Inspiron 5675, Bios update freeze
I was just requested to do a bios update on my brand new computer. I did the update and immediately after my computer began to freeze. Why is this occurring and why would dell push a bios update that is causing this ?

Here is the Dell procedure to recover from a corrupted BIOS update (If that is really the problem).

You also have the option of calling Dell Support. Only Dell Support can provide warranty support.

If the older BIOS works OK, I would just stay with that.
Best option, from what I see, is to manually install a BIOS rather than let the Dell updater do it. I've seen posts from others (not this model PC) with problems with the Dell updater but no problems manually installing. Not everyone has problems installing BIOS' with the updater (It worked OK for my Inspiron 15 BIOS update).

Shouldn't be a problem. The latest BIOS update is listed as "optional".

I just did the same thing tonight 4/15/2022 bio update said urgent but just bricked and trying to learn how to undo this? I have the 1700x cpu and did not know if I should just buy a 5676 mobo and upgrade cpu later if that is an option but really just got this used computer and wanted to update drivers.

Here is a link to the various BIOS recovery procedures. If lucky one of the procedures will recover the BIOS.
