Bios Flash fail

[DG House]

I have an 2600 and a x470 SLI master ASRock Moba

I bought a 3600 and i updated the bios nur i failed

After Bios installed it reboot but i hit the Power Button :/

Now the 2600 and 3600 installed, theres No boot Not even bios

Anything i can do?

 

[Mateyyy]

So you powered the system down while it was still in the process of flashing the BIOS..?

 

If your board supports BIOS Flashback you could give that a shot, otherwise it sounds like you're kind of screwed.

 

Also maybe try resetting CMOS.

The bios Update was full done

I sayed i will reboot gut i hit the Power 

Buttonbecause my 2600 was in

[Levent]

What.

Did you touch anything?

So you broke that board because you couldn't wait for the system to reboot on its own? Incredible...

 

RMA the board and refrain from touching the BIOS in the future.

Try unplugging the power cord from the PSU first then removing the coin cell battery from the motherboard. Leave it out for a good 3 minutes then replace the battery, reconnect the power cord and try booting it.

You don't know that for a fact yet. It seems as though the flash finished before OP hit the power button to swap out the CPU, that shouldn't have killed anything.

The flashing hasn't finished until the board auto resets. It's still finalizing changed when that message pops up. It's why you never rush when updating the BIOS.

Completely untrue. At the point the utility says its finished, its finished. Having it carry on working in the background while saying it is finished would be beyond stupid plus there's the fact it will run a byte for byte verification of the EEPROM to make sure the flash completed before it will say its finished.

 

Nothing outside of the EEPROM flash matters, anything stored in NVRAM can be rewritten by the EEPROM at will (which is exactly what happens when you reset your bios to default values or do a full CMOS reset).

 

So again, we cannot assume OP killed their board yet. It's possible they did but just as possible a simple CMOS reset will kick it back into life. Perhaps OP reset before it had chance to fully clear the NVRAM and its now trying to boot from a corrupted BIOS profile.

 

If a CMOS reset doesn't bring it back then its probably dead (assuming OP didn't mess with anything else).

So one week later and 235€ poorer with an Asus Prime x570

I was on my way to the Hardware store as i wrote this thread, 30min before it closed till monday.

im really happy with the mobo even IMO the BIOs sucks hard.

 

But anyway i will try some recure attemps or RMA my old x470 it if possible

thanks for the super fast responds to all of you in this stressfull moment

i did fail hard but i think i will never fail that again, learning by pain is still the best teacher ^^
