That not sound to good may have gotten a bad flash

Not sure how you would fix without a BIOS flash tool of chip replacement
CH341A BIOS PROGRAMMER

Do you still get?:

Updating bios.....File not found

If no, try another USB port of the mainboard, use USB 2.0 and the one for USB/Keyboard.
Try a different USB key if problem persist.

Are they the USB keys the same brand?
Try a different one, with smaller size, also try format them in FAT/FAT32 with Rufus 1st.

Hi Svet,

If I not insert any usb
"Bios update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive and reset system"

Usb without file EIVB.BIN

Same result, with 1 memory stick on DIMM1 & DIMM2, also I remove the hard disk, keyboard and mouse and just monitor connected to the board

Hi Svet
Finally I recover my board using the ch341a usb programmer, just want to coment that the bios chip is of 4MB size, fortunately I have the EIVB.BIN generated the first time in the usb when the update fail, the EIVB.BIN file generated using the B2MB is of 8MB and Cannot be flashed due the size.

 

[Svet]

yes that's fine the 8MB is fine for software flashing it will auto trunk
else for manual flashing it need to be in the correct size
