I flashed my MSI mobo and I need someone to tell me I did not mess up
Alright so I have a MSI x99 SLI Plus motherboard. I needed to flash it in an attempt to solve a hardware related issue. I haven't flashed a bios in 12 years so I did do my research and I'm pretty sure I downloaded the correct file from MSI. I hope (Support For X99S SLI PLUS | MSI USA | Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design). I put the newest stuff on the USB, went into bios, flashed it using M-Flash and everything was successful.
Since my PC is actually booting I guess we got that going for me.
The problem is that the start up screen of my bios, when I turn on my pc, used to be very different, very ugly, and clearly stated the name of my motherboard.
Now, the startup screen is completely different and mentions a MSI Pro Series. While in the BIOS, it does recognize my Mobo as being a MSi x99 SLI Plus. The first boot to Windows was a disaster (mouse and keyboard had power but didn't work), but on the next boot everything was fine.
Did I somehow manage to mess this one up, should I flash to something else, if so then to what? I thought m-flash was supposed to make backups of your bios but it seems it didn't. That's something I should have considered more carefully.
Here's a photo of my new bios:
