B450 MSI BIOS problem reported. Update issues detected.

05-11-2018, 12:04 PM

I just swapped out my MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC because the previous one wasn’t performing well. The new board is functioning properly, but it still has an outdated BIOS and my Bluetooth isn’t working. Regarding the issues—my motherboard includes a BIOS (E7B86AMS.1D0) and I attempted to update it using a USB drive and M-Flash, but only the pendrive was recognized and the BIOS files weren’t found (ERROR: BIOS files don’t exist). I’ve tried various USB ports, ensured the drive is FAT32-formatted, and even extracted the BIOS files. Here are links to the motherboard BIOS and the pre-installed version you provided. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Sure, I just wanted to check if you attempted to flash BIOS for one motherboard to another.

It seems like a simple inquiry, though maybe it could be better phrased. The BIOS is often packaged in a compressed file. Did you already unpack it correctly?

I changed the motherboard from the service center, but it showed a different BIOS—Gaming Plus instead of Pro Carbon. I unzipped it and it worked. I already noted the changes.
