[SOLVED] MSI B550 BIOS flash just going on for infinity

[Blackhawk47k]

Okay so I took the mobo out the box pre tested my psu and made sure everything was right. I followed these steps
rename the BIOS file to MSI.ROM
format the usb to FAT32
and move it onto the usb
connect the cpu_pwr1 and atx_pwr1 from your psu
(plug in your psu first)
plug the usb w/ the file into the "Flash BIOS Port" in the rear IO
press the flash bios button on your MOBO
and the LED should flash
and then once the process is done your LED will turn off

my psu hasn't turned off and neither has the stupid blinking on my USB or the motherboard light beside the flash button. that light is staying hard red while the usb is flashing. I read other threads and a bunch of people just returned the mobo and it worked the 2nd time but is there anything I'm missing before I do that? If there isn't, does anyone know how I can cancel the flash without bricking my mobo? its been about 3 hours

This guy seems to have the best how-to for MSI's BIOS flashbacks. One thing I learned was to use ALL CAPS to rename MSI.ROM.
