Edit: I have managed to create a bootable USB stick with Rufus. When I try to boot from the USB, I get the message "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart." Pressing keys does nothing. I tried removing every drive but the USB stick. Same thing.
I'm about to send back a GPU, as I'm running out of time to return it. I think it might work if only I could flash my BIOS, but I'm having no luck.
I kept trying to make a bootable USB and failing. I was using HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, V2.2.3 and it kept saying it could not format the USB stick. The one I was trying to use is an old 2Gb one, which Disk Management said was healthy after formatting. I suppose it could be damaged. Tried a 16Gb one, but that can't be FAT format, as it's too large.
Wanted to avoid it, but tried flashing through Windows, as I was at my wits end. Using Foxconn Live Update, I kept trying to update the BIOS. Every time, it looks like success, and it asks me to restart computer. I do, and then the BIOS is still the original version. I have found a Boot Block setting, that I have unticked. Still no luck. I have noticed that any settings I change in Live Update don't save. They always go back to default when I close and reopen the program.
The board is a Foxconn H61mxl-k. I've made sure to change the Super BIOS protect to disabled in BIOS setup, and moved the PCH_ME_enable jumper to pins 2-3. I'm using Windows 10 (not activated yet).
What am I missing?
