Good remark Thumbs Up

, and will try the tips to activate option in bios as soon as it startup Cry

Have tried a "clean config" :

- AB350 PRO4

- CPU

- RAM (4 x DDR4)

- one Sapphire RX580 on PCIE2

The display is then switching to the 580 (normal), logo "ASRock-Sapphire" appears, and ... same post messages ("press F2/Del ..."). Only TAB key works.

Bad UEFI update --> RMA ?

Or any other suggestion ?

...

Next.

In the UEFI, notice that the version was not the last one !

So :

1) I update to version 3.40, with Windows utility. Performed well, reboot, and enter UEFI

2) Update to version 4.60, with the UEFI utility, through USB key. Runs well, reboot.

And now ....

The MB hang at boot with the "ASRock" logo and the different messages from the UEFI ("Press F2 or DEL ...."). but : no key works, the booting sequence is blocked there :(

Help please .....

Edit:

Try to clear the CMOS.

Same result : hang at "ASRock" logo and "Press ...." messages.

(Note that I don't have anything connected to my MB, except RAM and CPU)

Edit 2:

One key is working : the TAB. It switched the display.

but F2, DEL, F6 are not working.

Keyboard lights are "on", and key lock is switchable.

Screen is connected using DVI-D

Any suggestion ?

Hi !

MB : AB350 Pro4 (bios internet update confirmed uptodate)

GPU : Sapphire RX580

And Driver : 18.1.1 - Adrenalin

Display handled by IGPU

Trying to configure a rig with 6 x Sapphire 580 on a AB350 Pro4.

Situation :

- 5 x RX580 on the MB, with the PCIE2 empty.

With that configuration, (important ...) the logo at the startup is "ASRock" alone.

Windows will startup and detect my 5 GPUs.

Reboot.

The logo change to the ASRock-Sapphire ....

Windows boot.

... and crash : "Thread stuck in device driver"

Again and again.

A config with 4 x Sapphire RX580 (PCIE1 and PCIE2 empty), logo at startup is (ASRock) and windows is stable.

A config with the 6 x Sapphire RX580 (all PCIE slots used), logo is ASRock-Sapphire and windows stuck in the boot.

I read that this change of logo is the visible part of an optimisation.

Is it possible to avoid this optimisation ?

Any suggestions ?

Ric.
