BIOS upgrade fail mother GA-A320M-S2H (rev. 1.2)

[andrestecno]

Hi, my USB ports were hanging every now and then when starting up. So I decided to update the BIOS of the mother. Unfortunately, after finishing the flashing through QFLASH with a pendrive of the latest firmware version, the cooler turns on, black screen and seems blocked.

Model: GA-A320M-S2H (rev. 1.2)
Processor: AMD A8 9600
Previous BIOS version: F53

I downloaded the F58d version from here (I think it's the correct one)

Is there anything that can be done? Any idea why it crashed?

Can you get another cpu to test, a Ryzen if possible. See what are the newest your board should support. It is possible that the new bios doesn´t support your old processor anymore.

Other than that, you can get a hardware flasher ( CH341a, for example ) and backup/reflash your bios chip with the original version.

I got the ch341a programmer but it doesn't recognize the integrated winbond 25q128jvsq. What software can I use?

I use flashrom, in linux. In Windows, people use NeoProgrammer or AsProgrammer

When reading bios incircuit u must depower the board completely and disconnect ATX PSU connector. Try also removing the RTC/CMOS battery. Despite that sometimes CH341 can't read bios chip incircuit, depends on board design, if so you must desolder it.
