Question I can't update the BIOS ?

[SkyJacc]

hi very new to building pcs but i had recently bought a ryzen 5 5600x (upgrading from a ryzen 3 3100). My current pc is a prebuilt one i bought back in 2020 and am now updating. i know i would have to update my bios before putting this new cpu in but for whatever reason when i download the new version of the bios (B450 AORUS M F60 and beyond that) im unable to update it on the bios menu on the q flash i get a oe mid mismatch error which im assuming is from my pc being pre built and not having the manufactured retail version board. my current bios is
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. F51d CT, 15/05/2020

did you open up the case and have a look at the motherboard itself? Is there Gigabyte B450 AORUS M labeled as well?

try updating with other BIOS versions, like F51 or F52

reset the BIOS by jumper before trying to update

try updating with the Windows tool: @bios from Gigabyte
Please install APP Center first before install this utility.

if this won´t work, you can try the dos prompt:

Bios not updating - oemid mismatch
