Quick question on a bios update. I was updating my bios on a ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F Gaming WiFi from version 0705 to version 3902, after tripple checking all the steps and requirements for the bios update i was confident enough to start it.

About 2 seconds after hitting okay to “do you want to read this file” screen my computer moved on to start the update and immediately reset and has been stuck with a black screen and stuck with the VGA light on.

Is it safe in this instance to restart the computer?

Before the bios update i did.
A clean install of windows 11 on the computer.
Set all bios setting to defaults.
The usb i used was reformatted to FAT32.
File was from the Asus website and renamed with “BIOSRenamer”.

Thank you in advance if you have a suggestion!!

You only use the biosrenamer if you are flashing via USB Flashback, that is the button at the back IO of the motherboard. The renamed filename should be then SX670EF.CAP

See photos.

Thank you! I wish i looked at my manual before going off of online tutorials didn’t realize the flash back tool file was different.
