That makes sense, and I believe you are probably correct. I was reading too much into the instructions.

Thank you!]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2019 05:46:47 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10907&PID=60848&title=updating-adrenalin-drivers-with-5-30-bios#60848 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10907&PID=60846&title=updating-adrenalin-drivers-with-5-30-bios#60846 Author: xhue

Sorry for the bump, but still hoping for some insight into this issue. ]]> Thu, 21 Feb 2019 04:40:08 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10907&PID=60844&title=updating-adrenalin-drivers-with-5-30-bios#60844 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10907&PID=60765&title=updating-adrenalin-drivers-with-5-30-bios#60765 Author: xhue

That's some Inception/Shutter Island-level mindf*ck!

Jokes aside, it looks like a really relevant question. I too would like to know the answer of it.]]> Sun, 17 Feb 2019 02:11:25 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10907&PID=60765&title=updating-adrenalin-drivers-with-5-30-bios#60765 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10907&PID=60764&title=updating-adrenalin-drivers-with-5-30-bios#60764 Author: Johannes

I recently flashed my AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac board to BIOS version 5.30. Beforehand I update AMD's Adrenalin drivers to the latest version, 19.1.1. Everything went smoothly, and my system is running stably.

This got me thinking, however, about installing future Adrenalin updates. AMD's [URL=https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/rs-install]instructions[/URL] for installing new updated drivers states: "Ensure that any existing AMD graphics driver on the system is removed before installing a new driver package. Performing a complete uninstall ensures a clean system and can help reduce issues or conflicts that may occur on new installations."

Uninstalling existing drivers [URL=https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/rs-uninstall]requires a system restart[/URL], which would seem to conflict with 5.30 BIOS's requirement to have "AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver:18.10.20_NHDA" or later installed. If I restart the system after uninstalling the Adrenalin drivers, will I have to follow the [URL=http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/TSD/Display%20recovery%20SOP.pdf]display recovery SOP[/URL] to get the system working properly again?]]> Sun, 17 Feb 2019 01:52:51 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10907&PID=60764&title=updating-adrenalin-drivers-with-5-30-bios#60764
