Bad BIOS update (i think)

[Matpc]

Hello

 

I currently own a i5 9400f and a tuf b360 m plus gaming br and i´ve updated bios to the latest version

 

Everything was fine ( used computer several times) until a restart ,the computer gave me a black screen saying that the vga card is not supported by the uefi firmware and it enabled csm mode ( weird because i was using the computer fine, without csm enabled but after a restart this happened)

 

I rolled everything back to default (csm disabled) and the computer is working fine

 

That message was completely random and i don´t know now

 

Is there something wrong? Note that i can acess bios just fine now ( csm disabled,default settings)

 

I´m a bit worried now , what happened? Should i ddu the vga or what should i do? I have a galax gtx 1060 oc (factory oc i didn´t made any oc to the system)

 

Also , what would happen if the BIOS update was bad? I updated the bios through bios via asus flash thorugh the network ( the safest method possible i guess)

 

I also wanted to know if there is a way to rollback bios to a previous version

 

Thank you

You should disable CSM long as you are running Windows 8 or newer (I know Windows 7 has support, but its ify).

 

I doubt your BIOS update was bad but you can try flashing it again if you want. Most systems will allow you to go back to an old version, but I would only do that if you find that it is a known issue if your current version (might be hard to find out).

 

If it only happened once, I wouldn't be concerned. If it happens often, then try backing up a version. You should just be able to download the BIOS Image of an older version and apply it. You might get a warning that it is older, but you should be able to continue.

You need to download the version you want from their website and then use the UFEI interface to manually install it.
