Hello, I just purchased a Asrock AB350 Pro4 last week and im trying to figure out how to do a bios update my current bios version is 1.30 and the latest bios version is 2.50.
Well, I've searched how to do a bios update and they say just download the bios update (ROM) put it on a flash drive and then instant flash. but in my current bios version it doesn't have any instant flash under it. And i learned that the instant flash will appear on bios version 1.50 or up.
This is from asrock FAQ: on how to update bios on am4 platform :
(Since AMD AM4 is a new structure and we just found BIOS cannot be completely updated by our Instant Flash. Thus, for the old BIOS version released before 2017/03/07, there is no "Instant Flash” option under BIOS. To make sure BIOS update can be executed completely, please use DOS or Windows BIOS update methods to do update temporarily.
After updating to the following version, Instant Flash functions and options are supported under BIOS and it can be used for updating the newer BIOS file in the future.)
and the only way to update bios is to update it within windows right? but when i download the bios update (DOS) and tried to open it windows is having error that it doesn't have the application to open the .exe so i've searched again how to do it within windows maybe i'm doing something wrong and saw in the tutorial thats when they download the bios updates they get 3 files 1 .exe file and 2 .sys files. can someone tell me how to do it is there something im doing wrong or am i missing something? can someone give me the link for my motherboards bios update with 1.exe and 2 .sys files. Thanks.
