B450 Gaming-ITX/ac - wont post

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
I received my Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac yesterday with a Ryzen 3600x and 16gb of 3200 Viper RAM. Machine has been built with an M2 for the boot drive and HDD for storage.
On the first boot, I see an ASRock splash with options for UEFI Bios, BIOS Flash and Boot options, however I am unable to enter the bios at all - if I select F2, I get a black screen with a single small dash - on the screen, but nothing else. I can enter the bios flash fine and I can select the boot menu fine, however the M2 drive is not recognised, so the machine wont go to Windows either.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

	OK, so - Ive flashed the BIOS to version 3.3 and managed to actually get in tot UEFI - however....I cant boot from my M2 drive. The drive is recognised in the Storage Options menu, but not as a drive I can boot from. I installed W10 on an SSD and the M2 drive shows fine - I just cant see it a boot drive (even though it has Win 10 installed on it) Any thoughts?

	I'd recommend updating to the 3.70 BIOS and see what that does for yuh.

	I have my daughter on the B350 Fatal1ty Gaming ITX/ac with the 3600x and 2 x 16GB non QVL 3000mhz RAM running on it's XMP profile with it's 3.60 BIOS and running Win10 off of the NVMe drive mounted on the back of the board. It's been a solid little gamer unit for her. I had to pull everything out of her ITX case and put her into my old windowed bling bling case due to the heat that her RX570 was putting out though as I didn't want to fry any of her components. Her ITX case was nice looking but not very good with the air flow.
