Hi I recently flashed my Bios via the app store instead of coming to the
website where i would of read about this.

"Support new Athlon 2xxGE series APU.
* Please install "AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver:18.50.16.01_WHQL" or a later version before updating to this BIOS.
* If you updated the BIOS before updating the AMD all in one driver, please refer to the Display recovery SOP to recover your system."

So the instructions say to uninstall the vega driver from Device Manager.
only problem is mine says Nvidia GTX 1080. So I follow the directions and I still cant Down grade my bios. I even tried a fresh install of windows but it seems to not matter what i do.

Now Im stuck with a pc where my Monitor goes to sleep all time. I have to hit the reset button for my monitor to come back on.

I set my pc to never in settings on "screen" to never sleep as well as "sleep mode to never sleep" It started out doing this while in games then progressed to just opening up any app makes it happen

I tried changing monitors, HDMI cables ect,ect.
Im on the verge of buying a new mobo.

Forgot to mention that I have personally downgraded to the bios before 3.10 since 3.10 is FUBAR.
