    In the middle of the update process of the BIOS on my MSI motherboard-problem. it restarted and black screen.
    The file was an exe file, ran it from windows 7. the USB was plugged in the front panel of the computer, it can't see it at boot up, maybe that's the problem.
    I had that problem of black screen, sometimes, before the BIOS update, but now it doesn't beep to signal successive POST.
    I took out and put back the battery, nothing.
    Can i flash the bios somehow?
    MSI H61M-E23 is the motherboard

    Seems like you can put the BIOS on a USB and boot from it.
    Compared to common motherboard which need extra BIOS chips, MSI’s M-Flash has a double advantage which doesn’t need extra components and secondly, all your BIOS data will be saved in the USB drive. The stored data does not only have backup and upgrade function, moreover it can also be seen as a portable BIOS chip which is actually able to boot up your PC.

    Features
    - Backup/Restore Your BIOS to/from Any USB Flash Disk
    - Avoid Unnecessary Repair Due to Accident Failures During The Upgrading Process
    - Earn more BIOS Lifespan by Reducing Unnecessary Rewriting Process
