Hi all.

Basically I just went to update my bios. After about ~45% of flashing the update, my PC restarted and screen went black. Eventually I rebooted but now my PC isn't posting.

I did some research and apparently this is an issue with MSI.

There's a solution but the steps make no sense to me. Is there a tech wiz that can seriously dumb it down as much as possible? Here are the links with the apparent solutions: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=170232.0

And

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do you update the BIOS? via MSI liveupdate or Mflash?

As I know, MSI Mflash supports to update BIOS+ME.
The system will flash the system BIOS first and the system will reset to continue updating ME.
As the system flashes ME part, USB pen drive with BIOS bin file is requested to connected.
