Its a common error when updating your BIOS in an Asrock motherboard.
Dont be frustrated about this.
Its pretty easy to fix this error and just follow simple steps to fix the issue.
So, Lets start.
What is a BIOS Update?
BIOS update is a process that solves the problems occurring with your system hardware.
Generally, BIOS updates correct the hardware incompatibility issue of the PC.
If you face any hardware problem, then you should only revamp your BIOS.
If your gear is working fine, you dont need to upgrade your system BIOS.
You are recommended to refresh your BIOS to fix a problem when your motherboards manufacturer suggests a BIOS update.
Because Updating your BIOS is not as easy as updating your software.
If you do an improper BIOS update, your hardware can be damaged.
As updating the BIOS is complex, you will face some errors.

Why is Asrock BIOS not Detecting Image Files During Updates?
There are various reasons why your Asrock motherboards BIOS does not detect the image file while updating the BIOS.
Here I write the most common reason for this issue:
1.
Wrong format of your USB
This is the most common reason for this issue.
Suppose you format your USB in NTFS.
Your BIOS will not support this format.
Selecting Wrong BIOS update
Selecting the wrong BIOS update file is another reason for this issue.
In this case, your image file will not be compatible with your BIOS updates.
Suppose you download the AB350 Pro motherboards BIOS update file, but your motherboard model is Asrock AB350M pro.
So your motherboard doesnt detect the image files for the wrong version of updated files.
