Hello everyone! I set up my first pc recently, but it often crashes for 20/30 seconds. I have Ryzen 5 2600 Pinnacle and B450M Pro4. I have made memtest but my ram doesn't have error. When I received the motherboard it was in 3.60 while the Asrock website does not recommend this bios for Pinnacle processors. Should I downgrade to 3.50? Thanks !

The recommendation is there to discourage people from needlessly updating to new versions that will not add any performance/benefit to their previous gen CPU setup. These BIOS versions all work fine with older CPU generations from what I have seen. Make sure you have installed the latest all in one (chipset) driver from AMD's website. These 20-30 second hangups are almost always driver related. -------------

how long did you run memtest for? What are you running for drives, video card, power supply? What version of windows? What do your temps look like on cpu and gpu? Is your computer randomly locking up for 20-30 seconds? Have you run tests on your drives? ------------- |Ryzen 5 5900|ASRock X570 Taichi-BIOS 4.60|2x16GB HyperX Predator RGB 3200@3600 1:1 IF|ASRock RX 6700XT|2 x PCIe 4.0 M.2 Drives for OS & Games|850 WTT Seasonic 80+ Titanium PSU|Noctua NH-D15| |
