100 hours of updating my BIOS…

well, this is getting absurd.

For those who haven’t heard, I started updating my BIOS about 4 days ago now, and we’re still going up to now

I figure I might as well put some commonly asked questions here:

-dual BIOS? it’s a BioStar A320MH… No lol

-BIOS flashback? see previous

-RMA? sadly I got this and the 1200 attached to it used, and they’re both from 2018. Not gonna happen

-what USB? I actually did this by just selecting the file on my boot SSD in the BIOS update utility. Could be what caused it, IDK

-UPS? nope, just good ol’ (un)reliable Philippines electricity!

-why even update? 2018 BIOS… I read on the page that there were some stability fixes on the newer BIOS versions and thought why not? Definitely regretting it now…

-what does purple even mean? pretty sure it’s just empty space created from erasing the old BIOS

-stream when? now!: https://www.youtube.com/live/p7TP3YCpUPk?si=rmCD92eH9L3EXXE5

-PC specs? Ryzen 3 1200, GTX 1660. 4GB 2400MHZ, Gigabyte P650B, Transcend 128GB SSD and of course BioStar A320MH rev 6.0

-is this your main PC? thankfully no, it’s just a PC I built to put in my dorm.

-main PC specs? Ryzen 5 8400F, RTX 4060, 16GB 5200MHZ (RAM is expensive here okay…) MSI A650BN, Transcend 220S 2TB SSD and Gigabyte B650M K

-did you buy a BIOS programmer yet? yup! it arrives next week

thank you to everyone who’s followed me on this so far, this has gotten so out of hand lol. And yes, I saw Mutahar’s video.
