r/ASRock

Below are my PC specs.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Processor

GPU: SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 7700 XT

RAM: 16 GB

SSD: 1 m.2 - 235 sdd for windows

4 sata - 465 GB

PSU: Corsair RM850x gold (New)

Corsair CX750 bronze (old)

Motherboard: ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0

Monitor: 3440 X 1440

Case: Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

My old Corsair CX750 started making whistling noises and it made me decide to upgrade my PSU. It still works and still powers on my pc without issue, but it's well past expiration, so I need to replace it.

According to the Corsair website and PC part picker, it appears as though this PSU should be compatible with my motherboard. When I power it on, my CPU fan and case fans spin for about 2 or 3 seconds and then powers off. My gpu never turns on. I have already unplugged all of my sata ssds and only have my motherboard, GPU, and CPU plugged in. Still no power.

Any ideas what might be the problem?

Every other post i see on this sub is about how these mobos are frying cpus, having major crashing issues, etc.

My question is: why do you all keep buying ASRock?? Maybe its survivor bias or something, but with the volume of substantial issues i'd think people would just buy a diff mobo.

edit: Thanks for the replies. Sounds like a survivor bias thing then. I just only see the bad news on here and was very confused, but it sounds like y'all are doing well, and I'm happy for ya.

edit2: A few are essentially making the point that higher volume of sales increases the liklihood of failure and thus reported failures. I totally agree. This wasn't meant to hate on ASRock. Something about my algo just only shows me the posts about bad news. Definitely a lesson navigating the social media bubble. Thanks again to those who joined the conversation!

I recently upgraded my BIOS, although I forgot to rename the file. I went ahead and did the BIOS upgrade; it went successful. That is until I restarted, I see the Asus logo as well as the option of pressing F2 or DEL to enter into the BIOS but even if I try this; the PC immediately reboots and it does this non-stop.

Therefore I installed on a USB key the previous version for my Asus motherboard, as the one before was the latest. I tried the EZ-BiOS update, it doesn't work. It reads the USB drive but doesn't apply the BIOS update. I also accessed the connection for the batter, disconnected this in all these cases the BIOS won't boot past the Asus logo; the EZ-BiOS downgrade BIOS upgrade won't apply. How do I resolve this ?

Hello everyone, my build has a B850 Pro RS and a 7700.
I've been contacting the Asrock Technical Support about this specific fact, the bank refresh mode.

They have been saying that the 1.3.0.1b would've unlocked the ability to choose the different refresh mode, I've tried the 1.3.0.1b and the latest with the new patch.
Neither of them allowed me to change the refresh mode.

Now, they've been saying to me (even with screenshots) that they can indeed change the refresh mode, they specifically used a 9600x (+screenshots) and then later told me that they even used a 7700 and they still had the option available.

Now I would like to ask you guys, specially if you're NOT on an X870/X670 and have a 7000 series CPU, can you guys change the Bank Refresh Mode?

I built my first PC last week, all the hardware boots and it is showing up in the bios but after installing Windows 11 Home the system is only looking for Ethernet.

I followed the JaysTwoCent video What to do AFTER you build your PC ... Updated for 2023 but even on the initial start up there was no option for wifi.

I've tried every fix I could find online except downloading drivers to a USB because the website for the motherboard won't let you, it says it will appear the first time connecting to the Internet. The only option that appears is Ethernet and after about 4hr of trying to troubleshoot I'm pretty frustrated and thinking of just buying an Ethernet cable to start the process (keeping the PC hooked up to Ethernet isn't an option for me) I'm also worried about a potential bad windows install? Any advice would be appreciated!

The issue:

I was playing roblox while in a discord call and PC decided to blackscreen but fans and LEDs were still running. I only got to use the PC for less than a week. Hours prior to the blackscreen, my C drive became filled to the brim because I had viber installed on it, and my SSD was partitioned. Only the SSD and PSU were the secondhand parts here. I used the SSD on my old rig.

What I have done:
I've reseated multiple components, replaced the CPU with my Ryzen 3, swapped my GPU to a brand new exact same one, tried using windows installation media via USB while SSD is unplugged (still no signal on monitor), changed the order of ramsticks and even tried using only one. I've took it to a technician and he says he's tried all possible troubleshooting, and it still doesn't work. Also tried doing switching between HDMI and displayport, nothing seems to work, and I'm getting frustrated.

I really need the internet's help on this, thank you guys in advance for your help.

Cześć wszyscy,

Miałem naprawdę frustrujący problem z moją konfiguracją AM5 przez ostatnie kilka dni. Moja płyta główna to ASRock B850 Pro-A WiFi w parze z procesorem Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

Gdy próbuję włączyć komputer po zimnym uruchomieniu (na przykład po wyłączeniu go na godzinę lub na noc), całkowicie się zawiesza i świeci na zielono dioda LED boot.

Jeszcze całkowicie nie padł, ale jedynym sposobem, żeby w końcu uruchomił się w Windowsie, jest kilkukrotne cykliczne uruchamianie komputera za pomocą przycisku power lub przełącznika zasilacza. Po kilku próbach w końcu się uruchamia i działa stabilnie w 100%. Ale jak tylko się schłodzi, problem powraca.

Próbowałem wszystkiego: zaktualizowałem BIOS, przywróciłem starsze sterowniki, usuwałem na czysto HWiNFO/oprogramowanie do monitorowania, a nawet odłączyłem wszystkie urządzenia USB i dodatkowe monitory, aby wyeliminować problem z przeciekiem zasilania. Nic nie pomaga.

Zaczynam tracić zaufanie do tej płyty głównej i boję się, że w końcu może uszkodzić mój procesor.

Czy powinienem po prostu odpuścić sobie i wymienić płytę główną w tym momencie? Jeśli tak, jakie płyty byście polecili, które są naprawdę stabilne i nie mają tych problemów z zimnym uruchamianiem/zasilaniem? Na tę chwilę mocno skłaniam się ku MSI, ale jestem otwarty na sugestie.

Z góry dziękuję!

UPDATE: Resolved - thanks u/nauxiv!

I'm trying to get this new server build to boot and I'm not having any luck. I've tried all the usual things (see below) and now I'm wondering if I have a hardware incompatibility that I missing.

Specs:

• Motherboard: ASRock WRX90 WS EVO
• CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9960X
• RAM: G.Skill Zeta R5 DDR5 RDIMM ECC
  • F5-6400R3239G16GE8-ZR5K
  • 8-DIMM kit
• GPU: EVGA RTX 3090
• PSU: SilverStone HELA 2500Rz
• BMC firmware: 1.04.00
• BIOS: updated to latest available

Symptoms:

• System does not POST
• No video from RTX 3090
• No video from onboard/BMC KVM
• Dr. Debug cycles through codes, including 15 and d6, then resets to 00
• Appears to be boot looping
• With no RAM installed, Dr. Debug sits at 00

Things I've tried:

• Started with full RAM kit, then reduced to 1 DIMM in A0
• Tried more than one DIMM
• Removed RTX 3090
• Removed storage / minimal config
• Confirmed both EPS CPU power cables are connected
• Cleared CMOS with button and jumper
• Updated BIOS
• Reseated CPU
• Checked BMC sensors

BMC observations:

• CPU temp and voltage rails are present
• PROCHOT_CPU shows asserted
• BMC memory inventory shows stale/weird DIMM data that does not match current physical config

Help?

I'm doing an am5 upgrade and considering getting the Asrock b650i lightning motherboard as it seems to be the best value for mini itx am5 mobos. But I've seen the reports of asrock mobos killing ryzen 9000 cpus.

As I would be using a 7800x3d for this mobo, is there still a high risk of the cpu being killed? Or is the risk the same as other manufacturer boards?

Hello guy, I'm using mobo B650M PG Riptide(non wifi) rn, just update to bios ver 4.41 today, everything seem fine till I try to open polychrome sync, it not detect any rgb component, try beta vers, still nothing, try to run writeFW.bat, it just show bios version and nothing else. Can you guy help me with that, I dont want my PC just run rainbow.

Been running solid for 11 months on 3.40 BIOS. I followed all the BIOS settings to give it extra safety as to not kill the CPU. Today was using PC no problem, put it to sleep for a few hours now it wont POST. I put it to sleep every day during the day and only shut down overnight, so this must be 1000+ sleep for it.

On Mobo the DRAM and CPU leds are lit up, VGA and BOOT leds are off.

• B650M-HDV/M.2 AMD AM5 microATX Motherboard
• Ryzen 5 9600X Granite Ridge AM5 3.90GHz 6-Core Boxed Processor
• Ripjaws S5 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL36
• RTX 3060

I'm reading a lot about issues with AMD processors. Why not just get Intel instead?

I have been running the following system for over a year (I built the system in March 2025) without problems, however today it crashed in the middle of using it and I have not been able to recover it.

Ryzen 7 9800X3D
ASRock X870 Pro RS
Kingston Fury Beast DDR5-6000 64GB
Nvidia Geforce 1070
Crucial T700 M.2 SSD 2TB
beQuiet Power Zone 2 1000W

I removed all SATA, M.2 and USB drives, as well as the graphics card. I reset CMOS (by removing and reinserting the CMOS battery). I all but a single RAM stick and tried it in different slots.
Still, only the red and yellow light (CPU and RAM) on the motherboard light up. I also tried to update the BIOS via the Flashback method - no difference.

Any ideas what I can try to do?
I will send this to ASRock and AMD support as well and see what happens.

I'm planning on using 9950X3D2, bought an x870e Taichi, before I started reading about all the issues frying x3d CPUs.

I also keep reading MSI Godlike has issues they haven't fixed yet.

What's the best x870e MB currently that will run a 5090 and a Gen5 NVMe in x16 simultaneously? Price isn't an issue.

Anyone upgraded to the new BIOS version? Just released today!
