PC not working after bios update

[Sijin]

Hello everybody! I’m in a bit off a pickle and hope you guys can help me out. Since I had some USB issues (most ports not working for i think over a year) I wanted to update my bios. I tried updating it with @bios to the lastest version (f15c), but no succes. After the update the computer boots, lights and fans turn on, but get no screen. I tried removing cmos battery, circuiting cmos bios, qflashing the driver with the usb thing in the back (removed all other devices, renamed the file), and tried qflashing older driver (f14) all without success. When qflashing I do hear the pc working, but afterwards still no screen, still same issue. This is about as far as my technical knowledge goes, and I am lost. Anybody knows what I can still do?

Specs
Motherboards: Aurorus b550 Elite V2
GPU 3080ti founders
CPU Ryzen 5 5600X
RAM G.Skill DDR4 Flare-X 1x16GB 3200Mhz (had 2, 1 was broken so curentlly using 1)

Anybody has any idea what I can still do, or ie it a lost cause?

Hate to ask the obvious
Did you plug usb into the QFlash Port and not just any usb port
and have the computer shutdown
Q-Flash Plus Button (Note 3) Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off (S5 shutdown state). Save the latest BIOS on a USB thumb drive and plug it into the Q-Flash Plus port, and then you can now flash the BIOS automatically by simply pressing the Q-Flash Plus button. The QFLED will flash when the BIOS matching and flashing activities start and will stop flashing when the BIOS flashing is complete.

Hello PeterOz,

Yes, i put the usb in the slot that also had a descriptive text next to it and a different color, just below the qflash+ button. Clicked qflash button, usb and small light started flashing, after while computer turns on as well and usb kept flashing and working for about 6 minutes before shutting down (even tho the usb stopped, computer still had power). So it did seem to do something at the very least.

renamed the file

Not 100% sure
Do you have to rename when using Qflash
I know some bios flash you have to rename but to be honest I can’t remember for Qlash of usb.
You have a link to were it says to rename

Saw it in this video:

It was a topic that in general talks about qflashes gigabyte boards, tho it doesnt specificaly mention my model. So gonna try without renaming!

Chapter 2 Page 21 explains on how to flash the BIOS.
