You purchase for 10$ CH341A bios programmer that comes with all the attachments.
Then head over to win raid forums for their tutorial. There are many other tutorials out there, do investigate them.

It's the same risk as the procedure you follow with bad memory sticks installed. The difference is the flash happens without the need of cpu and memory installed at all.
But I do respect that concern.
So I will tell you flashing with a bad set of memory or a bad cpu isn't a good idea.
Remove all but 1 stick and test each stick individually. Then test them in a totally different system that supports the ram to confirm results.
I don't think the CPU is bad. I've bought a new memory stick (the minimum amount of memory,just to check what would have been happened),this one :
and it passed the test and I didn't see the crashing of the applications anymore.
UPDATE :
I've renamed Z390AORUSPRO.F13 to GIGABYTE.bin and I tried to flash it. Unfortunately I've got the same error "OemID Mismatch".
So,what ? Isn't a method to force the operation ? Isn't a method to see what's the OemID inside the BIOS image file that I'm running and that I have saved ?
According to this post :
Flashing Gigabyte while avoiding "Invalid BIOS image"
@Ruin v0.85 DOS from B550 , and v0.84 EFI x64 from Z490 Usage: EFIFLASH [Input or Output File Name] [Command] Commands: /Q - [Q]uiet mode. Don’t ask for key pressing. (Secure Flash) /DB - Update both Main & Backup BIOS for DualBIOS System /R - Reboot System after BIOS Update /C - Clear DMI...

Efiflash can bypass “Invalid BIOS image”
Do you reccomend this procedure ?
