    Question GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro suddenly stopped working?

    I do know that this is a bad idea. I didn't update it through windows manually, my profs guess is that windows did it on its own, which I can confirm can happen. But that still doesn't explain WHY the BIOS bricked the first time since I updated the BIOS a few days before using Q-Flash in the...

    Question GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro suddenly stopped working?

    I updated the BIOS just like method 2. Why is he wrong? I know from experience that windows can update the BIOS itself, if you mean that.

    Question GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro suddenly stopped working?

    My prof answered. He can't say for sure but he thinks that the flash memory that the BIOS is stored on just broke. The back up bios booted and windows updated the bios automatically because it was already about 3 years old. That again caused the second bios chip to break in a similar way the...

    I am actually studying computer science. I have asked my prof about it. Once I get an answer I will share it here.

    Question GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro suddenly stopped working?

    I received my new Mainboard, replaced the old one with it and everything works fine now. At this point I am pretty sure that both BIOSes were bricked, though I have no idea why that happened. Thanks to everyone helping me :)

    Question GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro suddenly stopped working?

    Yes yes of course. 🤣 I think I will give up this board and order a new one with a bios flashback button in case the bios is actually bricked (it could happen again since I don't change any other things in the setup). I will post an update here once I know what the problem is or how to fix it.

    I don't teally remember the bios settings before I ran into problems. I followed your instructions but it didn't help anything.

    Question GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro suddenly stopped working?

    I think I had an idea: My personal feeling is that the BIOS is actually bricked. i don't know what caused that, but it would explain quite a bit. After a few restarts I could go into the bios once, though it was a very old version (f41). I guess I could do that because the board recognized that...

    Question GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro suddenly stopped working?

    That is exactly what I did. I also tried cycling through all four RAM slots in every single powsible configuration with one stick of RAM. My personal next step would be shorting pins 1 and 6 of the main bios chip to force the backup bios chip to flash the main bios chip.

    Question GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro suddenly stopped working?

    I can'teven get the BIOS to show up on the screen. I also tried unpluggung every internal drive and plugging in my linux live stick. A thing to mention is that besides the powercord and the boot device only a keybord and a HDMI monitor are connected to the machine. Edit: Maybe I should state...
