Taichi X370.  Had L4.41 and down-flashed to P3.30 as there were no instructions as to whether to UN-flash (is that a word?) from the BETA BIOS.

Well BIOS CPU temps are still reading 62*C at idle so this did nothing for me as far as this issue is concerned.

On a "cheekier" note....Love that English......I did get my 1800X clocked to 4.0Ghz with no problems and did get my G Skill 3600 to boot at 3200 using the XMP and both times loaded Windows fine with no upticks in voltages or timing adjustments.  No stress test yet as I HATE WINDOWS 10!!!!!  I saw less spyware when I worked at the NSA or was it GCHQ.....maybe both!

Anyways, as this is a BIOS update thread, there are no markedly upticks that I have experienced going from L4.41 to P4.60.  So I just may go back to L4.41 for now.

Plenty of people come here to rant, so don't worry about that. But if you need help then you have to give some information, which is what I meant in my reply.

The fact that you got the message saying that the upgrade was a success is a good sign. The first thing I would do is turn off the power and unplug from the wall socket. Then I'd hold the power button in for a few seconds to discharge the capacitors. Then I'd use the Clear CMOS link to reset the defaults, replacing it afterwards. Your board has only two RAM sockets so just fit one DIMM in the A slot. Unplug any peripherals except monitor and keyboard. Then plug it back in and see if it will POST.

The thing is, many people have performed the update successfully so your "warning" is not only unnecessary but it's incorrect. Hopefully we'll get you up and running again.


Edited: Slightly more specific instructions re. DIMM slot.

Hi JohnM, I'm sorry if my "useless" sounded harsh, it really wasn't the intention.
But it is really useless, in the literal meaning of the word: it doesn't post, it doesn't power the USB ports (no keyboard, no mouse, no USB speakers) it does nothing. There is power going on, as the leds of the case, AIO, the fans, the HDD, all turn on. It's just dead.
And yes, it showed the "programming complete, press ok to reboot" (or something like that) when updating the UEFI.
My message was more of a warning than a rant.

I have the same motherboard and updated to 4.50 without a problem. What is wrong with yours? Just saying that it's useless doesn't help. Did the BIOS update complete successfully?

Which BIOS is recommended for the 1st Generation Ryzen on the AsRock AB350M Pro4?

Should 1st Generation Ryzen users upgrade to these latest BIOS or should we stick with the Bridge BIOS (3.40 in my case)

Yes, it is. The latest version is always the recommended version unless you happen to experience problems with it. However, there have been a lot of updates recently and they've really been about adding support for 2000-series processors so if you are not experiencing any particular problems with your current BIOS you may not feel the need to update.
