@Skiiwee29 Okay so I don't know what to do... What happened was, in the bios ez flash utility, the long progress bar went all the way to 100%, and it said it successfully installed and my system would restart. When it restarted, it went to the black screen with white text ""Bios if updating, Do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system bootup failure." So it rebooted 2 times to this screen, on the third reboot is when my monitor did not have a signal, so I didn't know what to do. I waited 30 minutes then I pressed the reset button and it booted up one more time to the (Apparently this dram monitor no signal boot thing is a bug for these new asus dark hero boards) "Bios if updating, Do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system bootup failure." screen then it went to the bios after that. And I've been able to boot it multiple times without a problem. I haven't installed windows 10 yet as I DON'T know if the bios installed properly or not. My question is 1. Did it update properly? 2. If we don't know, then can I just flash it with the same bios version so I know it installed properly? 3. Will flashing the bios to the same version safe and won't do anything to the motherboard? Will it be like a fresh Bios version (Where I actually know it completed 100%?) 4. There's a lot of ppl that say flashing your bios to the old, same version isn't safe. I don't know who to believe. So much conflicting answers What should I do? If you think it finished the update where it left off when I pressed the reset button then I'm fine with that. If we don't know for sure, should I flash the bios with the same version since there isn't a newer version yet Motherboard is an ASUS Dark Hero
It restarts several times during the update of Asus boards, which is typical. Afterward, it will restart again a few times as the BIOS adjusts and optimizes memory timing settings.
I understand the issue you're facing. It seems the system didn't boot properly on the third reboot due to a lack of signal. After waiting 30 minutes and pressing the reset button, it returned to the black screen with white text saying: "Bios if updating, Do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system bootup failure." I'm curious if this indicates a successful update despite the signal problem. Would re-flashing the BIOS to the same version help ensure it installs correctly this time? Thanks for your patience, Skiiwee29!
It confirms the BIOS version you installed. If it didn’t function properly, the device would almost certainly be damaged.
It clearly displays the right version. However, when it attempted to restart three times to complete the updates and my monitor failed to send a signal, pressing the reset button brought it to a halt at its current state. Since I’m unsure what caused this issue, I’m quite concerned I might have made a mistake. But the system is now booting fine and has worked several times already. I’m hoping for advice from knowledgeable users before installing Windows 10, as I’d prefer to address the BIOS first. Thanks again for your assistance.
It's okay if it starts working properly once the BIOS loads after a few restarts.
I understand you're concerned about OCD and want to ensure the same BIOS flashes correctly. Flash the same BIOS on an older HDMI monitor? That’s a common worry. It’s generally safe if you’re using the correct version for that specific hardware, but double-check compatibility. Some sources suggest it might not work with older BIOS versions, and repeated flashes could risk damaging the chip. Always confirm the BIOS is supported for your device before proceeding.
