So yesterday I assembled my very first PC. All went smooth, I had a successful boot and installed windows. For some idiotic reason, I decided to flash the bios (as AMD advertised better zen2 performance with the new update) with the latest version from the ASUS page, at which point I started having troubles since the mobo diag system started hanging on the VGA LED. So it goes RAM (I think?), then CPU, then VGA, then the BOOT led flashes. In my case it goes all smooth up to VGA, then shortly jumps to the BOOT led, only to return once more to VGA, at which point it hangs there.
What the hell have I done wrong? Granted I maybe shouldn't have toyed with the BIOS, but I don't believe the MOBO should be bricked because the BIOS flashing was smooth until the end - until the system rebooted.
It was a nerve wracking experience to assemble all the parts, especially since the space inside the case is very cramped (it's the Obsidian 500D if anyone is wondering) so I could technically take the GPU out but I'd rather not since I would have to remove the CPU tower cooler first. Also the mobo has a rollback bios USB slot on the back, with a button above it, so maybe you can downgrade the BIOS even without accessing it? I'm a n00b so am not sure.
Mobo is ASUS ROG STRIX x570-f (in retrospect, a waste of 300 Euros), GPU is Asus Nvidia RTX 2080 Strix.
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated
