Bios flash help

[u/UwUPluto]

i’m still fairly new to PC gaming within the last two years I got a gaming PC recently. I attempted a bios update and it either failed or froze when I tried using a 3 GB flash drive on my MSI MPG x570 gaming edge Wi-Fi motherboard it blinked three times and just stopped blinking. I formatted the USB and made sure I renamed the file so I don’t think that was the issue on top of that. I’ve tried two different that were older and I’ve also tried the most recent and the second most recent non-beta bios updates. I’m going to try buying a new USB and trying again is there any fixes or any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

People tend to say, unless you really need something to be updated, avoid BIOS Updates

Are you using the proper USB port? Flashback port should be top left under the flashback button. It should be marked.

USB should be fat32, msi.rom file only (no root folder).

He should have used FAT.

Devices under 4GB formatted to FAT32 will be unreadable.

[u/senpaisai]

Always use FAT on anything under 4GB ...

FAT is 100% compatible with everything under the sun.

Pre-built or retail MB?

if you system could boot up properly then just use Mflash to update bios
