argh... a system came in today for minor upgrades. i thought it was gonna be quick and easy but i encountered a chicken and an egg situation instead.

It has a Bristol Ridge APU and a GIGABYTE A320 motherboard.

Gigabyte recommends to upgrade to F31 first before upgrading to newer versions above F40. Problem with that is, F31 doesn't support Bristol Ridge. F40 Does support Bristol Ridge back though.

Now, If I install the 5000G series APU first, it Won't work either because it is not yet supported on the… See More

F31.

I need to get an APU exclusive for BIOS updates. LOL

pick up the cheapest apu you can afford that will allow you to do it and write it off as a business expense, keeping it around as a tool.

I did encountered the same problem and I got me an A8-9600, a Ryzen 5 1600 and an 3200g apu. Problem solved.

I remember encountering this problem. With new motherboard and CPU back in 2018/19. Sent them back, and that's when I got the Intel z490 and i5 10600K. It was a Asus motherboard, though. It's worth paying extra just for the flashback feature if you can. Solves accidentally bricking, too, as the flashback code isn't part of the BIOS and doesn't even require a CPU.

well this guy caught it early. here's the thing. If i built something, I want it to last. I don't want to keep checking and waiting if something is not alright with the PC. I want to be able to use it without worry.

Cause: User Error (by nvidia)  :rofl:

It's just not a good design. Everything related to it, the connectors, the cables, and the missing circuitry that once could monitor the current. It's all about cutting costs to them, yet, GPU prices are astronomically high, most priced out of a gaming budget.
