Can I directly update from F5 to F51, or whether each >BIOS update in between has to be carried out sequentially ? That >really would be a nightmare ! In your case it is a nightmare. But usually it isn't. "Note: Before updating BIOS to this new version, you MUST follow the steps as detailed under BIOS F40 discription" "Note: 1. If you are using Q-Flash Utility to update BIOS, make sure you have updated BIOS to F32 before [...]. Before update BIOS to [...], you have to install EC FW Update Tool (B19.0517.1 or later version) to avoid 4DIMM DDR incompatibility on 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen=E2=84=A2 CPU."
