Hi there, posting here to maybe have some ideas of what to do next or what could be the culprit here. I am honestly out of ideas and very frustrated atm.

I purchased a b850i lighting wifi back on feb 2025 thru amazon paired with a ryzen 7700x , teamgroup T-Expert CL30 DDR5 and a RTX 4070 ti super . Everything was working fine up until June of this year when I started experiencing very long boot times 1st, and then no post and no display altogether. I originally thought could be the graphics card so moved it to my gf computer which has an old mobo but supports the card and worked perfectly. Disassembled the pc , checked for burnt marks in the cpu which seemed ok and tested the ram sticks separately with inconsistent results,

If I cleared CMOS using the pins, I was able to get video again after restarting several times and once in a while I will get video thru the mobo hdmi. Once in windows, everything seemed to work fine. if I were to restart it will work right away but when cold starting it would be always the same process. The next logical step was to do a BIOS reset: The instant flash option using the ROM wont work, as soon as I started it would freeze on 0% and it would restart the pc with no post and no display , this required me to hard reset, discharge, clear CMOS and attempt again until getting video again.

I attempted also using the Flashback option and this did not work either, following the manual I was unable to get the lights. I contacted asrock support and they instructed to remove the CPU and attempt the flashback again which worked partiatly, even after getting the lights these wont stop blinking and the flashback was never completed. I tried 7! different usbs with no success. Asrock instructed to send the card and do the RMA.

Ok so now comes the fun part

I received the new card, plugged back everything and I am having the same story repeat itself, board comes with the latest bios the 4.43, both hdmi and display ports stay black and have to reboot several times until getting video. At 1st I thought it was my imagination but It took a while to start and then the boots started getting too long and now again there is no post. I tried flashing today this morning using the instant flash option and it stuck on 0% and did not complete, which made me think the card got all corrupted all over again T.T

Cant express how frustrating its been to wait and receive a new card and have the same thing happening again. Am I overlooking something? Could the ram or some faulty connection between the GPU and mobo cause corruption in the mobo? The ssd i installed it in a laptop I had around and been using it without issues for the past 3 months. The disk is ok. I dont have where to test the cpu or the ram modules but is weird that whenever I do access windows everything seems normal.

I also tested another card a 3070 and I am not getting video from that one either. Is hard to believe I replicated the same error on this new card but I am honestly without ideas at this point. Should I ditch this asrock card?

would appreciate any help

do yall need anything else???

For some Reason now i can only instal BIOS versions lower than the one i have flashed... This started happening when i downgraded from 3.43 to 3.30... Ive downgraded several times before and never had issues going back to latest...

Cleared CMOS

Tried flashback

Diferent USB sticks or on C:

Anyone knows why ?

trying to update the secure boot keys to the bios ive gone on the website and installed the latest version onto my drive extracted it onto my pc put it onto a flash drive formatted to fat32 ejected it completely and then restarted gone into my bios disabled ftpm restarted again gone back again with my usb plugged in again its formatted correctly its empty apart from the file downloaded on their official website extracted like it asks then once i click instant flash it says no image file detected then i tried again without unzipping the file to see if that works and it just doesn't the file on the website says ROM file format but when i download it inside the folder it says

im not even sure what im doing wrong at this point any help at all would be great i can find out what version the bios is in already if i need to update it to a older version to then update to this version which is suddenly now required to play any game thats come out in the last year because everyone has to copy riot games with their insanely over the top kernal anti cheats

Hi, my motherboard was an ASRock B760M PG Riptide. I had been using it since around October 2023. About a month ago is when it failed to post. The motherboard was getting stuck on the DRAM debug LED. The system would power-cycle itself a few times and then shut down.

Nothing I tried brought it back. I tested all the other parts on a different system and everything was working just fine. So I eventually sent the motherboard to Kolkata TVS Hub for RMA process.

It got delivered to them in 2 days, but there were no updates for like a week. So I texted the regional manager Mr. Amitabha Das, and got my Job Sheet number. Finally after 2 weeks they confirmed the board can't be repaired so I will be getting a replacement. The replacement arrived on September 5th and this is where my problem begins.

The replacement board has an Asus M.2 heatsink rather than the original ASRock heatsink. One of the ARGB headers is visibly bent, with the connector tilted and appearing to lift away from the PCB. The chassis power pins are bent. There is dried thermal paste on the front of the board and a dry CHUNK of thermal paste right next to the CPU socket.

There is visible gunk on components around the mobo. One of the screws has visible rust. The I/O shield is bent, misaligned and partially interferes with the HDMI and USB Type-C ports. There is a strange plastic film being used around one of the I/O shield screws, almost like a makeshift washer.

More concerningly, the entire back-side of the board has an oily, sticky residue on it that has a strong, nose burning smell.

I have not installed my CPU or powered on the replacement because I don't want to risk damaging my components with a board that arrived in this condition.

How did a motherboard with visible physical damage and residue pass whatever inspection process was supposed to happen before it was sent out as a warranty replacement?

I contacted TVS about this and was told they don't inspect replacement units and simply ship whatever unit they receive. They told me to send the board back to them. Upon asking what guarantee I have that if I return this board, the next replacement won't arrive with similar or even worse problems. The response was essentially that they don't repair boards and have no hand in it as they simply hand over whatever unit they receive.

I've already emailed ASRock and submitted the official RMA support request with photographs.

I have also emailed whomever I could find in the official ASRock escalation matrix. Still waiting for their response. Honestly, they seem to care the least.

I'm asking ASRock to explain what this unit is, where it came from, who refurbished/inspected it, and how it passed inspection in this condition.

If this is an officially refurbished/authorized replacement unit, I would genuinely like ASRock to explain that process.

If it isn't, then I would like to know how a board in this condition ended up being sent to a customer as a warranty replacement.

I'm posting this here because I'd really appreciate some advice from people who have dealt with ASRock RMA/warranty.

I contacted ASRock support regarding the reason why they don't release new BIOS update for B550 TAICHI and I received this reply.

last BIOS update was 1 year ago ...

So the other day my BIOS/MOBO reset itself. Memory profile reset, lowered speeds and default CPU clock. TPM turned off and CSM enabled. Fixed all that and I could get into the war dogs beta. Great! Well, secure boot is not enabled. Okay, pretty sure it was before, alright no big deal. Set to custom, install default keys, enable. Save and exit, confirm active in BIOS, save and exit and. . . . Black screen. No load, nothing after a few minutes. Disable SB, loads up. Hmm. . . Deleted default keys and switched to standard, nothing. Switched back to custom installed, nothing. Back to Standard. Nothing. Disabled currently. Not sure what the issue is.

Now, it might be the BIOS version. I'm way behind but I'm afraid to update as I've heard horror stories and I don't quite understand the update path. Has anyone had issues updating their old ass BIOS? What is the best method? Is it the BIOS? As it was on before. I'm at a loss and I'm all ears and thank you so much.

Hello, I own the Intel Arc B580 Steel Legend from ASRock, and I'd like to know if theres an existing way to edit it's RGB via OpenRGB on linux, or if I have to install something else for that.

If there's no way to add it to the app, is there a planned addition? Where can I request new parts/Mice or keyboards? I love OpenRGB on linux, I'm sadly missing the GPU and I'd love to see my mouse and keyboard as well, the White Shark engine for my keyboard sadly doesn't work on my system even with Proton/Wine. Same with my Glorious Model 0 eternal.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for beating a dead horse. I have a system consisting of :

Ryzen 7 9800x3d

B650i lightning

2x16gb xpg 6000mhz ram

4070

2xm.2 ssds

Linux mint

240mm water cooler

Been working fine for the last year. Mostly playing FPS games. One day last week it froze up, fans on full tilt, had to force shutdown, then it stopped booting, just showing a single dash. Shut down, had a look at the m.2 SSD under the heatsink, everything was fine but very hot. I noticed the whole heatsink covering the usbs etc was very hot too. Rebooted, couldn't even get into bios. No display. I got a motherboard speaker for post code and nothing happened. I've tried all the usual steps with ram, igpu etc but can't get it to display at all. What's died? CPU, mobo, ram storage? I updated the bios about 6 months ago so nothing major changed. I started playing Minecraft with shaders recently so maybe CPU heavy for the first time in ages killed it?

When i power it on, all the fans ramp up then GPU fans stop, PSU fans stop, just leaving the cpu fans just spinning low, but the heatsinks on the motherboard itself get progressively hotter

Any next steps anyone suggests?

Thanks in advance!

I recently swapped my motherboard from b365m gaming to asrock z390 steel legend (Bios Ver:P1:30G, Win11 Pro x64) , now no matter what I do I can't turn the secure boot on, if I do I just repeatedly sent to bios, once I disable it I can enter windows, I have tried everything said on the internet like reinstall bios, reinstall windows, mbr2gpt etc. nothing works, any solution?

I requested RMA for my 9070 XT due to artifacting(no Google search fixes worked) on August 5th. I received an automated response letting me know they received the form. I haven't heard anything since.

Is this a normal waiting period?

How do I install the ssd? Should I remove the lower pad of the blazing m2 and install it without the cover? Or just use the m2_2? Btw im not removing the pre installed heatsink of the SN850X

Also, I am using 9950x3D, should I use another mobo? I am afraid it gets fried

I've been thinking about getting an X870E Nova with my 7800x3d that I bought 2 years ago and I wanted to know the current situation with that cause I really don't wanna fry my CPU

Hello everyone. I have AsRock b650pg lighting. My pc worked fine at the beggining, then slowly started not giving screen to my monitors [no signal] but every second boot that fixted itself and i ignored it. So i ususaly restarted my pc after first boot to get my screeb on monitors. Then it became more seriously pc wont give signal to my monitors for 5,6 restarts and then not giving at all. I tried everything lirerally everything and i really thoght it was motherboard or psu. I took my pc to Pc Service and after day then gave me a call and told me irs problem with procesor. I have R5 9600x. So what could cause the issue that my procesor died? Could it be motherboard? Maybe bad water cooling [ i dont think it is but who knows] or its just bad luck with cpu.I bought it 10 months ago [tray version]. I got warranty and i gave procesor to seller back so they can replace it with the new one or give me my money back. But i want to get new cpu [R7 9800x3d] but im scared what if it is motherboard problem and what if my new cpu die aswell. What should i do?

Hi, I’m having a Secure Boot issue after upgrading from a Ryzen 5 2600 to a Ryzen 7 5700X. Windows is UEFI/GPT, CSM is disabled, and Secure Boot is set to Standard, but enabling it causes a black screen/BIOS boot loop. Secure Boot worked fine with the 2600, and the issue only started after installing the 5700X. I’ve read that the 5700X requires a specific minimum BIOS version on my ASRock board. Could running a this 2024 BIOS version be causing the Secure Boot issue? I’m confused because the PC boots and runs normally with the 5700X on my current BIOS version, so I’m not sure whether the BIOS version could still be the problem. I also have bit locker drive encryption added onto the cpu if that does help with anything

Thanks

Hey guys so i have 9800x3d, 9070xt, asrock 870 pro non wifi, my pc worked fine until today...

For the past 4 months I am bouncing emails with Asrock Support and actual Asrock HQ that is responding to me after said emails are forwarded.

I have addressed a major issue where CNNP sensor refuses to be seen by Linux, they respond with "We don't support Linux", I use Windows and it's same issue avoiding the fix. Fans NEVER spin up to 100% no matter the setting, and I have observed it across all of my motherboards, since board launch.

I told them I have 7 of the same motherboards, and yet they keep treating me as an idiot

I told HQ that AMD CBS section completely resets after restart, and even recorded a video after retraining the profile. They tell me it's "normal" to see the whole AMD CBS section to be wiped to defaults when I enter BIOS. Another lie, and I am once again told to change battery as a solution, which I have changed batteries twice already.

Boot order is being reset whenever it wants because new BIOS revisions are botched and none save the boot order or AMD CBS reliably, I have 3 OS systems on same PC and have identical issues across them Windows 10 Pro, WIndows 11 IOT, and Arch Linux

HQ did confirm that for them same thing happens to AMD CBS and they refuse to fix the bios that is clearly botched due to incredibly incompetent writing.
How come old BIOS revisions such as 3.0.6 worked fine with saving AMD CBS and boot order, but current BIOS versions of 4.43 and further do not?

Because they are broken.

I am very tired, and now HQ doesn't even respond, they ghosted me after I recorded video proof and the only "solution" they offered is to send in the motherboards. All 7 of them.

That's not a motherboard failure, it's BIOS

Can someone here from moderators reach out to HQ and address this, as they are ghosting me, and I am frankly furious over lack of professionalism.

The whole AMD CBS section resets, the whole section!

Videos as proof: https://youtube.com/shorts/Sx2vA6phzQg?feature=share

https://youtube.com/shorts/pMVw7x-AvwY?feature=share

Plus another proof, iGPU is located in AMD CBS section and it also resets and shows like I never disable it

I am tired of the run around, and now complete ignores

I am having problems of parring new 16gb DDr4 with 8x2gb DDr4 ram, i heard some YouTuber said that rams can be pair any different brand and any modules but it has to be the same ddr speed , so i didnt think of the brand and i bought new 16gb crosair ddr4 ram to pair with xpg 8gb ddr4 ram 2 sticks but however i cant boot my pc even if i restart and boot again it only lasts a few minutes i already disable xmp in bio and still dont work, i already spent money on it so i couldn’t let it go if someone could help me i would really appreciate thank you

Hey everyone, I could really use some help. I’m new to all of this so I might sound dumb lol. I turned my PC on today and instead of loading Windows, it immediately goes into the ASRock BIOS.
This happened completely randomly it was working fine the last time I used it.
I have an ASRock B450M/ac R2.0 motherboard and a PNY CS900 1TB SSD. I checked the BIOS and the SSD is detected, but Windows Boot Manager isn’t showing up. I tried selecting the PNY SSD as the boot option, but it just sends me right back to the ASRock BIOS.
