have a button on the backplate. I am sadly assuming the board doesnt have this "flashback" capability. :(
@@KLEEBZTECH ok I did it correctly where the light flashes for like 4-5 minutes then stops, then I push the power button but does not boot up I get an error still on my asus rog 690 hero
You only power on the power supply. Do not press power button on the computer to start it up. You need the power supply turned on in order for the motherboard to have power to update.
Can I install the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 420 A-RGB at the top, and 3 Lian Li UNI Fan SL-Infinity 140 Reverse fans next to the motherboard, as well as the same fans at the bottom? This is for the Lian Li O11D EVO RGB case. What do I need to do, or what challenges might I face?
Gonna try this in the morning as currently I feel like crying my CPU and Dram lights have turned on on my b650m pg riptide after trying to re install my Argb fans properly and I’ve tried so many things to narrow it down and attempt a fix except for a bios flash
does the flashback work on a Pro WS wrx80E Sage board? I have an old USB 2 formatted FAT32 and renamed the file. Have tried several drives actually. I can't get it to continue. just blinks and stops
Don’t know What happend, used flashback, and when it stopped blinking it was after short amount of time, i tried booting pc and just Black screen. Tried several fixes. Have to Take it to repair now:(
Hi! How are you? A bit late to ask but i did all this with my PC, the green light started flashing for a couple minutes (between 3 and 5) and then it turned off, good i said. After waiting a bit more i turned ot on and i just got a black screen. What could it be? Im updating the bios because the mother support's Ryzen 7000 series and a friend brought and 8000. Thanks!
Just upgraded my sons PC turned it on and Nothing. No Picture Detected and None of the Peripherals turn on. The Fans are on and the AIO is on too, (Motherboard Asus B650 plus wifi, AMD Ryzen 5 7600x, Crucial DDR5 4800mhz RAM) Hopefully this will help.
Hard to say but I did a quick look at that board and should support all CPUs. But could be something like the RAM. I would check the support page and check if the exact RAM is verified to work. That is sometimes an issue.
@@KLEEBZTECH thanks for the reply. As you said in the Video the BIOS Flash didn't work first time so I formatted the USB Stick and redownloaded the BIOS Update and this time it worked and the Board RAM light. took both sticks out and just swapped them around and jobs a Good'un. Now just reinstalling Window etc.
If you are in a room with bright lights it may be hard to see the light flashing. Turn off some lights just to see if it is. Does your USB have a light? That you can check as well to know if it is accessing the USB to do the update.
I did a bios update and something happened where it's now stuck in bios update forever Tried to reset cmos, nothing, is there a way to stop this bios updates the flbk light keeps flashing green when I power on the computer, it won't turn on just stuck with flashing green light Unsure if you know how to fix this?
Since a series 7000 motherboard should support the Ryzen CPU without a BIOS update right off the bat, which method would be preferred for the first BIOS update, performing the update via the BIOS utility or the flashback method? Great video, though. Very helpful.
Well that depends on who you ask. Some will say the flashback method should only be when you can't do it the other way. They feel at seeing more feedback in the Bios utility is better. But my feeling is they are really the same. And from everything that I've read from the manufacturers they mention using the flashback as being the easier way. Really it's a matter of choice. I usually would do it on a new-build with the flashback and just get it out of the way. Of course some say you shouldn't update the BIOS unless you have issues but I always do it on a new-build.
Just to make sure I got this straight......I'm going to do my first build within a week. I get the flashing of the BIOS (without anything on the MB)..Great job explaining that!!!! But I've also been reading that you should update the ME driver and FW first before doing the BIOS update. So to me that means installing Windows 11 first with CPU, Memory, Storage, etc., correct? I really want to update the BIOS first because I want to make sure that the MB is ready for my 14th Gen CPU, Mem, Storage, etc). Can I update the BIOS first then build and install Windows 11 and update the ME drivers and FW after that? In what order do I follow the steps?
for me, after the bios flashback (3.5 min), the boot up did not just lead to updated bios. I got message saying hold up we need to flash bios before we can continue. It then rebooted a few times before it went into bios with latest version. Difference might have been my bios also included latest ME. Mine was a new build ... with only the bios flashback as the source for the code. I just find it strange that no one else has mentioned this behaviour.
But if my board doesn´t have flashback, I am screwed. Because my new Z790 plus wifi came with old FW and my procesor is 14. generation KF. So Asus made such great TUF board ... but forgot to include this crucial function.
This is really different from how I used to update the BIOS on my ASUS Z170-A . With that one you could even do it from within Windows IIRC. So you can't even do it from within the BIOS anymore? I mean this does look pretty foolproof, but it's awkward getting to the back of my case (it's on the floor under my desk). Assuming you have to do a full shutdown first. My current board is a Prime X670E Pro WiFi.
You won't be able to format it FAT32 if larger than 32GB in Windows unless you know how to create smaller partitions so it only has a 32GB partition. Windows will not give you the FAT32 option otherwise. I don't cover how to do that in the video since it is a little more complex.
I'm trying to update my ASUS Strix Z690-E board to allow my i7-13700KF to be compatible. I'm hoping this video helps, thank you! Will subscribe and like.
Hope all goes well. If you have any issues just be aware that these are very picky when it comes to the USB drive. Sometimes you may need to try a different one. The older and smaller capacity usually the better results in my experience.
If you can access the BIOS then you can update this way: ua-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/v-deo.html but if new build and unsupported CPU there is no way and would need to use a supported CPU to do it.
what do you mean by "if the pc is already assembled" "do not power up"? You do have to turn the power on to be able to run the bios Flashback or? Can someone explain the nuance ?
What I see at start of video? "can be done ... with no component such as CPU or RAM". "for motherboard you will just need to connect 24-pin ATX power". And after that I see assembled PC, Windows, formating USB-flash... Where "no component such as CPU and RAM"?!
My motherboard is tuf gaming b550M-E and the motherboard is not flashing it flash for 3 times then it has the ligh of the bios update always on and not turnig off
If you fuckup the flashback during, since this is internal can you just restart the process and try again unlike a regular BIOS flash? Or will you brick your motherboard?
If something goes wrong in theory you should be able to do the flashback method and do it again. I have only needed to do it once so really can't say exactly how reliable that is.
I want to update a new TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI Mainboard without CPU and RAM for the next AMD ryzen 9000 3D CPUs. Can the BIOS Flashback via USB Stick be done without CPU and RAM? Or must there be an old compatible CPU on Board to make the New BIOS Update that supports 9000 3D?
Windows will not format anything larger than 32GB as FAT32. There are ways but if someone does not know how it is best to just have a smaller USB drive. You could make a partition of 32GB on a larger drive and then format it if you know how.

This is really different from how I used to update the BIOS on my ASUS Z170-A . With that one you could even do it from within Windows IIRC. So you can't even do it from within the BIOS anymore? I mean this does look pretty foolproof, but it's awkward getting to the back of my case (it's on the floor under my desk). Assuming you have to do a full shutdown first. My current board is a Prime X670E Pro WiFi.
@@PapagenoX09 you can also do in the bios. I do have a video on that as well.
What if I have a 256gb usb stick does it have to be 32gb or less 🤨
You won't be able to format it FAT32 if larger than 32GB in Windows unless you know how to create smaller partitions so it only has a 32GB partition. Windows will not give you the FAT32 option otherwise. I don't cover how to do that in the video since it is a little more complex.
i dont have bios marked port in back.
i think any usb port should do
Hi mate after doing the bios update do you restart the computer with just the 24pin connected and check the bios?
I'm trying to update my ASUS Strix Z690-E board to allow my i7-13700KF to be compatible. I'm hoping this video helps, thank you! Will subscribe and like.
Hope all goes well. If you have any issues just be aware that these are very picky when it comes to the USB drive. Sometimes you may need to try a different one. The older and smaller capacity usually the better results in my experience.
@@KLEEBZTECH Thank you for this tip. I hope your channel continues to grow!
@@javierdelgado4695 Any luck? I just ordered this board and a 13700k, waiting for it to arrive and want to hit the ground running.
@@x_Heffe_X i haven’t tried yet, but I will let you know as soon as I do!
@@javierdelgado4695 Awww man. Please do! My stuff should be here Friday.
hi i have mother board asus b350 and i have problem >>>>> the Q-Flash Plus button is not found >>> what i do ??
If there's no Q flash plus button then that probably means your board doesn't support it. Does it have a USB port that indicates bios update?
What happens if I turn it on I’ve done that and it hasn’t updated
Will it corrupt anything
@@GoosAbsorbs if you did it and the bios says it's not updated then it's unlikely anything is corrupted.
sorry, is the cpu,ram, gpu already installed or not?
I have the Z690-A it doesnt have a bios USB or a Bios FLBK button... so what am i suppose to do?
If you can access the BIOS then you can update this way: ua-cam.com/video/ThQJR2IK5XE/v-deo.html but if new build and unsupported CPU there is no way and would need to use a supported CPU to do it.
@@KLEEBZTECH I can't access the BIOs that's the whole problem.
what do you mean by "if the pc is already assembled" "do not power up"?
You do have to turn the power on to be able to run the bios Flashback or? Can someone explain the nuance ?
Yes you need to turn on the power switch on the power supply but do not boot up the computer.
Can you do this if you already have an older bios version installed? I just want to update to a newer bios version.
Yes this is to update whatever you currently have to the newer version. It will replace the BIOS currently installed.
What I see at start of video?
"can be done ... with no component such as CPU or RAM".
"for motherboard you will just need to connect 24-pin ATX power".
And after that I see assembled PC, Windows, formating USB-flash...
Where "no component such as CPU and RAM"?!
Works either way. And of course you need a computer that is already working to download and prepare the USB drive.
My motherboard is tuf gaming b550M-E and the motherboard is not flashing it flash for 3 times then it has the ligh of the bios update always on and not turnig off
Have you tried any other USB drives? That is often the issue.
if you want to manually flash bios without flash back you shouldnt use renamer right?
Correct.
is this the same forn ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi Motherboard
If you fuckup the flashback during, since this is internal can you just restart the process and try again unlike a regular BIOS flash? Or will you brick your motherboard?
If something goes wrong in theory you should be able to do the flashback method and do it again. I have only needed to do it once so really can't say exactly how reliable that is.
I want to update a new TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI Mainboard without CPU and RAM for the next AMD ryzen 9000 3D CPUs. Can the BIOS Flashback via USB Stick be done without CPU and RAM? Or must there be an old compatible CPU on Board to make the New BIOS Update that supports 9000 3D?
so if it only went like you said flashed seconds and turned to solid green then bios update never worked right?
Most likely not.
what do you mean don't power up if PC is assembled? do you mean don't start the PC and just turn the power on like you show.
Yes. Don't actually boot it up.
@@KLEEBZTECH Thanks
Why does it have to be 32 or less? Will it not work with more?
Windows will not format anything larger than 32GB as FAT32. There are ways but if someone does not know how it is best to just have a smaller USB drive. You could make a partition of 32GB on a larger drive and then format it if you know how.
Led is green but im waiting for 1h30 min but nothing... Help
I would look through other comments other people have had similar issues. It shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes.
