Need assistance? MOBO is here to help!
I'm just starting out with this stuff, so please don't get upset. I had my BIOS downgraded to version F40 thinking it might help, but now my PC won<|pad|>'s it. After some troubleshooting—clearing CMOS, checking cables, and re-flashing—I restarted it but got no response. I know Gigabyte support can be slow, so I hope you can help me out.
I don't have a full motherboard model. Checking the Gigabyte B450M listings shows several options. Your CPU model may not be compatible with the older revision. Booting time after updates can sometimes be slow. Wait 1 to 5 minutes for POST or splash screen before proceeding. It helps to verify if it's not starting normally. Some boards offer a BIOS flashback feature—update the BIOS without the CPU, usually using a CH341A programmer. This process can be complex. Could you share your BIOS version or a link to the F40 download page?
Your CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and the MOBO lists it as B450 AORUS M. You've been waiting over 2 hours for a boot and noticed it's taking longer than 5 minutes. You're currently on version F60, which you believe was the reason for downgrading. The issue seems to be that your keyboard isn't responding or any connected devices aren't working.
The person questioned downgrading their BIOS to F40 because they believed it would be a good idea, but the actual reason was likely frustration or confusion about the process.
It seems you're likely using a BIOS version that matches the 5600G chip, while your current BIOS is older. You should update to f61 for compatibility. If you have an older chip, you'll need to reflash it.
It seems like you're curious about a potential performance improvement.
The computer won’t start at all, though the backup drive works. I’ve checked everything to try to access it, but it’s still not working.
Make sure the chip you have is compatible with your BIOS, otherwise it won’t work. You’ll need a different processor from another source.
