No help with a replacement BIOS chip???]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2025 05:44:58 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31102&PID=199080&title=reboot-loop-after-bios-update#199080 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31102&PID=199074&title=reboot-loop-after-bios-update#199074 Author: MHzTweaker

@Tarv Where did you end up getting a replacement BIOS chip from?

These crappy Z790M PG Lightning D4 boards only have a 12 month warranty and ASRock refuses to help me with it. I guess I am now done with ASRock junk. ]]> Sat, 27 Sep 2025 22:31:25 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31102&PID=199074&title=reboot-loop-after-bios-update#199074 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31102&PID=181727&title=reboot-loop-after-bios-update#181727 Author: Tarv

Support referred me to RMA the unit. This is the proper fix.

Alternatively, I ended up getting a replacement BIOS chip and I physically replaced the BIOS chip on that board, that solved my issue. Not an ideal solution but shows BIOS corruption after update was my problem.

Note that I was having an issue with not getting past BIOS post, others here are mentioning getting into Windows or just rebooting issues, that would not be the same issue I was having.

Hi all!
Any solutions yet? I got the same problem here...
Bios update 100% and rebooting constantly.]]> Fri, 31 Jan 2025 08:06:22 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31102&PID=178161&title=reboot-loop-after-bios-update#178161 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31102&PID=173228&title=reboot-loop-after-bios-update#173228 Author: Tarv

I'm having the same issue. Sent email to support as well.

System was working, flashed bios from v1.15 to v14.01. No errors during update, after flash and reboot system does not boot past the logo/post screen. I see the ASRock logo for a few seconds, along with "Press F2 to enter setup...", but it disappears shortly and reboots. Can not enter BIOS or FLASH, stuck in this loop.

Removed all peripherals, only CPU/RAM/VIDEO connected. One stick of RAM, tried multiple slots. Tried different RAM as well.

Tried removing CMOS battery and using CMOS reset jumper for 10 mins, no change.

Trying the 4 hour wait now but not holding my breath...]]> Sun, 05 Jan 2025 08:06:02 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31102&PID=173228&title=reboot-loop-after-bios-update#173228 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=31102&PID=152875&title=reboot-loop-after-bios-update#152875 Author: jedrek

Jon! Did You manage to resolve this in any way? I'm struck by the same problem. After latest bios update pc worked as intended for a copule of days and then suddenly same problem occurs. Quick Asrock logo showing and then pc is rebooting. DEL or F2 not working.

Open a support ticket with ASRock and include a link to your post here.

https://tw.asrock.com/events/tsd.asp

The fact that the splash logo is showing, if briefly, is encouraging. Typically a
failed flash results in no display output at all.

You said you removed the battery already but you can try the steps here to be
sure: https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=630&title=how-to-clear-cmos-via-battery-removal

Good luck

Hi all,

Seem to have an issue where my PC is just reboot looping after trying to update the bios. For reference this is an Intel 13600kf in an Asrock Z790m PG Lightning D4 board. It came with bios 5.03 and I was trying to update to 9.04. System was working fine and stable prior to bios update (If you ignore the very odd graphics glitch related to Arc graphics cards that a quick vid restart would cure)

Followed instructions, downloaded bios, unzipped and put on fat32 USB stick. Into bios and run update util, bios found and update starts. All seemed to run fine, got to 100% and restarted. Then the reboot loop began. Left it run for about 5min with it getting to Asrock logo for barely a second, then reboot, rinse and repeat ad infinitum. Spamming Del or F2 doesn't do anything.

So far I've tried resetting Cmos via jumper (5-10 secs) and battery removal (up to 10 mins) with no joy. The bootup and post status led light up goes as follows:

Turn power on: Dram, Vga, boot lit, cpu out
Dram and boot go out, vga stays on
Boot comes back on, vga stays on
Asrock logo appears on screen for less than second
System reboots

I've removed ram down to 1 x 16gb stick, usually run 4

Changed gpu out for another (Using Arc A770, swapped for known to work 1050ti)

Removed 2nd nvme drive, ssd on sata and all USB devices apart from mouse and keyboard.
