Hello.

Newly mounted computer. After installing Windows, I installed the drivers, including the ASRock ASRock RGB LED see: 1.0.29. An image on the screen appeared stating that it was updating the LED firmware. Installation completed normally. I tried restarting the PC, but it does not start any more. No LED on the motherboard lights except for the Ryzen cooler. I've tried clearing CMOS and it did not work, however, I'm not sure about the correct procedure. There is no POST code. Any idea?

He means the computer, unplug it from power and press the power button to drain the board of power and then clear the cmos.

So,I remove all the power cables, remove the battery, change de CMOS jumper, wait for 10 minutes, press and hold the power button for a few seconds, change the jumper back, put the battery back, plug the power cable back, turn the PC on.

I'll try that tomorrow. Any other tips just in case this doesn't work? I've got just a few hours per day to resolve that.

Thank you.

Try this:

http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=630&title=how-to-clear-cmos-via-battery-removal

If that does not work, contact ASRock Tech Support from the ASRock website, they will assist you further. 

If a full CMOS clear does not fix the issue then the problem is caused by a corrupted BIOS, in which case only ASRock can help you. I wouldn't worry too much however, ASRock is very good with helping users in cases like yours Wink

Thank you very much.

I don't think it is a BIOS issue as I didn't update the BIOS. I just I stalled the LED control software downloaded from ASRock website. Before that everything was working perfectly.

I'm sure ASRock will assist me, but the situation is ridiculous. RMA means 30 days using a borrowed computer.

Besides that, when. I receive the new motherboard, I won't be 100% confident about ASRock product quality anymore.

I'll try that procedure.

Thank you very much.

The firmware for the RGB controller is contained in the BIOS chip. When that was updated, if there was and error, it could have caused a corruption. 

More often than not, the method I linked for you is enough to resolve any corrupted values and restore the system to working. If not, your only choice is an RMA. As boards have gotten more complex the risks associated with flashing firmware (BIOS is firmware too btw) have also grown. This is why it is recommended to return your system to UEFI defaults prior to updated and to preferentially use the Instant Flash option after having downloaded the correct update file from the product page. I sorely miss socketed BIOS ROMs, that made life so much easier for the end user. Sadly they are a thing of the past.

I am hopeful that my suggestion will fix your issue. For what it's worth, I have owned over a dozen ASRock boards and not had a single one fail on me yet. Even my oldest ASRock board sporting an Athlon XP is still working. The measure of quality also extends to the standard of support, ASRock is usually pretty good. If you have any issues please contact me via PM.
