    Just happened to me the other day at THE worst possible moment. I bought a new mainboard which needed a BIOS update to work with my new CPU.

    Me of course being a cheapskate I bought the cheapest one with no Bios flashback. So I put the files on a cheap USB, start the upate and compleatly bricked the mainboard.

    After that I plugged the USB back into my PC and the fking USB corrupted the files.

    Luckily I managed to save the BIOS but absolutley lost it in that moment.
