Problem with q flash

[justTjebs]

I got a brand new motherboard from gigabyte ( Aorus b550 elite ax V2 rev 1.0) I want to update my bios with the  q-flash button because I have a 5 gen amd cpu. But when is put  in the usb stick and press the q flash button the usb stik light only lights up for a few seconds and stops lighting up. And the light in the q flash button does not light up. I have renamed the bios update file tot gigabyte.bin. I checked al the cables and it stil doesn’t work. Does anybody know how it wil work?

Most B550 boards should ship with Zen 3 BIOS. Which USB port are you sticking the USB in?

Are you using a usb stick that is formatted as fat32? ntfs or exfat usually doesn't work.

If you have another brand of usb stick ,try that as well, i had usb sticks in the past that didn't want to work when i was updating a bios, kingston and transcend always worked for me.

Also don't forget there is only 1 usb port that does the qflash.

I haven't used it personally, i do have a Aorus b550 elite v2 (non ax version) but i was lucky that mine came with a f12 bios on it, which surprisingly worked on my 5700g even tho 5000g support was added in f13 .

 

Here is a video of a how to using the same board :Guide

I already tried two different usb sticks from a different brand and in the correct USB port. Both usb sticks where fat32. And it didn’t work. I’d there maybe an option to see what bios version it has? Because I can’t find it anywhere. ( or didn’t know it was the bios version)

The one to the right of the bios flash back button. The one the manual says is the flash back port

There will most likely BIOS version sticker on your BIOS chip. Just look around for it.
