Error 46 on the mainboard X870E AORUS

Tech Support

Hello. I,m forcing the issue with the mainboard.

While installing the windows I forgot to connect WiFi anten so I had to press the power button to shut down the PC. Unfortunately after restart the code 46 appeared on my mainboard. RGB from RAM doesn’t work. I can’t go to BIOS, screen is black, fans are spinning..

I searched for help and I’ve found solution.

I tried to do Q flash so I downloaded the bios for this motherboard F6A rev 1.1

I change the name for GIGABYTE.bin and sent to my pendrive which was formatted before for FAT32

I plugged the pendrive to the BIOS USB PORT and pressed Q flash button but DIOD - PC starts but DIOD is not blinking… there is only steady light for 40-60sec and then PC shuts down

Any ideas why I can not perform Q flash?

Is my pendrive to new? Cause I heard that Q flash doesn’t like new pendrive.

I order three 8Gb usb 2.0 pendrive
