Hi Xaltar, I've been having some problems with cold starts, almost every day when I turn on my PC I get a code 03 and just hangs there, I have to restart my PC multiple times until it actually continues to boot, I had bios 3.20 I think until then and when this started to happen I upgraded to 3.40 with no change whatsoever, do you have any recomendations?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
MB: Asrock x870e Taichi Lite
RAM: 2X KINGSTON FURY BEAST 16GB DDR5 6000
HDD: 1X Seagate Surveilance 4TB
SSD: 1X Samsung EVO plus 970
     1X CORSAIR MP600 PRO LPX 2TB
     1X WD BLACK SN770 M.2 1TB
     1X Crucial Ct2000mx500ssd1 2tb

ASRock just released a beta BIOS for most if not all AM5 boards that is designed
to address boot issues like this.

You can find the Beta BIOS versions https://www.asrock.com.tw/support/index.asp?cat=bComboAM5" rel="nofollow - here

There are also final release versions still coming out https://www.asrock.com.tw/support/index.asp?cat=ComboAM5" rel="nofollow - here .

If you like you can wait for a final release BIOS version for your board or you
can try out the Beta version and update again later once the 4.10 version for
your board is released. AFAIK all AM5 boards will receive a 4.10 release as soon
as they have finished validating and testing 4.10.

The beta BIOS versions have been tested however there may be some changes and
tweaks in the final 4.10 full release. From what I can tell beta 4.07 and 4.10
release are more or less identical.

For info, there is a new BIOS 4.10 for the B650 RS Pro, which clears up the EFI error messages at boot

Arch Linux boots perfectly with no error message concerning EFI stub: Warning: unable to unprotect memory range

So I think that will also clear up your problems once it arrives for the x870e Taichi

Good luck and well done ASRock, as Gigabyte seems to be doing nothing about this problem

Thank you guys, I think I'll wait a bit for the Stable version Bios, but with relief that there is already a patch for this error.
