Board model: X670E Steel Legend BIOS version: 1.18 AS04 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X RAM: G.Skill 32GB (F5-5600J3636C16G) GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4090 (GV-N4090GAMING) I was upgrading from one of the 1.11 versions. I think it was the original from 10/25. Each time to get it to post I would have to power down, going as far as switching off the power at the PSU, waiting 10-20 seconds, then power it up to get it to post. Windows would crash every time with a random error. I couldn't even get a windows install disk to load. It would crash as well, ntoskrnl I believe. It gave me a few options like recovery, load to UEFI, etc. None of those options would work. I even tried a reflash of the BIOS via flashback to no avail. I'm back up and running using 1.11.AS03 [Beta]. Booted into windows without a hitch. Has anyone else had problems with the new 1.18 AS04 BIOS? I haven't tried messing with any of the hardware such as removing my GPU (because it's an infernal pain to get in and out) or fiddling with RAM, because also a pain due to the ginormous GPU. The RAM runs at the OC'd EXPO profile speeds no problem under current BIOS. I've tried resetting all BIOS settings as well. Just trying to think if there's anything I've missed or if this is problems with the BIOS and ASRock needs to fix this. |

I have the same issue with the X670E PG Lightning. Bios Post stucks until power off/on and it's even worse when trying to enable XMP. Which Memory are you using? I use G.Skill 6000Mhz F5-6000U3636E16GA2-TZ5RK They are listed in the Memory QVL. Also back to 1.11 AS03 now. |

| My GSkill kit I think was branded as flare and CPU-Z reported Samsung chips. 4800 or 5600 EXPO doesn't appear to affect my ability to POST or boot properly. I fiddled around with RAM settings. |

Set Raid. Installed Windows 11 hynix Platinum P41 2TB. Had two GIGABYTE AORUS Gen4 in RAID 0. Had 64gb G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo. Off the default onboard video. Had various issue getting ram bios settings to work. Seldom odd freezes with file explorer randomly crashing to BSoD. In January, I finally got my GPU, which seems to have boot issues. firmware GPU and complete NVIDIA driver wipe reinstall seem to fix that. Still had random crashes off my raid 0 or file explorer. Remove raid 0 for two volume drives and went to bios 1.09. Seem to have low power stability like could do desktop apps, but when going into games random crashes like 20mins to hour of use. Updated to bios 1.11, then 1.11(AS01), then 1.11(AS01). still increasing random crashes 20mins to 1 hour use. BOSD "Driver_Power_State_Failure" seem related to anything sleeping or going into low power mode. If I ran benchmarking or stree testing. everything seem fine for 5min to hour. few after shutting down the app few minutes later would freeze. Did things like going to single 16gb DRR. Turn off all RBG lighting. removed any extra usb devices joysticks, tobi eye track, usb dac, muteme button, printer. Updated BIOS to 1.18 AS04. Now pc was freezing like every 5 to 20mins from bootup. BOSD "Driver_Power_State_Failure". Removed RTX 4090 GPU. still having issue. went down to single ram stick. change memory setting. still issues. Checking temps, MB 25-27cc, CPU 36-42C at low use. GPU was 40C. Tried unplugging all power cables, switch ports. PC booting with ASROCK update which tried install AMD driver update crashed windows. Booting into windows just black screened. Reset BIOS, Bios formatted M.2 drives. After unplugging everything and replugging attempt RAID install on single volume hynix Platinum P41. Fail or freeze during windows 11 install. Switched BIOS to AHCI instead of RAID. formatted M.2 drives. Now in booting into Windows 11 usb install media, getting crash "ACPI_BIOS_ERROR. Tried taking out GPU and extra ram, same. Tried reflashing bios to 1.18 AS04. same "ACPI_BIOS_ERROR" error when running windows 11 installer. Hard or soft reboots let into BIOS no issues. Been trying different settings without luck. Going try to down grade BIOS to earlier versions. So frustrating. |

I can boot up the 1.18 (plain, no AS04) fine, and at first I was happy as the fast boot is much quicker, the rpeviosu versions needed 20-30 seconds to initialize before the bios apeared, 4 more seconds till windows. But it does not save my EXPO profile. After changing from standard 4800 to my 6000 EXPO profile, the new reboot turns off the PC completely, takes much much longer (nearly a minute) and then reboots again with 4800 Mhz. So 1.18 is not usable. |

update, I went back to 1.11 AS03 Beta, and at least the EXPO timings are woring again. With 1.18 the Expo timings were set in the bios, but did not translate, during boot in BIOS it says @4800 and in Windows you could as well see that it was running at 1.1 Volt instead of the 1.35 in the EXPO timing. My forst ASRock mainboard ever and I feel more like a BETA tester who is not getting paid |

Oh and I forgot my system specs, in case ASRock wants tpo re-create the problem. BIOS version with issue: 1.18 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X RAM: G.Skill 2x16GB (F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5NR) listed in mainboard QVL back to 1.11 AS03 BETA and it works again, memory runs at 6000Mhz and 1.35V. Only downside are the usual long bios bootup times with EXPO profiles ... |

Hi there Try to reseat your CPU and cooler, am5 CPU's can be problematic with to much or to little pressure on the socket, I Went thru hell and back till I worked this out... me personally bios 1.18 has been rock solid on my x670e Taichi.. but i dont run expo memory (xmp kit) ------------- CPU: RYZEN 7950x | Motherboard: ASROCK X670E TAICHI | GPU: MSI RTX4090 LIQUID X 24GB | RAM: FURY X DDR5 C40 | Hard Drive: INTEL OPTANE 900P 480GB,1 x SAMSUNG 980 PRO 2TB,2 X ADATA S8200X 2TB |

Unplugged everything. Replugged Everything. Note did move one of my 6pin power from the top rail to the bottom rail. Removed GPU, HDD, and two GIGABYTE AORUS Gen4 M.2GIGABYTE AORUS Gen4 M.2. Reset CMOS. Reflashed BIOS back to 1.11(AS03). Left 4 ram stick in and in bios for ram left everything set to Auto. Booted off USB drive for Running Passmark MemTest86. No errors or issues with CPU or Ram. Left SATA controller to AHCI. Boot off Win11 USB media. Installed, updated, and now running without issues on based config with 1 m.2 and no GPU other then built-in AMD. Allowed all Windows Updates, before letting ASRock auto driver install do updates. So far running ok, sleeping ok, ran furmark for an hour without crashes. Next steps will be to add GPU back in. Then other drives. |

1.18 AS04 restarts to a black screen forcing a hard reboot. With 1.18 I experienced frequent browser crashes and less frequent windows crashes. Rolled back to 1.11 AS03 which operates without a problem. This box is a pretty vanilla setup using all approved hardware. Had the same problems with FW 1.14 before ASRock finally yanked that from the downloads. Will 1.18 get yanked too? ------------- ASRock X670E Steel Legend (ABA159EAF581) AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 32GB (2x16GB) G.Skill F5-5200J4040A16GX2-RS5K WD SN570 2TB MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Win 11 Pro |

When can we expect an update? At the moment, small changes in the pbo settings for my 7600x => result in a black screen while using the browser. Or while playing. "Error 41 - Kernel power" appears in the event log. At the same time, any stress tests can run for hours without errors. On the cheaper b650m aorus elite, there are no problems and at -20 pbo the processor is stable and more energy efficient. wtf? |

You will need to open a support ticket with ASRock for that kind of info. This is a community forum. http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp" rel="nofollow - http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp -------------

| 1.21 worked fine so far, except that it randomly didn't psot anymore and rebooted until eternity, quick check in bios I could see it threw out the EXPO profile for no reason and then booted with standrad settings for RAM (1.1V). 1.24 is running sicne 20 days now and doesn't do that anymore, none the less, very annoying for a "high end" mainboard |
