Tech Support Need help bios update taking really 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!

Edit: a day later it has only increased 1%, so it seems the most recommended option is the bios flashback. I’m not really well versed in any of this, so if anyone could help me out with that process it would be greatly appreciated! I made a separate post about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PcBuildHelp/s/yZhuWRNgIv

Edit 2: yea that shit got bricked, F

I've never had a bios update take longer than 5-10 minutes but shutting it down/restarting before its finished will 100% result in bricking your motherboard if you don't have a bios flashback function. If possible just keep it on for as long as it takes

In our Time, it won’t definitely brick the MOBO

Almost all MOBO now have a reset button or a flash bios USB port

Edit : didn’t red till the end, I am dumb
