 Topic: X370 taichi new bios bad flash? Halp!Posted: 30 Dec 2018 at 9:23am |

Today I upgraded to the newest BIOS listed for my board (5.1?) I had installed the required AMD drivers yesterday.
Now, on boot up I get post codes 36, f2, f9 in that order, and no video from either HDMI or DP on either card (no integrated graphics) I have tried: Clearing cmos (remove battery, power sources and hold power buttons left battery out for half an hour or zo) Reseating RAM Reseating RAM in different slots Tried each stick (running a dual channel 16gb kit) in a different slot Removing RAM entirely Removing both gpu's, tried them individually in each pcie slot available Tried putting USB drive with all past bios updates in rear slot and hitting various F keys after the UEFI(Should be) displays. Left the pc running for several hours after a bootup to black screen I have not removed my cpu, but as it and everything else was functioning fine until the 5.1 update, I don't see how that could help. I did follow the bios update order on the website any time I updated and had no problems until now. If I even just had video it would make resolving this much easier. Build is: X370 taichi Ryzen 1800x Corsair vengeance pro rgb 3200mhz 16gb 2x rtx 2089 xc/xc ultra Western digital 2tb m.2 ssd Dark rock pro 4 cooler Any suggestions? I am inclined to believe I f'd up the flash somehow but unsure of where to go from here. |

Hhm, what was your previous BIOS version? If it has been earlier thsn 3.30 it's bad.
Otherwise you've done pretty much eveything. Maybe it's time for an ASUS? |

Went from 4.8 to 5.1. Thinking I just need a new board as I doubt asrock will replace a year old board.

You can't accidentally not flash 3.30 before flashing newer version as newer ones simply won't show up in the list unless you have 3.30 flashed first. |

Hi, was your CPU clocked to the default speed before upgrading? In other words, not OC'd? Not downclocking to the default again may cause this probelm and it did for me for the similair motherboard: X370 Professional Gaming, one younger brother from your board.
Well, let us know. If the answer is yet, run the 'reset' button on your motherboard. There is no reason to remove the CMOS battery after the reset button was introduced (according to ASrock). |

Now I'm stable. If your board still will not upgrade after resetting its probably defective. On a personal note, I advise not getting Asus boards. ASRock has a higher quality of reliability if you look at statistics for the year 2018. |

CPU was running stock settings. As far as I can tell the cmos button does nothing in this case but neither did the battery removal and cold boot

Hi again. Your mobo is most likely defective. Buy a new ASRock board or a different company. I for one recommend: ASRock or Gigabyte as they have very high reliability (99%). Asus has 89% for the year 2018. Still one of the higher boards though so I am not completely against that company.
Wish you the best on your new purchase. |

I would love to see the source of your statistics.
Judging by web forums alone, I'd say ASRoock has the most duds. Also, some models are more prone to defects than other, so generalizing about brands is stupid in most cases. |
