FM2A88X Extreme4+, W10 and BIOS 2.60 freezing

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

   Hello everyone.

I know this post is a bit old, but i am experiencing this exact same problem.

I already have the Flash drive ready and formatted with file in it ready to downgrade the BIOS version.

However, when i restart the PC and press F2 (or Del) to access the BIOS, the screen goes black and the FANS speed up while nothing else happens. 

I end up having to hard reset it (the so called magic button - no other way here) and then if i allow it to start W10, it starts normally (randomly freezes every now and then, of course). 

Accessing the SETUP itself seems to be the main problem here. 

Has anyone been through the same situation? How have you solved it?

Thank you.

P.S.:
System specs:
AsRock A88X FM2 Extreme4+
AMD A10 5800APU Radeon HD Graphics
Kingston 8GB 1600Mhz DIMM DDR3 low voltage
LCPower LC6650GP3 v2.3
Kingston SSD 250GB model SV300S37A240G
OS: Windows 10 version 1909 for x64 based systems

	Voltages appear to be more stable. At least it did not turn on by itslef during the night... But i cannot access the BIOS yet. I am going to order a new BIOS chip like this guy did. http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5715&title=asrock-fm2a88m-extreme-4-bios-update-fail

	Hi. It seems that until further notice, the sudden freezing stopped. As well as the sudden reboots. Now, to solve the BIOS problem. Thanks.
