Question Asus Rog Strix B550F Gaming --- the "BIOS Flashback" button doesn’t do anything when pressed ?

[Killer Sleeve]

I have an Asus Rog Strix B550F Gaming motherboard. I placed my Ryzen 7 5800x in and get the orange dram light. I tried the fat32 with the renames and bios flashback. However, when I press the button on the back, nothing happens. At all. I hold for 3-5 seconds no led. Nothing at all. Just the usual rgb on motherboard but no flashback led. Any help would be appreciated.

did you put the flash drive on the flashback port?

Yes, named correctly, fat32, but for whatever reason 0 light from the flashback button. The board powers on and everything runs, but without being able to update the bios won’t run a 5800x. So not sure why the button does nothing at all.

if everything run. do the flash in bios

I would, however because it’s not compatible with the 5800x without a bios update, it won’t boot correctly and gives the fault. I can “turn the pc on” and the liquid cooler displays temperatures. All fans run, gpu runs, all the boards rgb functions.

try another flash drive?

I have. My concern is my msi board even without a usb will give a red light when I press the flashback button, but this asus mobo gives no light at all when pressed ?
