" rel="nofollow - Which BIOS are you using? If you haven't tried it yet update to the latest beta. For your board that's 4.63.

r32200g, this is a user forum - all volunteers here. Very seldom does an ASRock person post here. To complain, please open an ASRock technical support ticket. Enjoy, John.

MisterJ is correct, we are all just owners and users the same as you. We just try to help each other and we are well aware of issues affecting users, but when we have a complaint it must be sent to AMD and not here.

You don't mention which motherboard you are using. Different motherboards use different BIOSes so the version numbers are meaningless unless you specify which motherboard.

Going by the fact that the topic is for AB350M Pro4 and the bios versions he mentions i'm guessing it's the AB350M Pro4
And to answer his question going below 4.50 the Raven Ridge APUs aren't supported. If you have 4.50 you can easily update to 4.63. In my experience 4.63 it's a lot worse than 4.50 but that varies from person to person.

There are several AB350M Pro4 threads. If this is one of them it isn't obvious from the title. Still, I glad you got an answer to your question.

I nearly fell for that too. typed out a response much the same as JohnM, then double double checked and saw the MB referenced,,,,,,,but NOT in thread title bar, so not obvious..........Be much easier if it was....along with full build details in signature.........Make it a lot more straightforward when trying to respond helpfully.
