Update Motherboard using BIOS Flashback Button

BIOS Flashback helps you to update to new or old motherboard UEFI BIOS versions even without a CPU or DRAM installed. This is used in conjunction with a USB drive and the flashback USB port on your rear I/O panel.

There may be several reasons behind this, like faulty current software, so going back to a stable version, etc. There are a few ways that you can use the BIOS FlashBack. Some motherboards and systems will have a BIOS FlashBack button.

The term ‘BIOS Flashback’ itself is explaining what it is. The English word Flashback means set in a time earlier than the main story, which simply means in tech is that go back to a specific version of any software.


You do not need to enter the BIOS screen of your motherboard or use the EZFlash software in the operating system to use the hardware functions of the motherboard to use this feature.

If your motherboard isn’t able to turn on in the traditional sense or see that the power light is on but it isn’t showing anything on display, you can use the USB BIOS FlashBack function. To use BIOS FlashBack, you will need to prepare a USB flash drive with a larger capacity (the larger, the better).

You should note that you need to have at least a little technical prowess to do this process. While the steps themselves are quite easy to carry out, you don’t want to do this before reading through everything and ensuring that you have everything you need and you’ve created a safe environment to do so (don’t do this during a storm!).
