I recently bought a kabylake i7 7700k and tried and to install it in my motherboard and it obviously didn't work since my bios was not updated to support the next generation processors.
After researching the Internet I learnt that the bios can be flashed using the flashback technology available in the motherboard.
I downloaded both 1.H and 1.G versions of bios updates and tried to flash it but with no success, since I followed all the instructions in the internet.
I formatted the 16GB flash memory with FAT32 and renamed the update file to MSI.ROM as instructed and plugged the flash memory to the designated USB port. When I press the flashback button in the motherboard a steady red light appears and then nothing seems to happen.
I cannot get my hands on the 6th Gen processor since I sold it. Any help at this point will be amazing
my specs:
MSI z170a Gaming M7
i7 7700k Kabylake
MSI GTX 1060
8GB Corsair vengeance DDR4
Thermaltake AIO Water 3.0 CPU cooler
180GB intell SSD
5x 1TB sea gate SATA drives
750w Thermaltake PSU
