hi everyone, im just wondering, is it okay to update bios even if your bios version was from 2 years ago to the latest one which was released about two weeks ago?

edit:
forgot to include my mobo: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice REV 1.0 and my current bios version is F22 last updated March 2024

update:
so i tried updating my bios from F22 to F41, and my pc just turned off after the “verifying file” screen before i can even click “update bios” and it beep once and short. i turned the pc back on and its running normally and its still the same bios version (F22) what should i do next?

The cards which were manufactured before MAY-2025, how are they running now ?

Hi everyone,

​I just finished assembling my new PC, but I can't get it to boot/POST. The fans spin, the lights turn on, but the red VGA LED on the motherboard stays solid red and I get no display output on my monitor.

​Full Specs:

​CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

​GPU: XFX Swift Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB

​Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Gaming WiFi6

​RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6400MHz CL32

​Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB

​PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850W

​Case: Corsair FRAME 4500X RS-R ARGB

​Monitor: MSI MAG 274QPA QD-OLED X24 (27" 1440p 240Hz)

​The Problem:

​System turns on, but stays stuck on the VGA Debug LED (Solid Red).

​No display signal on the monitor via DisplayPort.

​The GPU fans are spinning, so it's receiving power.

Hi, I’m having an issue with sound popping on my GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7.

When I have my audio jack connected directly to the motherboard, I get very noticeable popping whenever audio starts playing, when it stops, during PC startup, and basically any time there is a transition between silence and audio. I also suspect that the popping may occur while audio is already playing, but it is much harder to notice in that situation.

I’ve updated the motherboard BIOS to the latest version, and of course I’m using the latest Realtek drivers. I’ve also tried completely uninstalling Realtek drivers and using only the Windows default audio drivers instead. I’ve tried various programs that are supposed to keep the sound card active, as well as registry changes to prevent audio device from being put into a low-power state, but nothing has helped.

The only way I can get rid of the problem is by plugging the jack into the front panel headphone jack. For some reason, the problem does not occur there at all. However, I don’t consider this a permanent solution, only a workaround, as I need to use the standard rear audio jack.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it? I honestly didn’t expect to be dealing with an issue like this on a motherboard that is definitely not a low-end model...

I bought a Ryzen 5 3600X with a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite. I installed my working ram kit and gpu, but it cycles between CPU, DRAM, and VGA for a while and then stays at DRAM. My CPU pins are not bent or dirty. I have tried a second working ram kit and got the same results.

If there is anyone who can help, please write a comment.

Thanks!

I’ve had this for about a year - I took the GPU out last night to clean it and now it’s doing this loop.

I’ve reset the CMOS, I’ve removed the RAM and tried one stick at a time in different slots, I’ve tried just using the onboard GPU. Nothing has worked.

Any tips?

Hi, I have the B850 Aorus Elite.

The red cpu debug light stays on, despite the pc working perfectly.

The case fans work fine but the rgb doesnt work at all nor are they recognized in GCC.

They have been plugged into the correct motherboard sockets for rgb and pwm.

They worked once when I first built the pc (not showing in gcc still) but now dont work at all.

Can anyone please help me? Thanks.
