I have an ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming X motherboard with a Ryzen 1700X processor, 2x8GB G.Skill Trident Z, and a Corsair M500 M.2 SSD. I was looking into overclocking my Ram a bit since it's been underwhelming and decided I should make sure my BIOS was up to date. I realized I was still running 1.00. Using the Instant flash in the BIOS to update I updated successfully to 3.00, 3.10, 3.20, 3.40, and then I tried to update to 3.50 so that I could get to the latest. Unfortunately it said it was successful, then upon it restarting it never booted up. No post, no beeps, and the Dr. Debug flashes F2 - F9 - F2 - F9 and then holds at F9. At a complete loss here, the manual and Codes are of no help.
So far I have tried clearing CMOS both with the jumper and by pulling the battery, disconnecting everything except the CPU, RAM, and SSD, and clearing the CMOS again. Then I saw on some forums about loading a USB formatted to FAT32 and loading the BIOS on it to try to get it. I tried every instant flash bios file from 1.00 to 3.50 to no avail.
I'm afraid my mobo bricked. Any suggestions?
