MSI? The same thing the author describes happened to me with a new MSI Mortar a while ago. It turns out the BIOS didn't recognize the new Ryzen CPU I bought because it was too new and an update was required. I'd never experienced that before so it took me several hours to realize that and find the "support newer CPU revisions" update buried in one of MSI's support pages. Then I found the flashing process wasn't working and there were no errors to indicate it was really the USB stick I was using that was incompatible. I went through 5 USB sticks before I could flash the thing successfully and have confidence that my brand-new motherboard wasn't a paperweight straight out of the box. Can't imagine what I would have done if I ran out of USB sticks earlier.
