PC owner updates the motherboard BIOS for more than 48 hours and conducts a photo broadcast

Users of ultra-modern computers seem to have less to worry about. But a motherboard with a strange BIOS is not the most antique.

Reddit user GoatWithAGun updated the BIOS of a PC with a BioStar A320MH motherboard, and after 24 hours the update process was only 66% complete, and it is still not complete, more than two days later. You can follow the process on r/pcmasterrace the last post was a few hours ago. The user seems to be leaving the property periodically, so there may be long pauses between updates.

The computer in question is used as a backup, and it is often used for printing. The owner decided to update the BIOS because of the instability, but he had no idea how long it would take. The PC is made up of components from around 2018. In addition to the BioStar A320MH rev 6.0 motherboard, the owner said Tom’s Hardware about the availability of AMD Ryzen processor 3 1200, 4 GB of DDR4-2400 Kingston HyperX memory, Asus GTX 1660 graphics cards, 128 GB Transcend SATA SSD, and 480 GB Crucial SSD. Despite its age, the computer worked almost normally, unless you played AAA games.

The reason for the long BIOS update is currently unknown and very surprising, as the process usually takes no more than a few minutes. The PC owner suspects that it was due to updating directly from his SSD, but this is more likely to be a guess from the lack of other versions.

The update cannot be interrupted as it will render the system inoperable. The BioStar A320MH is a fairly simple model, and does not have a dual BIOS or BIOS recovery. Therefore, GoatWithAGun has no choice but to wait for the end. He says that the PC does not have an uninterruptible power supply, so sudden interruption of power supply will also disable the PC.
