Just an FYI regarding upgrading your BIOS using this method after your components are installed. The answer is you 'should' be able to perform this process with all of your components installed on your motherboard. I just did it with my CPU, RAM, graphics card, fans, etc. all installed after it stopped posting while I was attempting to OC my RAM. It successfully upgraded and reset my BIOS and I'm back in business. That being said, thank you for this video.

[@mikesunboxing]

[@simba7655]

Just wanted to say thank you for the guide, I got the same board with 5600G so needed to update BIOS first. Did all the steps as described (without components installed) and it worked perfectly. A few minutes for the BIOS update, powered off, installed components and it posted without any issues. Maybe to note here that initial POST takes quite a while (15-30s) but seems like eternity because you think that the board may be bricked. I used Hama 32GB USB 3.0 stick formatted to FAT32, works great.

[@mikesunboxing]

Nice work!

[@cnez1305]

which version of the bios did you use?

[@simba7655]

The latest non-beta version 7C56v17. I would say that this should apply in general, always take the latest non-beta version.

[@bantcliff]

A quick User experience for using it in full setups, it's worked fine the 3 times I've tried it. Recently tried the MSI Centre BIOS update method which failed and bricked my B550 UNIFY X MOBO, so used this method to install it instead and it worked perfectly. Also when I built the kids 2 Xmas PC's with the MSI Gaming Plus and couldn't get a Video Signal I again tried it in fully built systems and again had zero issues (turned out the Video out was unrelated anyway) So 3 fully built systems and Zero issues with this method. [I'll update to let you know if it's 5 for 5 as I'll update the kids soon to see if I can get rid of the USB dropouts there Keyboards and Mice occasionally get]

[@makiwa]

HI Mike. Just a bit of an update on my experience with the B550 GP and the Bios Update I did , 7C56v16. As I discussed previously I changed from the X570 GP with the 7/3700X and installed the B550 GP with a new 5/5600X (hence doing the Bios Update). Anyway, all went well until it came to Booting Up - it posted fine, but that is all it would do, stumblingly only go into the Bios Settings with the "BOOT" Light remaining lit on the Board. Not seeing The Windows Boot. It saw the SSD ok but not Windows on it. I thought that maybe along the way the SSD had done a funny so swapped it out for another one I have with Windows on that I know is working from the HAFX 5/3600. Still nothing - Strange...????? Me and my S-in-L eventually sussed it. With the latest Bios Update it had made "csm/uefi" available now and enabled it by default! Not too sure what that does but turning it "OFF" within the Bios Settings made it all better! Booted straight away! Thank Goodness!!! Anyway, I just wanted to give this "Heads-Up" in case others have the same issue...... Ciao.

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah the CSM / UEFI toggle catches a lot of us out. thanks for sharing your experiences wit it 😀

''Make sure that you don't have power on before attempting to flash install" That is vital on MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk Wi-Fi START THE BIOS UPDATE BY PRESSING THE FLASH BUTTON, THE BOARD WILL THEN ACTIVATE THE BIOS UPDATE. I spent over 4 hours with many usb pen drives with the power applied and failing every time!

[@SonsOfDexter]

It does not make sense, without power, how you gonna get the board running? Once you plugged usb, you turn power on as the video indicates.

[@mikesunboxing]

Think he is saying not to boot pc or press the power button maybe ?

I'm further than I was at the start of the video. Thanks! I renamed the file and unplugged the ram and GPU but left mt CPU in. I finally got the flashing though! I had done a flash on another mobo, but I was able to use my ryzen 9 3900x to flash it, so all was well with the MPG X570 Gaming Edge WIFI, but the MPG B550 Gaming Plus was a no go, so you saved me here. Mine just rebooted, so no red light. I'm gonna plug it all back in and see if it finally posts. If so, you're a life saver.

@@mikesunboxing my nephew had put the ram in backwards, so it may have been broken when that happened. I had put it back the right way, but I had a feeling it may have been damaged. I swapped the ram out for a different set and it booted just now and I'm installing windows. After this, I'll check if both or 1 doesn't work. Hopefully at least 1 is salvageable. But still, he did a really good job putting it together. I'm not even gonna knock him for doing that one part wrong so he doesn't get discouraged. Ram can be replaced and I'm really happy it's not the CPU or Mobo not working because I am tired of going to best buy because today was my first day having to flash a bios and they have really slim pickings when it comes to parts, Haha. I may take 1 RAM out of his that I built and put it in this one that he built. I feel like with this ram I'm working with now, a different PC had randomly restarted while playing games before, so I don't want that to be an issue with this one. I'm super happy I found this video to flash the bios. It worked out for me. I'm installing windows right now, so I'm happy it's finally working. You rock!

love the explanation, hope it works lol. would you recommend trying this version in particular or a more recent version? (not the beta)

go with the newest one down from beta

SO I got mine fixed, rookie mistake, I just moved my RAM over from previous PC ( DRMM4 ) and did not check the ram was compatible with the new mother board, it wasn't. Got 2 sticks that were and CPU is detected. Now the VGA light is on LOL

[@brandonh7398]

I've just built my PC over the past two days and before I started it I did the bios flashback on my MSI b550 gaming edge wifi but I forgot to plug in the cpu connector when doing so and only plugged in the 24 pin. After it was finished everything lights up and fans and gpu spin but no signal to monitor, is the issue a failed bios update? (Was for ryzen 7 5800x) And if so can I bios flashback with my PC components installed? Or do I have to remove everything completely? If you could help that would be greatly appreciated and would save me more time and frustration, cheers.

[@mikesunboxing]

i am pretty sure you can do it without the extra CPU connection attached for flashing but you will need to attach it for using the system normally afterwards. Join the discord chat if you want to go through the steps and possible recovery in more detail

@@mikesunboxing an option to save setting to usb should be used. I know that some settings may not be restored, but it is still better than redoing everything. Especially if you fine tune memory with about 30 settings... 🤔

Hi Mike, how are you? I'm building a computer with a Ryzen 5600G, I'm going to use only the processor's integrated video. I have a question about which motherboard to pick, the one in the video or a B550 Aorus Elite. What's your opinion?

[@mikesunboxing]

yes that is a good choice and not too bad a price at the moment

[@Arved00710]

Very good vid, should I update on the version where it says it supports amd 5000 cpus or is this intograted and I direkt update on the latest?

[@mikesunboxing]

When I put the file on a brand new flash drive the file is there but so is a bunch of other folders, it okay to have those on the flash drive with bios file or should I delete everything other than that one file?

[@mikesunboxing]

you can leave them if you must

[@LineFire2012]

Me costo bastante ponerla a funcionar con un ryzen 5 5600x ,la actualizacion desde la propia BIOS no me funciono por lo que me fui directo a hacerlo desde el botón tal cual indica el video, si lo van a hacer con los componentes instalados tengan en cuenta desconectar el cpu y las memorias RAM , tengan especial cuidado cuando la actualización termine ya que la maquina encenderá y el procesador estará con el ventilador desconectado y no queremos calentamientos innecesarios

[@007vix]

So is THIS how you recommend STARTING with this (or any MB) before attaching or doing anything else? Also do you install the BETA or non-BETA BIOS? The MSI guide videos and instructions don't show you to install things like this, which for a novice builder is VERY confusing. They make out as if you should attach everything THEN do the BIOS and all drivers.

[@mikesunboxing]

i normally do the bios first and preferably a non beta one if possible

I just get a continous Red light after a few seconds after pushing the red bios button, Have tried 5 different USB drives, hidden files showing, formating with mbr. Original Problem is no display with Ryzen 9 3950X NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition - MSI b550 motherboard produces a VGA light error, coming back to PC's from the Mac world - wish I spent my money more wisely

[@mikesunboxing]

vga error is just what it says a problem with your graphics card. A bios update won't fix that. but it sounds like you have other problems here, maybe pop in to the discord tech support chat for some help with it

[@BSGA22]

I've watched a few videos on this and noticed everyone chooses the second option for the bios, is there a reason for that?

[@mikesunboxing]

if a bios has just been released it could be buggy

[@freespace771]

Hey great video. But was wondering if it is possible to boot to bios to check what version is installed without a cpu in? The build I'm making needs newer than x version for the cpu I wish to install. Or would it be safe to attempt a boot when the bios version does not support the cpu installed?

[@mikesunboxing]

it is safe to attempt it but if not supported it won't boot, and won't harm it either

Thank you for he reply, really appreciate it.Managed to be an USB that is FAT32. My B550 GAming Edge motherboard says it is ryzen 5000 ready, does that mean I don't need to use the BIOS flashback option?@@mikesunboxing

Slight issue here, when I plugged in the power supply and connected both the 24pin and Cpu or 8pin connecter then plugged in the USB drive in along with a pencil to press on the flash bios. It all worked excepted it flashed for like 5-8 seconds the USB light up for a bit also and then I hear a click in the power supply and nothing else happened afterwards.

I've admittedly already put the computer together and I'm not getting the BIOS screen. I realize now that this mbo needs the update to use my Ryzen 7 5800x I've followed your steps on multiple sticks and I get different reactions. Some read for a second then power on, one reads it and the red light stays solid, and another does the fast and slow blinks but only for a second or two instead of 5 mins then the light goes off and it doesn't power on.
