AB350M-HDV - 18.50.16.01 to update BIOS?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   BIOS updated successfully, I installed the latest drivers afterwards. RAM issue remained (probably a dead RAM stick). Weird thing though - when everything starts, at the very beginning the GPU cooler used to go crazy for a split second. Now it does it twice, right after the first time within less than a second.

	It says "Please install "AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver:18.10.20_NHDA" or a later versionbefore updating to this BIOS". Is Radeon Adrenalin 20.4.2 a later version?

	It is what the label says, an all in one driver that includes a display driver (with VGA). I would install what ASRock recommend you install, you can always update your GPU drivers again after the flash. To be clear, the Adrenaline driver does NOT include chipset drivers.

	Hi, I did a little (and very budget oriented) upgrade - Ryzen 3, Asrock AB350M-HDV, DDR4 RAM. I want to update BIOS since it's pretty old now (and I have an issue with RAM support). ASRock's page says that I need to install "AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver:18.50.16.01_WHQL" beforehand and there's also a link to the software package. Thing is Google says 18.50.16.01 is a chipset driver, meanwhile ASRock links to a package that tries to reinstall my Radeon driver. Question is - is 18.50.16.01 a chipset or a GPU driver? Or both? I already have 20.4.2 Radeon Adrenalin, am I ok to install newer BIOS?
