I think I brick'd my b550 after updating it

[SuddenS]

So I tried updating my bios for my b550 aorus pro ac because the oc on my ram wasn't working. After the update, I was left with a blank screen and waited 5 minutes for something to happen so I restarted my pc but nothing is still happening. Any insight on what to do or how to fix it?

Your motherboard has a flashback ability for the bios.  Check your instruction manual

Are you able to open the BIOS when you power cycle it? If so, you should be able to use the qflash utility to update the bios again. If you are unable to go into the bios on a reboot, I would say that your board is bricked.

Yes I'm currently trying to do that using q-flash but It seems to be not working. The instructions were to download the correct file and to rename it to GIGABYTE.bin and q-flash is supposed to detect it but it isn't since the LED on my motherboard is stable and not blinking

Update: My keyboard and mouse turned on but that's about it

I did not brick my motherboard and the BIOS Update did not fail. After hours of trying to figure out what happened, it did not cross my mind that after the update I guess the configs I had put in place before were reset. Since the B550 has a 4th gen pcie slot my vertical gpu stand with its 3rd gen pcie riser was not compatible. So I just put I plugged in my card normally and it booted properly!
