I bought this MSI motherboard to make a secondary gaming PC with leftover PC parts (Ryzen 2700X, RTX 2700 super) when visiting my brother. The board's bios was easy to flash and it has worked just fine over the last 1.5 years.
Absolute lifesaver, had a corrupted BIOS and I couldn't use M-Flash to update it. USB Flashback saved me from having to RMA my board, never buying a board without it.
This video coupled with the one you did on how to prep your memory stick before flashing should help a load of people. Given how many people are asking about BIOS flashing in Discord this is bound to help a few people and who knows, maybe another tech TH-camr !!! Thanks for sharing Mike and Kath :-)
You got that right! beta sometimes isn't for the faint hearted, but if you have another pc or laptop in case something goes wrong it isn't so much of a worry
First of all.. thank you, thank you, thank you! I followed your step exactly to the T. My motherboard is back and up and running again! My symptoms were no video output, no keyboard response, and no boot. Now I'm back in business after 4 or 5 days of down time, research, and clearing of the cmos over and over again, which did not help. Reinstalled the BIOS and everything is working as advertised! Thanks again for your help with this matter! You saved me the cost of buying another motherboard at $140 US in 2022.
@Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to Yes..everything is coming back to life. Currently going through Windows updates and bringing things back up to speed. I never thought I would appreciate something as simple as the boot up process and better yet... the Windows login screen...lol! Again... thanks a bunch!
Thanks a lot same here but tbh there was no fat32 option and the rest I did exactly as explained however when pressing the flash bios button it will only flash 3 times and that's it nothing will happen !...
Thanks! Of course, I installed my 4650G without updating BIOS before and was confused why it's not working ;) Did a flashback in a fully assembled system and it booted up after first try. For me it not restarted by itself though, just led keep shining (no blinking), needed to cut off the power after ~10 minutes, just FYI for others that might have the same behavior.
I had a problem with the Bios with the non Max mainboard of this, this video helped me to solve this problem, thank you so much, if I could give 1000 likes, I would do this, thank you so much!!!
Ryzen 5 5500 with this motherboard. Going to try this. UPDATE: This was a new build and this solution worked flawlessly. I just had to make sure I had the correct bios version for my r5 5500 processor. Saved me time and money. Ily mike
Thankyou for this! Working on a new build and I have this motherboard working with windows 11 and a ryzen 7 5700g now. 😎 I managed to flash mine with the components attached, because I only discovered I had to preform the flash AFTER I assembled it everything. Womp womp... As a note, the whole board powers on as normal when you press the flash button! So if you're going to attempt a flash on a standing system be prepared for that. Most videos show a bare board and not a whole lot looks like its happening save for the blinking light. But after the flash, the system attempts to restart. My system did so successfully and seemed to enter into the bios screen automatically, but it is a fresh build with no OS installed yet, so that may have had something to do with the system entering into the bios screen on own.
Hi Mike. Your video is good, simple and help me. For me is flash BIOS for maybe 4-5 minutes, but it work. Hardest is found USB stick, which i can format to FAT32 :D
Muchas gracias por el aporte desde argentina te saludo, pense que si o si necesitaba un cpu para actualizar la bios pero me salvaste de otro gasto. Eternamente agradecido
I done this in November on an msi x570 wifi Edge, I didnt get a que like was suggested with the fan going off and I waited around 45 mins, ending up just pulling the plug. Built the pc and thankfully it worked.
I was able to successfully flash my board and now have a nice system for sale.... B450A-Pro with a Ryzen 5 2400G and 16GB's of memory! what is the difference between the A-Pro and the A-Pro Max? thery look identical.
Thank you so much. MSI manual was not helping me My bios just corrupted after i powered down windows boot ( was stuck for some good minutes). I can't be so unluck to lose two Mobos in just 4 years.
Thanks for the how-to, Mike & Kath! My ASUS TUF H470 MOBO last BIOS update is a BETA (it gives support to 11th gen. processors and fix RTX 3XXX cards issues). Until there isn't an official BIOS release, I'll wait for it.
Since the making of this video they updated their support page ,the newer bios version now officially includes Ryzen 5000 series , that was too fast msi !😀

Hey Mike, this is a very helpful video and I really appreciate you for it. I want to ask a question though since I plan to get B450 A Pro Max and Ryzen 5 5600. Is it possible for the B450 A Pro Max motherboard to suddenly support ryzen 5000 processor? And if it does support it and I bought it brand new and then just bios flash it for the Ryzen 5 5600 cpu, would it be fine? Just asking in case if I did a bios flash on a motherboard that is already compatible I might mess everything up instead lol.

I have a question - do you necessarily have to have no CPU and GPU installed, or does that just not matter? I'd rather not go through the hassle of removing the CPU along with the cooler...
Did you ever review the asrock steel legend? I;m sure thats why i subbed in the first place. If so then did you do a ram overclocking guide? I'm using a 3200 but it has to be overclocked in the bios menu if you want anything over 2600 and i'm pretty sure there's no auto mode. Steel legend is ripe for how to videos, the bios page is all "we do not recommend upgrading when using pinnacle ridge" or "for the pink edition" plus it's super cheap so many people have them. Not a cry for help as i'm quite capable of googling it but just things that annoyed me while building/setting up. Oh, also the AMD ryzen windows drivers were a bastard to find and install, it just gives you the ryzen master app when you look on their website. It was also difficult to even find what version CPU drivers you had installed in win 10, was in control panel but a hidden menu, if my hippie memory serves(which it often doesn't).
I did have it briefly as it was someone else’s and it was lent to me for unboxing, I did see another one for sale on Facebook for £40 but not biting yet as it looks like a scammer
Hi mike, trying to get this motherboard to work with a 4100.. ive tried just about everything i know, checked over the board and the cpu 30 times over but the white CPU light just stays on and the system wont boot. Any help would be amazing. Thanks

Hello, while updating Msi b450m pro vdh-max bios through USB m flash mode, my pc shut down due electricity gone in my area now I am trying to reboot my pc but it is not getting on ez degub led cpu light gets on all the time, what should I do please reply 🙏🏻😭
hi since you are the only one it seems who discussed this, please allow me to ask this as am struggling with this board, i followed all your steps but as soon as the flashing process starts the LED blinks white like 4 times then it turns solid white for over 10 minutes, i tried several flash drives and things to troubleshoot but none helped, also does this board make a beeping sound when turned on ?! because mine doesnt, thank you,
3 or 4 flashes and a solid light means the USB drive or the file cannot be read by the bios flash os. could be the file name or the USB drives soem boards are really fussy on that, feel free to join the discord chat and we can try and figure it out

ok here is the first mistake which i have done and i came to know this when i have done it already.My board is already AMD ryzen 3000 desktop ready and if you have mentioned it earlier i would not have flshed it ,but when i pressed the bios flash button it flashed a few times and stopped ,i came here to see the comments and found out my board is having a sticker of ryzen 3000 desktop ready ,so what does it mean.

My screen doesn't come on at all. I bought MSI B450 A PRO MAX motherboard and AMD ryzen 5600G processor. I have to update the BIOS to use it, but the screen does not come up at all. I am trying to flash BIOS update via USB but BIOS flash LED is blinking continuously or stops after 3 blinks. I format the flash memory in FAT32 format, change the name of the current BIOS version to MSI.ROM and throw it into the flash memory. Then I press the BIOS flash key and wait for result=NEVER. Anyone know how to solve it?

only the max versions have the USB flash, you will need to be able to boot to the bios to update the bios for newer chips
@@mikesunboxing Just by the cheapest processor with integrated graphics (must be compatible with the MB). I bought the Athlon. Update the bios, put the processor back to the box and return it ;)
👍👍👍
Hope it helped :-)
Can i do this with the cpu in place?
Yes you can but take the ram out
im using b450m a pro max and dont have flash button....how to flash bios ?
You will need an older cpu to do it
Hi bud, i have Msi b450m pro-vdh max. I cant see flashback button on it. I have faced an issue after bios update. Computer is opening i see the lights but no display on screen.
cpu led is on intermittently on ez debug led. can i flashback my bios with cpu and no display? is it possible? thanks
no sorry you need the button and the hardware on the board to be able to flash without the CPU installed
Hi! How do i find Initiate Graphics Adapter location on bios on that mobo? I need to reset gpu bios, thanks
not sure i'll try and fire up the board or take a look in the manual
Can we Flash Without A Bios Flashback Button? I don't Have A Flash black Button is B450 pro Max vdh
sorry no, the flash back needs to be installed and have the button to operate it
ok here is the first mistake which i have done and i came to know this when i have done it already.My board is already AMD ryzen 3000 desktop ready and if you have mentioned it earlier i would not have flshed it ,but when i pressed the bios flash button it flashed a few times and stopped ,i came here to see the comments and found out my board is having a sticker of ryzen 3000 desktop ready ,so what does it mean.
Do i need to scrap this board or will it work
thanks
you could try reflashing the board, or check out the live stream we did on saturday where i recovered a bad flash from this board
I dont get it. Do I really have to rename the downloaded file and why? Should I do it for the latest bios update file?
why would i tell you to do it if it wasn't necessary?
does this motherboard support argb???
no it doesn't
Thank you for the excellent guide, Mike! After the 5000 flash, do the 1000/2000 series chips still work on this board?
2000 series seem to but not sure about 1000
is b450m pro-vdh max has bios flashback?
no sorry it doesn't
Please update the bios of B450 arous elite motherboard without cpu
not possible sorry, it doesn't have that option
Please make a video if in new pc windows is not install and bios also not update how to update bios before install windows
Thanks for the Video but after a while of blinking, it stops blinking and just shines
you might need to try another USB stick or verify all the steps in the process
@@mikesunboxing did anything mess up the bios in that incorrect procedure?
@mikesunboxing same issue here except my ram light is on now with the bios flash. The cpu light is off though?¿?
This comment is a little late but my motherboard didn’t come with the bios button is that weird?
is yours the B450-a pro not the max version
It says max but I can’t find the button you pressed.
@@iitswiicked-4335 This is maybe easier to fix or at least advise if we can ask more questions and get direct answers and pics, so feel free to join our Discord chat and we can go over it in more detail discord.gg/gaeeDPw
Will this update support Ryzen 5 5600x?
you will need bios version ending in MC
Mine's led only flashes 3 times and then stops flashing all together, did i do something wrong?
yes that means the USB drive cannot be read
@@mikesunboxing Thank you so much for replying to comments on such an old video
@@stefel7765 No problem, we believe that our viewers make the Channel, so try to reply to all comments 🙂
I have the b450m pro-vdh max, does that support usb BIOS flashback? and if not, do I need an older cpu to update the BIOS? 😥
The max versions should all have usb flashback. If not for some reason you will need an older cpu

My usb flash is 16gb i can do the bios update?
Yes under 32gb is fine
Thanks
Can yiu flash the bios with the cpu in it?
yes you can
@@mikesunboxing K thanks
What’s wrong if it’s only flashing 3 times
wrong file or file name or file structure usually
@@mikesunboxing thanks
After update can i unplug the cables ?
if you want to yes
@@mikesunboxing thanks gonna build my first pc dont want to mess up somethink ( english not my main language)
Do it works on a B450-M?
the micro atx version doesn't have a bios flash button from what i remember
My screen doesn't come on at all. I bought MSI B450 A PRO MAX motherboard and AMD ryzen 5600G processor. I have to update the BIOS to use it, but the screen does not come up at all. I am trying to flash BIOS update via USB but BIOS flash LED is blinking continuously or stops after 3 blinks. I format the flash memory in FAT32 format, change the name of the current BIOS version to MSI.ROM and throw it into the flash memory. Then I press the BIOS flash key and wait for result=NEVER. Anyone know how to solve it?
make sure you have the right bios for the board, 3 flashes means it can't read the file
Can i do this to work with Ryzen 5 5600G?
yes it should do
@@mikesunboxing Thanks
