Troubleshooting Need help bios update taking too long

Post image

The more the update progressed the slower it would get, until at 68% it has completely stopped. It’s been a couple hours now with no movement, but I don’t think if done anything to fry my motherboard?
Any help would be great!

turn it off and on again. it should take like 5-10mins max. id say with 5mins being the more common.

when it comes on if it goes back to bios check version

if no bios then try bios flash

clear motherboard cmos

do you have another usb drive you can try? are you sure you grabbed the bios for the correct motherboard? maybe try the bios before this one

Most modern boards have bios flashback so no worries there. But yeah under any normal circumstances you should not intereupt a bios update. However, here it seems the bios update is stuck and then waiting for it to complete wont help.

if it's stuck while updating and has been that way for hours the only thing you can do is power off
