MPG X570 Gaming Plus MS-7c37 black screen after installing 7C37vHF bios from factory installed 7C37vHA

[sailinginthesun156d02db]

I wanted to check and see if anyone has had issues updating the bios to 7C37vHF from 7C37vHA that the board was shipped with? I went through the steps to update the bios through the CMOS settings. It seemed to update but when i restarted the system I got a black screen. I went back and reformated the usb stick and reinstalled 7C37vHF and renamed it to MSI.ROM and used the bios flash button. Same thing black screen but the light was flashing on the drive and the system seemed to power up. I tryed to reload 7C37vHA that came with the mother board, same issue black screen. I am now removing everything, water cooler, RAM, cards, and removing the MB from the case per product supports suggestion. I geuss that it isnt wasted time since if that doesn't work its going back anyway. I also tried different manufaturers USB drives, making sure only the root partition existed. The first USB drives i used were genaric, im guessing from CN... then a Sony badged drive which is most likely TN or CH, and now a scandisk ultra.

Anyone with some insight on this or similar issues?

Can you list the rest of your System>>Posting Guide<<

Some directions for you



FOR BIOS FLASHBACK

Following Directions are for windows based OS

Right Click on the Downloaded Bios Zip File, select properties if you see the message this file is blocked by windows tick the box to unblock and click OK.

When in windows File Explorer make sure that you select the View tab and Tick the box Show Hidden Files and File Name Extensions.

Extract the BIOS file from the Downloaded ZIP file Open the folder it was extracted to.

Right click on the BIOS file, select copy and then paste it into a USB drive Formatted to FAT32,

When in Windows File Explorer make sure that you select the View Tab and Tick the box Show Hidden Files and File Name Extension.

Now rename the BIOS file to MSI.ROM

There should be no other files or folders on the USB drive, just the BIOS file you have renamed to MSI.ROM


FlashBack can be used on a fully assembled PC even if CPU is one of the new 5xxx series.

PC must be turned off for BIOS Flashback to be started do not turn on your PC the Bios Flashback will do it for you

Plug the USB Drive in to the USB port just below the Bios Button,

Do not touch any Jumpers on the Motherboard

Push the FlashBack button and then release it,

About 5 seconds later a led just above the USB port will start to flash, after 15 seconds of so the speed of the flashing light will double this is the writing to the BIOS period.

Once done writing to the it will stop flashing and PSU will turn off

For 16MB BIOS it will take about 4 to 5 minutes, and flashing stops.

For 32MB BIOS it will take 6 to 7 minutes, and flashing stops.

People have said that it may turn back on if so just turn off and unplug the PSU.

And Bios should be flashed.

I am fairly sure that I used all of the information above but I'm going to give it a shot anyway. I had read in one post while i was resurching this issue that some generic USB storage devices could pose a problem so I went down that road. Any insight is welcome.

Thank you

Hi,
I would do a CMOS reset.
Do you know if your boot drive is MBR or GPT ? The BIOS default setting changed to UEFI, so recent BIOS versions won't start with MBR drives.
If everything seems OK, but the screen stays black, I would check with a DisplayPort connection instead of HDMI, as this could also change with new BIOS versions.
Good luck!
