Hi,
I just tried booting up Linux pendrive in UEFI mode on my desktop machine. As it failed, I guessed (aka googled it) it might be an old bios version, so I decided to update the BIOS using the built-in technologies. I went into the Tools-section and started "Internet Flash - DHCP". As the european mirror didn't work I selected the USA-mirror, which the BIOS successfully downloaded the update. It worked fine, until it hit the 99% mark. Now it's hung there, neither keyboard nor mouse are responsive. I didn't turn it off yet, because I was too afraid my mainboard may be damaged. It's now displaying "Do not power off during UEFI update",but as it's there for 30min straight now, I'm tempted to do it as a "small" 5MB BIOS-update can't take so long (especcially if the 98% beforehands went quite fast).
My build:
- ASRock B85 Pro4
- Intel Xeon E3-V1231
- Gigabyte GTX 970
Could it be my GPU not updating the picture and the BIOS being responsive the whole time?
Please help, I'm really desperate, it's a ASRock-feature, so I thought it would work well enough.
