X300M-STX birth boot: fTPM/PSP NV corrupted or ...

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

   After adding components and doing the very very first boot, this comes up:

=======
Copyright (C) American Megatrends, Inc.
BIOS Date: 07/01/2021 15:32:04
X300M-STX VUEFI P1.70

New CPU installed, fTPM/PSP NV corrupted or fTPM/PSP NV structure changed.

Press Y to reset fTPM, if you have BitLocker or encryption enabled,
the system will not boot without a recovery key

Press N to keep previous fTPM record and continue system boot, fTPM will NOT

enable in new CPU, you can swap back to the old CPU to recover TPM related
Keys and data.
=======

I have searched the net trying to understand what fTPM is. However, I have no idea what to do with this message on the screen. I am surprised that there are no previous occurrences of this problem. Suggestions are more than welcome!

System: Asrock DeskMini X300 AM4 | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G | Samsung 970 Pro 512 GB | Kingston VR SODIMM DDR42666 2*16GB

	No one? Then I will proceed to the action that makes the most sense: Y: Reset fTPM (firmware Trusted Platform Module). Reasoning: All components, including the DeskMini X300, come from sealed packages. The Ryzen 5600G AMD processor contains a built-in firmware trusted platform module. So there is simply no previous CPU, at most a CPU that the motherboard has been tested with at the manufacturer (AsRock in this case). After all, it is suggested that a CPU has been used before.

	Just in case someone ends up here with the same question after building a new system and doing the very first boot: What is above was the proper way to do it, the system is doing a great job. I can't imagine I am the only person having this undocumented experience and it may be a good suggestion to provide this information for builders.
