Hello,ive been trying for the last hour to update the mobo so i can use 5600x on it but i cant.Ive downloaded the files and put them into usb drive that is format 32.Then im trying to use the mflash from msi bios,then pc restarts and tries to boot into that mode for 10 seconds and then restarts itself,when it restarts then i see a message exit flash mode... and it goes back to bios main menu.

did you follow the video?


Before updating: Please download the latest BIOS file that matches your motherboard model from MSI website. And then save the BIOS file into the USB flash drive. Updating BIOS:
  1. Press Del key to enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
  2. Insert the USB flash drive that contains the update file into the computer.
  3. 3. Select the M-FLASH tab and click on Yes to reboot the system and enter the flash mode.
  4. Select a BIOS file to perform the BIOS update process.
  5. After the flashing process is 100% completed, the system will reboot automatically.

you could try to update it via live update 6?
