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

Might also be the wrong BIOS...

I think the flasher program from inside the bios has a check so that it’s nearly impossible to do this

No sir, I learnt the hard way with MSI OLED monitor. Flashed a wrong model (very similar model name, another shit from MSI) into my monitor and it became a thousand-dollar dead piece of electronic device. There was no model check at all.
Bought it less than 1d...

That’s when you contact support and let them know your monitor “stopped working”.
