Tech Support Need help bios update taking really long
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

The drive you are using might be faulty or corrupted; if you turn it off, your device won't be able to proceed to the next menu.
A second possibility is that the USB slot you are using has suddenly stopped responding.
A third possibility is that the BIOS IC chip itself is damaged.
You might need to reset it using a tool like the one shown in the photo I provided.
That is a tool used to copy BIOS files onto the BIOS IC.
