Hello everyone, I was considering buying the ryzen 5 5600 as an upgrade and was under the impression that i needed the new bios version 7.20 for this on my AB350M pro4 motherboard. my current bios version was 6.40, thus I should be able to upgrade to 7.00 and then to version 7.20 according to the support page; however, after updating to version 7.00 my PC will no longer boot past the bios. Is this supposed to happen because this is a "bridge" bios version and can i now download the 7.20 version to my flashdrive and flash this bios. Or is this an indication that something went wrong and should i flash the bios back to the previous version that i used (version 6.40). Thanks in advance for the help. |

| Incase anyone is interested. I was able to boot into safe mode which indicated to me that perhaps it was a GPU related issue. After uninstalling the GPU drivers in safe mode and rebooting, windows booted normally. After reinstalling the GPU drivers the issue seems resolved. I will now continue with installing bios version 7.20. |

Thanks for updating with your solution. Safe mode is always useful with OS related issues after hardware changes/BIOS updates. Safe mode will automatically revert troublesome drivers to Windows defaults and load any core drivers that are missing. Often times simply booting into safe mode and rebooting will resolve issues. -------------
