    Today we are looking at how to use the Gigabyte Qflash system to update the BIOS on the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX. The process is pretty much the same for any QFLASH enabled motherboard, with the exception of the actual BIOS file itself will need to be the specific one for your motherboard model, as i explained in the video intro.

      I downloaded some GCC updates and when my pc restarted the DRAM light was on and there was no connection to monitor/keyboard/mouse.
      I tried to reset memory with the manual button, and the red light was alternating between CPU and DRAM.
      I tried resetting the CMOS, and the DRAM light was the only one on.
      I tried booting with one of my two RAM sticks at a time to determine whether either of them was faulty, no difference.
      What else can I try? I've read online to flash my bios but I'm not sure how that would work if the monitor/keyboard/mouse aren't connected.

      Lots of people can’t access the bios so it makes sense to start at the very basic low level, this is becoming more important as amd are releasing more and more am4 parts that even the freshest motherboard stock won’t be ready for.
      The same will be happening later this year for the 9000 series on am5

Also, when they release a new bios update file does it include the fixes from the previous updates?

    Great video. However, I've been having issues after installing the latest bios. Just goes to black screen. Switched RAM position, cleared cmos, used display/hdmi straight to mother board and still a black screen. This was my last hope and yet it still didnt work. It blinks for a few seconds then turns off. Also have this exact motherboard. Any suggestions? Should I buy another board?

    • @mikesunboxing

      blinking for a few seconds is usually either a non supported USB stick or the file is wrong or damaged, try another drive maybe, or the board is just dead / dying

    thanks for the video it's super easy to follow, however, your bios download had just one file. My download has 4 files and a folder, containing another folder with 2 more files. I have the same board and rev 1.2 and currently latest update is FB2. So is it safe to assume I can just rename file "B650AORUSELITEAX12.FB2" or do I need these other files?? D:

    I read where Mike said it could be an incompatible USB drive so the board won't be able to flash the bios. My efforts so far are only resulting in the machine turning on for a second or 2 when pressing the flash button, then guessing it's trying to read the usb drive, failing and turning off. So as a last resort what exact USB drive, make, model, size, is recommended? Also, I'm downloading using a Windows 11 system, but the board is on a Windows 10 system, so I'm using the Windows 10 links. If that matters? Good clear video, seems so easy! lol.. Thank you.

Now I see in the usb drive that there are two files one EFI which just has a boot file and then one bios file with like 5 different parts to it? Is this correct?

    This worked for me, but with weird behavior.
    Upon pressing the button, all system fans started spinning, but that's not unexpected. It first flashed quickly, then slowly. Took about 5 minutes. So far so good.
    Booted, shut down and went to BIOS to re-enable XMP. Apparently this caused another memory training from scratch, which, according to Gigabytes website, is expected to "take longer" on higher speeds. However, after 25 minutes I still had black screens on 32GB DDR5-6000. I just shut it off and turned it back on to which it booted normally. Now this exact problem also occured when I put this PC together...I'm not sure if this is behavior is expected on this board on a full initial memory training?
    Thanks though, I found Gigabyte's own manual a bit confusing, yours was much easier to follow.

    Hi! I'm attempting to update my BIOS to the most recent version to possibly prevent PC crashes when playing games. I have the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice and the problem I'm running into is my USB is not showing up the update bios files in BIOS itself when I enter Q-Flash. I've been following tutorials online and I've mainly been following Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite tutorials with no luck. I was wondering if you had an idea to what was going on. In the actual BIOS update files there is a PDF showing me how to update my BIOS with EFI Shell so that is what I'm currently attempting to do at the moment. I also want to say just in case you think my USB might be faulty,: I've tried multiple USBs so I do not think that is the case.

      On the second try, I put in GPU/RAM, then Q-flash it up. GPU and CPU Coolor fans running; PSU fan not running; RAM led light went up. No Graphic output. The Q-flash light was flashing for 1 min then turns everything off. then RST_SW and RST pins, still not turned on.

      -Took cmos battery out and reset the bios via the connectors
      -Tried the reset button underneath the 24 pin connectors
      -followed this guide to update by q flash for the latest bios version
