But even that could be solved easily, because the BIOS chip was socketed, i just put in a matching one i bought for cheap and flashed the newest (correct) BIOS file once more. This is not a much more dangerous method of updating the BIOS or anything, it's just a less convenient one than going through the BIOS or using Live Update. So instead of hesitating because of this (nowadays) unusual flashing method, i would hesitate because i wouldn't know for certain that the bricking problem can't still occur.įor me personally, this is theoretical. As i wrote in the original post, i'm using an MSI Z590 (which also has a Flash BIOS Button). Otherwise i would've maybe attempted that AFUWIN圆4 method in detail and documented it.
