another thought. is this only in the Boot selection screen? if so and its not all corrupted in every bios screen but only boot selections screen could be one of the ssd/hdd's as some funky boot stuff going on. maybe remove some drives 1 at a time. start with the oldest one. see if that changes


Tried disabling CSM in the 4.50 BIOS. With CSM disabled, I got no signal on my monitor. Had to remove the BIOS battery to get it working again.

Will try with the 3.10 BIOS however.

Don't have a NVIDIA card, got a Sapphire Fury Tri-X.

Your assumption was correct. Downgraded from 4.50 to 3.50 first, then again down to 3.40. Afterwards I was able to flash via DOS all down to 3.10.

But guess what? The error is still there:

Sure thing. Booted flawlessly two times from the USB pen, loaded the BIOS file copied to the stick and got that error message.

Tried again with the HP-DOS-TOOL. Same result:

"The version of BIOS does not support this function!!"

Confused

right so technically your cpu system needs only the bios from the versions of 3xxx (im still on taichi v3.1) with my 1700 r7

so the try and resolve with the DOS bios method
you will need to create a bootable dos usb stick with bios version 3.10 and use the DOS flashing method , this will totally erase the bios rom and write a new clean code
and then you can use instant flash in bios to update to a later version
PLEASE NOTE
fully reset any bios BEFORE flashing to defaults never flash with any tweaked settings and never flash in windows

also to note in MY opinion the later 4x bios versions are not worth using with a 1st gen ryzen
YOUR boards bios version the same as mine would be 3.2, allthough you may need/use the 3.3 or 3.4 in YOUR case for jedec2666 support or fixed tctl support for some software monitoring programs




I just tried, created a FreeDOS-Pen with Rufus and copied the new BIOS file. Once booted I tried to start the process, however I got this error message:

"The version of BIOS does not support this function!!"
