The BIOS version that worked was 0232, the one that was originally on the motherboard. The one I tried many times was the latest 0708. There is also a ver 0605 between them. From Win10 I used EZ Update tool and EZ suggested ver 0605, but when I tried to use EZ update to update BIOS to thet...

Yepp, everything works fine now, including boot to Win 10:-)

I called ASUS and they gave me info on where to find the BIOS version that was originally on the motherboard (that BIOS version is on printed on the motherboard sticker) and when I flashed that version in, everything works fine including booting Win10. And I will definately not try to update...

I unzipped first on other computer, renamed .CAP file, and copied it to USB stick. Tried several reformatted FAT32 USB sticks with only the renamed .CAP file on it. As I now understand it, the BIOS can be corrupted so that a new BIOS loaded by flashback procedure does not work. I guess that if...

Yes I realize that an ASUS RMA is now probably the only way forward. But I really appreciate that you tried to help me out with things to try that I had not thought of myself.

Maybe there is something wrong with the relatively new BIOS ROG-STRIX-Z590-F-GAMING-WIFI-ASUS-0708.CAP, is is dated 2021-04-22...

Thanks for trying to give me more things to try. I now tried what you suggested, single mem stick, no SSD/HD. Exactly same problem as before. I also tried again to clear CMOS with the Clear CMOS button but same result. Since it is same result with/without SSD, with different simple USB...

I have now also tested with another simple USB keyboard but same problem. I have also removed the Win10 M.2 SSD that was booting Win10 successfully before, and replaced it with another unformated M.2 SSD but exactly same problem as before. So it does not seem to have anything to do with with...

I cannot find any detailed info about the bios chip so I guess it is not removable. I the ASUS spec I can read this: "256 Mb Flash ROM, UEFI AMI BIOS".

Yes I agree, and that´s why I am trying to find a solution to load a working BIOS through the BIOS flashback utility.

I tested again to update BIOS with BIOS FlashBack after have followed your recommendation to disconnect all cables, and again, after pressing flashback button for 3 seconds, I could see that during apprx 15 seconds the flashback led was constantly blinking slowly, and after that it started...

Thanks for reply. USB Wired, tried several USB ports, the keyboard lightens up during boot så it seems connected. And I tried both leaving the flash USB and remove it before restart. But same behavior unfortunately.

Nope, I cannot come in to BIOS, del/F2 is displayed but not working. No info on BIOS version. And then stuck with the "bios is updating..."-message again.

My settings are: ROG STRIX Z590-F GAMING WIFI Intel® Core™ i9-11900KF Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 1TB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL 32GB (2x16GB) ASUS Dual GeForce® GTX 1660 SUPER Windows 10 Home 32-bit 64-bit Swedish USB (Retail). Hi, whenever I start my newly built PC, I get message...

Hi, I am having same message "bios is updating. do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system bootup failure." as you had and have also tried everything you mention, exept that when I use the BIOS FlashBack, the BIOS led starts blinking constantly for about 6-7 minutes and then it is...
