So I have the Hero VIII with BIOS version 3504 and no problems. But I also have the Samsung 950 PRO in the M.2 slot and I there is a new firmware update for it. I followed what Samsung said and I did it twice (downloading and installing the firmware), but when I get in to the BIOS to launch from the USB it does nothing.

Am I missing a setting somewhere? Something I need to turn off? CSM is shut off and I took off fast boot. No joy, when I click to boot from the USB the screen just flashes for a millisecond and does nothing.

Any help would be appreciated

What he said! It's the easiest way to update. 😄

OK, something with their method is wrong. Used other boot USB and works fine.
@NemesisChild and CptSpig - will do, thanks. I do not have it installed so forgot about it.

Thanks
