Hi! I have an MSI B550 Gaming EDGE Wifi motherboard, and am currently trying to M-Flash the BIOS update from their website onto the motherboard to support my 5800X. I formatted the flash drive to FAT32, 16 kilobytes. I have only the file on the drive, the board is bare with nothing on it except the 8 Pin CPU connect and the 24 pin motherboard connecter. I plugged the flash drive into the USB port, pressed the BIOS flashback button, and now my motherboard has been sitting for 5+ minutes saying it's "reading the drive", based on the fact that the flash drive blinks when being read. The motherboard has not restarted. Do I need to wait it out, or what do I need to do?
