X670E Taichi crashes / reboots

Asrock Version: 5.01.29.2026
Amd Version: 4.11.15.342

My guess is Asrock released a newer version early. It possbily has compatibility with the 7000X3D chips but again thats just me speculating.

both drivers work and I've not noticed any differences in stability or performance. Use whichever you prefer I'd say.

Just an update for everyone: I now have everything enabled including igpu. I've noticed occasional very minor stuttering in games but nothing that would require disabling the igpu.

Same here. Not a single crash and I even changed the curve optimizer to negative 30 on my 7950X and everything runs as stable as ever. Expo enabled ofcourse

I created an account just to say I have the same motherboard and tried updating to all BIOS since 1.11.AS03 (even though they keep getting removed from the download page). The issue I get is always the same, restart stops working (reboot just hangs) and I get random crashes/freezes very consistently on linux a few minutes after boots. I always revert back to 1.11.AS043, but I wish to keep latest BIOS. Is there anything I can do? Is my problem related to what you folks are seeing?

Since i'm running 2x32gb RAM at 5600mhz i'm surmising it's likely I'll end up having to turn them down to 5200mhz to stay within the CPU spec for the 7950 and attain complete stability.. I was sure I had checked everything beforehand, but it's really easy to miss important details like these, so again thank you! Here's the build: X670E Taichi Ryzen 9 7950x G.Skill D5 5600 64gb (F5-5600J3636D32GX2-RS5K - should be on QVL for the board) Samsung 990 Pro 1tb Samsung 870 EVO 4tb Straight Power 11 1000w PSU Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU cooler Asus TUF OC 4080 A couple of Light Wings for chassis airflow All in the good old Panteks Enthoo Pro full tower for plenty of space The issues i've experienced so far: One reboot at the windows login screen - the screen itself was stable for at least 5 minutes, moving the mouse around yielded nothing on-screen, at the first keypress to (maybe) engage Windows Hello, the system rebooted unexpectedly instead. This was a cold boot in the early morning. One reboot during multitask stresstesting, running a GPU benchmark on one monitor, and "power-browsing like an idiot" on the other to monitor to check for crosschatter issues. Without warning, both screens went into inverted colours for about 2 seconds and froze, then the system rebooted. This was after about 4 or so hours of running other stresstests and benchmarks with no issues. Both logged as classic ID 41 Kernel Power failure. During both, the MB was running the latest non-beta BIOS, 1.11. I've now gone into the latest in the beta-branch, 1.11AS06, though as mentioned above, I'm kind of expecting to have another occurrence or two of unexpected reboots and then downclocking my RAM to 5200 in that eventuality. Updates may or may not follow, no promises, but also no threats If I were you, I would do these: 0) Make sure the BIOS setting are default, disable Curve Optimizer. If you have Ryzen Master installed, set to default mode. 1) Use memtest86+ to do a full test (one round is enough) If any error detected, it's the memory timing compatibility, try reduce to 5200 and test again. 2) If memtest86 never detects any error, remove the video card and use embedded one, run your windows in Safe mode, disable "Auto Reboot" so you will know blue screen happened. No need to do any stress test, just web browsing or keep the computer powered on. If it's stable, then I would reset / reinstall windows, that means some driver/software/windows setting caused the issue. If it's still unstable, I would find another MB and install my CPU, RAM on it, do the test until the root cause is found.

Thanks for the advice :)

I ended up having another shutdown the next day, then the following day again, then with the weekend I downclocked the RAM to 5200, since then nothing, only minor driver glitches and windows being windows.

In my case, it seems running RAM over the CPU spec leads to shutdowns, below that asROCK-SOLID stability as I like it best <3

And now I have to give some TLC to my wifus PC which ran RDR 4k streaming fine for two years, and now goes Kernel 41 when she tries to play Hogwarts - my suspicion is on her 6900XT that goes to 109-110 the moment the game loads up :(

Cheers to all of you'z who had problems solved with help here, reported in, or helped others; you're all great peeps. We're all idiots at times, and PC building is still an art, when we do it together we learn better and win more <3
