Issue encountered with Q Flash functionality.
Issue encountered with Q Flash functionality.
I received a brand new motherboard from Gigabyte (Aorus B550 Elite AX V2 rev 1.0). I plan to use the Q-Flash button for my 5-core AMD CPU. When I insert the USB stick and press the Q-Flash button, the USB light only briefly flashes and then stops. The light on the Q-Flash button itself doesn’t activate. I’ve renamed the update file to gigabyte.bin, but it still isn’t working. Anyone know what’s going on?
Are you using a usb stick that is formatted as fat32? ntfs or exfat usually doesn't work. If you have another brand of usb stick ,try that as well, i had usb sticks in the past that didn't want to work when i was updating a bios, kingston and transcend always worked for me. Also don't forget there is only 1 usb port that does the qflash. I haven't used it personally, i do have a Aorus b550 elite v2 (non ax version) but i was lucky that mine came with a f12 bios on it, which surprisingly worked on my 5700g even tho 5000g support was added in f13 . Here is a video of a how to using the same board : Guide
I’ve already tested two distinct USB drives from another manufacturer, placed them in the proper USB port, and both were fat32 formatted. Still nothing happened. Would there be a way to check the BIOS version? I’m not sure if that’s something I can locate.
