I have been unable to get 4k@60Hz from the onboard HDMI
#2. The Win 10 64-bit HTPC was built Dec 2015. Both HDMI ports 1 & 2
initially got 4K@30. When I would select
60Hz for the display adapter with HDMI port #2, the screen would go blank and
revert back to 30. I then upgraded to
the latest drivers from Intel most recently last week with the 2/2/2016 Driver
20.19.15.4380. It made no difference. So
after reading about this HDMI firmware update, I downloaded it and tried to
install from 1.24 to 1.36. Unfortunately, I only had one 8GB DDR4 DIMM at
the time. It failed, and then
rebooted. Apparently it changed
something because the screen now shows densely packed multi-colored vertical
bars across 10% of the screen on the left and blank for the remainder. I could still bring up the install tool using
the other HDMI port #1 that would say it had 1.24 currently and ready to
install 1.36, but it would always fail in the same way. So I bought another identical 8GB DDR4 DIMM,
installed it yesterday and now the update utility BobcatAuxISPTool.exe shows
the following:
Firmware updating can't be started! Please shut down system for a while and restart it! Of course, doing what it says doesn?™t help. Here?™s the content of the log file: DDC2biAddr = 0x6E RamWriteAddr = 0x1800 RunAtAddr = 0x1800 FlashStartAddr = 0x400000 Gfx Selection = 0 Graphics adapter initialization - NVIDIA: failed! (-2) Graphics adapter initialization - AMD: Loading DLL
failed! Graphics adapter initialization - Intel (LS-PCON): done! Device ID: 0x0C =
N/A (0x25) Device ID: 0x0D =
N/A (0x48) Device ID: 0x0E =
N/A (0x25) Device ID: 0x0F =
N/A (0x48) Graphics adapter initialization - Intel: done! N/A (0xD) It seems like I have bricked the firmware on HDMI port
#2. There must be some way to unbrick or
reset it. Please help. Jeff Davis |

FIXED!!
Kudos to ASRock Tech Support. I emailed them at the same time as this posting. John responded very quickly and gave me some things to try. The last one may have worked. Clearing the CMOS had no effect. Here's what I did: I reverted the Intel HD Graphics 530 to the 4300 version. But that wasn?™t enough or perhaps even relevant. |
