In fact, one video stated that you run the risk of bricking your motherboard if you do attempt bios flashback with a cpu, memory & video installed. Looking for help on Youtube, I found several videos which suggested that the bios flashback facility should only be used on a motherboard without a cpu, memory or video card installed. Unfortunately despite many attempts using the bios flashback with downloaded bios files from the MSI website, I couldn't get the system to boot - the screen remained blank, & the debug LEDs still indicated an unrecognised cpu. Sure enough ,once I attempted to boot up the system, the debug LEDs on the motherboard suggested that the cpu wasn't being recognised. The motherboard is an older board that I thought probably had an older bios that didn't support AMD 5000 series processors, but since the motherboard has the bios flashback facility, I went ahead & put the system together, knowing that I'd probably have to use flashback to get the motherboard to recognise the cpu. I've been trying to put together a new AMD pc, using a 5900X processor and an MSI motherboard.
