Received new BIOS chip from Ebay. WORKED PERFECTLY (just the GUID firewire error but it is sufficient to disable firewire)]]> Tue, 09 Feb 2021 22:49:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2625&PID=83848&title=bios-recovery-990fx-extreme9#83848 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2625&PID=83748&title=bios-recovery-990fx-extreme9#83748 Author: frapuni

I wrote to Asrock support. They have been very kind and they'll send me a new BIOS chip. They think it could solve the problem.

They told me that USB2 or USB3 port is not relevant (even if just USB2 ones support BIOS feature to be recovered in case of power failures). I have just been unlucky, as some other guys here.

I will change BIOS chip as soon as it arrives and let you know.]]> Sat, 06 Feb 2021 05:26:28 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2625&PID=83748&title=bios-recovery-990fx-extreme9#83748 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2625&PID=83675&title=bios-recovery-990fx-extreme9#83675 Author: frapuni

Tried after an entire night of no battery following the procedure in this forum.

Nothing. Still Dr Debug 00 with little flickering too. Motherboard and fans turn on. After a while some fans like video card stop. No post, black screen.]]> Thu, 04 Feb 2021 00:24:23 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2625&PID=83675&title=bios-recovery-990fx-extreme9#83675 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2625&PID=83656&title=bios-recovery-990fx-extreme9#83656 Author: frapuni

Yes, of course. I waited one hour. tonight I am trying the full night without battery no power CLRTC\CMOS jumper on reset and tomorrow I'll try again but every reset tries have been a no go. ]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2021 06:19:30 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2625&PID=83656&title=bios-recovery-990fx-extreme9#83656 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2625&PID=83655&title=bios-recovery-990fx-extreme9#83655 Author: wardog

Odd. 62 is chipset initialization and the way around that is to rest the BIOS.

Scroll down to page 3:

Have you added any hardware recently?

Too, if you've had your board for any length of time I'd replace the CMOS battery and cross my fingers.

Quixotically, yes it is. Which again I'll stand by my original conclusion of folks mistakenly using a usb 3.0 port with which to flash/brick.

I'll post tomorrow if it does. IIRC it does. Maybe ASRock could disable Instant Flash from recognizing the non-native usb 3.0 ports. That'd be nice, if in fact that is what's happening.

But it'll have to wait as I'm tired and the bed's calling my name.
