Hello,
I can't update my bios. I installed the update correctly but when I press the flashback button, the light stays green. Nothing turns off... plus I have the white led (VGA) and the green led (BOOT) that also stay on... I can't access the bios at all...
The USB key flashes for 2 seconds and then stays on.... if anyone can please help me.

"I can't update my bios. I installed the update correctly." Can you elaborate a bit more? Can you confirm your current BIOS version?

With the BIOS file on your USB, boot into your current BIOS and access EZ Flash under tools in advanced mode. Select the file and follow the prompts to update.

I don't have access to my current BIOS.
I have 8000mhz ram. But when I went into the bios, it said 5600, so I changed it to 7000mhz. Since then, I've been unable to access Windows or the bios.
I had the DRAM light on. So I reset the motherboard by removing the battery, as well as short-circuiting the two CLRTC pins. This rebooted the RAMs correctly, but now I've got these two lights that stay fixed and I can't change the bios. Even when I try to update via FLASHBACK. The light stays green as if it didn't launch...

So i had an issue before where bios flashback would not work, can you check to see if the usb drive you are using is set to MBR or GPT? Some motherboards will not detect the usb drive if it is configured as GPT. You should be able to reset your bios by turning off your computer, and shorting the clearcmos pins of the board. Or removing the power cable, and removing the cmos battery for 10 minutes or so.

Did you check to see if your usb drive is set to MBR or GPT and its formatted to fat32? If it is GPT you need to convert it to MBR first,

"Open CMD as administrator
type: diskpart

Commands in diskpart

list disk

select disk #
(Replace # with whatever number your flash drive is, make sure you are selecting your flash drive, as whatever drive you select will be wiped.)

clean

convert mbr

list disk

create partition primary size=<free memory (in MB)>

Then I created a FAT32 partition through windows "Format..." option. After that I confirmed with "list disk" that GPT flag is not on and everything worked"

I just did what you told me hahaha, I no longer have access to the USB key. When I want to format it, it says impossible.
