OEM Locking: MEDION often restricts BIOS versions to specific CPU microcodes. Flashing a generic B460 BIOS from Intel or another vendor will brick the board.
Intel ME Corruption: The BIOS update includes an Intel Management Engine (ME) region. If the ME firmware fails to update, the board won't complete POST.
TPM Settings: Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0. An update that adjusts TPM settings without clearing old keys can cause boot loops.
Power Interruption: A sudden power loss during the 2-3 minute flash window corrupts the boot block.
Incorrect Flash Tool: Using AFUWIN (AMI Firmware Update Utility) with wrong parameters can overwrite critical regions.
