ASRock B75M-GL freeze after updating bios (not permanent brick)
Hello, I've also sent a message on the official site, but i'm not sure they have an actual fix or if anyone will read. I'm hoping here to find at least one person with this model of mb and tell me the bios upgrade to the new version was successful. I have reasons to believe they've released a bad file. I'll explain here what's wrong...
The 1.20 bios (first official update) for B75M-GL is freezing everything at the load screen after trying to update.
Error message at the bottom right screen is "B4" and the brick message is just displaying the basic Asrock 1.0 bios version and date of manufacture above.
Problem comes right after UEFI detects the bios version from my fat32 hdd and i push enter button to continue flash. Immediately, the system turns off, comes back after 3 seconds, and freezes with the B4 message.
At first, i thought my mb was bricked because the failing bios update, but this is fixed by clearing CMOS - removing battery. And then, when i go to bios, it still displays as 1.00 version------ this is because update never happened.
I redownloaded the file and repeated the process several times. It's the same freeze constantly if i don't do the battery reset trick.
I did download v1.00(default) from the site, and just to prove myself i'm capable of flashing a stupid bios, it worked. I rewrote the v1.0 with 1.0 :) So the problem is from their end. I've also tried again after this to flash v1.20 and it freezes again. Also I've tried removing gpu/hdds/everything usb, you name it. Same thing!
Maybe this is common and you guys here experienced this in the past with other mb's and bios versions? Or maybe i'm doing something wrong, even if i've tried everything possible to make it work. At least it's not bricked

wow, i can't believe this. not only they've actually read my message, but they've fixed and uploaded a new bios version
