Flashing BIOS and Installing Windows 10 - Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming WiFi Motherboard

Welcome back to this bit for you in this video .

I'm gonna show you from start to finish , from flashing your bias to installing windows 10 and installing all the drivers for your ASIS Rog B 5 50 dash F gaming wifi motherboard .

So let's get started .

I've already turned the machine a little while ago .

Just to take pictures .

It wasn't connected to a monitor or anything .

So at least I know it gets power .

But after that , I don't know what's working .

I don't know what's not working .

So we'll find out in a second .

First thing we're going to do is flash the bios .

Now , I've already downloaded the bios from the website and I'll show you how to do that once we get back into windows .

But anyway , let's flash her real quick .

So now she's turned on thumb drives in there in the machine .

So let's see what we get on the screen .

Ok .

That's not bad .

Please set up to recover bias settings .

That's cool .

So , what we're going to want to do now is go into the bias .

All right .

So we'll just press F one to enter the bias and in the bias .

We'll come over here , you can use your mouse , we'll go to tool , then we'll go to AIS easy flash utility .

Then we'll go to our thumb drive , which actually we're already in and then we'll see here the bias I downloaded and extracted the zip into .

Yes , I want to read this file .

So while this is flashing , we can see here the top piece that has an NV ME SSD and right below that another strip that you know , if you don't know for both of them , you can't tell they're there .

But this is another M 0.2 SSD .

Pretty awesome .

The , the way that they've all put that together .

Yeah , I did forget to put a screw in there , but I'll fix that in a little bit .

All right .

So once you're done , just go ahead and click .

Ok .

And in the system rebooting , we're going to be again , shown the bio screen .

So we'll go ahead and hit delete or actually in this case , F one to enter the bio .

All right .

So now that we're in the bias , just make sure your system date and system time are correct .

So now we'll come over to A I tweaker , we'll go ahead and set the A I over clocker tuner to do CPD OCP is X MP .

What that's going to do , it's going to automatically set up your memory so that you don't have to play with all the timings and the megahertz and everything .

But of course , after you know , you're stable , you can always go ahead and overclock even with the OCP enabled .

So we'll go ahead and yes , on that spread spectrum , just go ahead disable that performance enhancement .

I like to enable that memory frequency is 3000 again , later on if we wanted to , we could come in in here and overclock it and everything .

But we're not going to in this video , the FLFCLK frequency that's going to be half the speed of your ram .

So we'll go ahead and set that at 1500 .

Ok .

And do you notice how that set automatically because of the OCP ?

Now we'll come over to advance and since this is the first time I've been in this bias , I'm doing a little exploration with you guys as well .

All right .

And yeah , we'll leave that all enabled for now .

SA APORT enabled , even though we're not using any of the SATA ports , we'll go ahead and leave that enabled SATA mode is AC I or if you want to enable raid , I'm gonna go ahead and skip enabling raid for now , but we can do that later on .

Let me know down in the comments below if you'd like a video on raid .

Ok .

MV .

Raid mode enabled smart self test .

Smart is actually an acronym .

I don't remember what it stood for but S MA RT that's testing your SSD , making sure that everything is good once it notices that your SSD or your hard drive is failing .

It'll give you a notification sometimes .

Now , while the system is on , you can always go ahead and with what I'm enabling now , you can always plug in a SATA SSD , not an M 0.2 A regular SATA SSD , which this does have six SATA ports .

Now HD , audio controller enabled , if you had your own sound card , you would disable that and use your own sound card .

Video card is GEN four , I like , even though auto would probably pick it up , I like to manually set things .

This is the very first M 0.2 SSD , nothing here .

Then down here the other M 0.2 SSD because of the chip set , the B 5 50 chip set is on GEN three land enabled wifi controller and Bluetooth controller enabled .

If you're not going to use those , you might as well disable them .

I like to leave the power off when the lights go out that way , you know , nothing gets corrupted .

We're not going to be doing any overclocking , but that's what all these would be for .

And since we don't have raid , we won't set that up here .

Ok ?

I've gone ahead and replaced the thumb drive that had the bias on it with the windows 10 install .

If you're unsure on how to create that thumb drive or how to install windows 10 separately , I'll leave links down in the description below .

So you guys can check those out afterwards , ok ?

And at this point , we can go ahead save changes and reset and ok .

Ok .

Now it's booting straight to the windows thumb drive .

I selected 32 bit and 64 bit to be on the thumb drive just in case we're going to go ahead and install 64 bit .

Ok .

Leave everything English if you're speaking English , of course , next install .

Now , not going to put a key in on this one .

So I'll click , I don't have a product key .

Then I select whichever version I do have a key for which will be pro or one that you intend to buy a key for later on .

Next .

Definitely read through all of this very important information .

I read it all I accept and next , make sure you choose custom .

And here we're going to have both of the M 0.2 S SDS drive zero would be the very first one at the very top and drive one would be the very last one on the bottom .

And we select next , this is going to take about seven minutes or so .

So we'll be right back .

All right .

So then at this point , let's start with the region .

So United States for me , us keyboard layout .

Yes , skip .

Now we'll go ahead and connect to our wifi .

Now , the reason Windows has all these device drivers and everything right when you start off is that's built into that is o so they plug in a bunch of drivers and everything to get you ready when you're installing windows .

So that way , even if you don't have the drivers immediately , you can install them later .

And I always recommend to install the drivers that your motherboard calls for .

Don't ever stick with what windows gives you set up for personal use .

Next , I'm going to choose offline account for now .

Limited experience , this bites for you .

Skip Parnell .

You could leave this all default and , or change it as you wish .

I'm just going to go ahead and accept not right now or ever for me , you may like it .

All right .

So at this point , we're done installing windows , we're done flashing the bias and configuring the bias .

So now all we need to do is download all the appropriate drivers .

So let me show you how to do that real quick .

Ok .

We can close all this for now , maybe later .

And I'm gonna go ahead and skip that for now because I want to show you the manual way to do it .

Ok .

So we open up edge .

All right .

And we'll go to AIS dot com .

You can always download chrome or however , but I'm just gonna go ahead and skip for that right now .

Products go to Motherboards Republic of Gamers .

Now , here we'll look for the socket AM four and then it starts sorting things out for us AM DB 5 50 .

Ok .

And B 5 50 gaming wifi click on that , then we'll click on support here .

Ok .

And then we'll go to drivers and tools .

Now , bias and firmware .

This is where I downloaded the latest bias .

You saw version 12 16 .

By the time you see this video , it might be newer drivers and tools and then select your Os Windows 10 64 bit .

Ok .

So here we'll download the land driver , the wifi driver chip set , but we're actually going to download a different one in a second audio .

We're not connected to the board's VG A .

We have our own card , but if you did use the boards VG A , go ahead and download that Bluetooth and the A I suite , the Sata drivers .

But we'll go ahead and download our own as well and the Armory crate .

Now , while all that's downloading , we'll open up another tab and we'll go to A MD dot com , we'll go to drivers and support .

And then here since we're using the 5 50 video card , Rx 5 50 series and 5500 XT submit Windows 10 64 bit .

And we'll go ahead and download the latest and the greatest .

Now , while that's downloading , we'll come back to drivers and support chip set A four B 5 50 we'll click submit here .

We'll download the latest and greatest chips at drivers , the latest and greatest A MD Raid installer .

Even though we're not in Raid , we are using a , all right .

And that looks to be all downloaded for me .

Yep , it's all downloaded .

So at this point , we can go ahead and close this window out .

We'll go to downloads now .

You need to do this in a very specific order .

Ok ?

So the A MD chips set driver will install the chips set first .

Like when you build a house , you need to build the frame of the house first .

That's the base chips set is the base .

And while that's doing its thing , I like to disable U AC that little prompt that ask me yes or no .

So just click start , type U AC and select no .

Ok .

And yes .

A lot of people freak out when they see that they want to be , have all those prompts for security .

It might be best to leave it enabled for me .

I like to disable it and I wanted to show you the easy way to disable it .

Ok .

So we're going to go ahead and accept all of this and do install says restart required , but you don't restart until this is done .

All right .

And the chips , that software is installed successfully .

Now , we click close here and then we manually restart through here .

All right .

Now we'll come back after rebooting .

We'll come back into downloads .

Now we'll install the raid software .

Ok ?

And now it's telling me that we need to do an update for this to work .

So we'll just click start type update .

Let's go to Windows updates and check for updates .

So Windows is going to find as you can see and actually let me click view optional updates here , driver updates .

And I'll go ahead and select everything here because why not ?

Just to make sure we install everything , get windows up to date as much as possible , even though it's going to install a lot of the drivers that we have here , Windows is always going to have or Microsoft is always going to have an older driver .

So we'll go ahead and do everything .

Windows says , cool , all that good stuff when it's done , then we go back and continue installing the regular drivers that we've already downloaded .

So since it's done some driver updates for the video card , my capture card isn't working right now .

So let me finish this install and I will be right back .

Ok ?

So now that we're back in windows , I still can't use my capture card , but that's ok .

We'll get to that in one second .

So now we'll go ahead and install the raid software .

And by the way , it asked me about the Armory Armory crate .

I canceled it .

We'll get to that a little bit later on .

Ok .

So system's not in raid and that's ok .

Maybe it said that before and I just didn't see it so sorry about that .

So what I'm going to do now is just extract all of the drivers , you never install them inside of the zip file .

And even though I downloaded the chip set , we don't need to use it .

An Armory crate is ok because that is in executable .

So now we're installing everything first , driver wise that is on the motherboard .

So , go with sound , do yourself a favor whenever it asks you to restart .

Restart .

All right .

So now back in windows , we go to downloads at this point , we've installed everything on the motherboard itself and now let's install the A I suite .

Yep , reboot .

All right .

After a reboot , it sounded kind of repetitive .

Right .

Let's go ahead .

Install land .

This one will not ask you to restart or it shouldn't at least .

Ok .

That is a silent install .

So I won't bug you if I may not .

Looks like another silent install .

Perfect .

Ok .

And now Bluetooth , perfect .

Another silent install .

Those are great .

You don't have to restart for silent , typically for silent installs and we've already installed the A I suite .

So now we need to install the video drivers .

So we'll go ahead and leave this factory reset required that goes ahead and strips all the old drivers and allows , prepares the OS for a fresh set of drivers .

All right .

And manually restart or wait two minutes .

All right .

And now when you come back into windows , it'll complete the driver installation .

All right .

And hopefully last time another restart .

All right .

Now that I've disabled the H GP on the video drivers , my capture cards working again .

But at this point now we're done installing the drivers .

But there's one thing missing where it's the second SSD , right ?

So right now , if I were to come over here , click on file explorer and go to this PC , we don't see that second M 0.2 .

So in order to enable that just right , click on your start button , go to dis management .

Now , if it's a brand new drive , you're going to have to initialize the disc , choose GP T click .

OK .

So all that does is initialize the drive , you can use it at this point .

So just right click where it says unallocated new simple volume .

Next , just leave that default unless you want to partition it .

Next , I'll leave that as my D drive and I will call it games .

We'll leave it quick format .

You don't want to do filing folder compression next and finish .

Now within a few seconds , boom , just popped up .

That's our drive .

And now we have that secondary drive at this point .

How do you know even though I've told you how to do it , how do you know if it works ?

Right .

So if you right , click on your start button and click on device manager , you notice you don't have 1000 splats .

Now , this one should have been the A I driver .

But what we'll do is just update driver search and automatically Search windows update and we won't download this one because that's a video driver .

Restart .

Now .

Now the intel dot net is your network adapter .

So I probably found a newer driver .

All right , now that we're back in windows , right .

Click on the start button , device manager and then we're good .

So you always want to make sure your device manager is free of those splats or error messages or warnings or anything .

Your device manager is every single component in your machine .

If there's a splat , if there's an error or a warning along those lines , chances are you're probably experiencing a lot of issues that will help you won't resolve everything , but it will help you get everything up and running .
