Hi everyone, it seems that I have bricked a dual bios AM4 mb with a bios update. Hooray!

Process: Installed f5b beta BIOS, rebooted, entered setup with a DEL key and it stuck with a "BIOS reset" message, keyboard not working. Re-installed the same f5b BIOS from windows with @BIOS app (same method) - got black screen.
It seems that the first update triggered dual bios, cause system stuck at the reboot attempt, I had to manually power it off. The second attempt however didn't.

RAM is in the compatibility list: hx426c15fbk2/8

Tried: rebooting, running with a single RAM stick, clear CMOS w/battery removal & jumper, leaving the system in power-off state for 5 minutes, running it for a couple of minutes. No luck.

Hooray! LMAO

Gigabyte boards have a dual bios, a backup bios chip, if you leave it a min or 2 it should kick in, however, never flash a bios in windows environment, alsway download it yourself, put it on a USB stick, and flash it in the bios itself using there Q-Flash app.
