Because now you need a pre raven ridge APU, such as the AMD boot kit.
Why? because you backdated your BIOS to 3.6 bridge BIOS when there was absolutely no need to. You ( usually)work your way through the BIOS updates in a linear fashion, and there may be what is called a Bridge BIOS...on this MB version 3.6 is such a Bridge BIOS....once you have it it allows you to then download a Raven Ridge compatible BIOS. Such as 4.40 (yes, it is very buggy) You were already at that stage......and because you were at that stage you had no further need to use a Bridge BIOS from earlier in the series. You could and shold have gone straight to 4.50. You are not the first to fall for this, perhaps it could be stressed more in the literature. But you do not have Bricked MB, just one with a BIOS not ready for Raven Ridge, so beg borrow or steal an APU that will allow you to boot, install 4.50 and put it down to experience. |

I just bought a AB350 ITX/ac MB, on my first day using it, I've tried to update BIOS because the CPU temperature was 127ÂșC constantly... even just after starting up.
The original BIOS version was 4.40, I've found on the MB website a version 4.50, saying: Before updating this BIOS, please update BIOS to P3.60 firstly. So I downloaded the 3.60 and 4.50 versions, put on the pendrive just formated in FAT32, I did the first update to 3.60 version, It was completed 100%, ask to press enter to restart the system, after that my screen keeps off and the MB stays restarting... I have no screen. I tried to reset the CMOS but no way... It keeps the same. My CPU is a Ryzen 5 2400G. Does anybody have an idea to fix that? |

The same issue here. Got hte AB350 ITX board, put in mine old 1600 to get the board SW up to 4.4 (Raven Ridge supported BIOS), after the middle FW 3.6 upgrade all good, after going from 3.6 to 4.4 system is booting to the first BIOS window (F2 DEL to BIOS F6 INSTAN FLASH) but only for about a second then restarts and over and over forever. Tried everything mentioned here, clear CMOS, etc, but the same .... Going to return the board back to asrock as this is nonsense.

Nothing, but it adds support for new cpu/apu.
I will get an Ryzen 5 2400G soon. But it seems it stops supporting 9800E^^ |
