Ncoke0,
. . . I think posting that you had your PC Over-Clocked could be a very helpful insight for others to consider.
I honestly cannot say if leaving your PC in an overclocked state would or could interfere or not.
It goes beyond my own knowledge base to make a definitive statement to it.
I prefer to Post what I know and not speculate unless I have made it clear that I am speculating.
I can only say that it could be a likely cause given the BIOS setting changes made to setup over-clocking could likely conflict with any BIOS or ME Firmware updates. Probably would be a good preventative step to return your PC to its DEFAUT BIOS States before doing Updates.
{With that said, I know for many getting an over-clocked PC setup, tweaked and working isn't exactly a walk in the park. And so, undoing one might not be something most would want to do. On the upside of undoing an Over-Clocked PC is you might learn a better way of doing it the next time around.}
What I Know:
The thing about updates of any kind, be it Windows, BIOS & Firmware updates or other devices is that there is always a risk of something going wrong.
First, I would suggest to anyone doing any kind of update to first do a manual Restore point.
Some updates will do this automatically before installing and for good reason.
Second, is that it is recommended that you TURN-OFF your BitLocker before doing any updates other than a Windows update if you are running any OS that has that encryption for Drives.
Third, would be to TURN-OFF all Anit-Virus & Malware programs before updating. They can cause issues.
Sorry, I forgot another obvious but often overlooked step. Close all Apps & Programs before updating.
Hope these steps help.
Go do crazy some place else, we're all stocked up here!
