ASRock has rolled out a new BIOS update aimed at tackling the increasing reports of AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU failures. For those whose CPUs haven’t yet succumbed to the issue, this update might just be the solution.
ASRock has quickly stepped up in response to the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU crash dilemma. They’ve been proactive, releasing a BIOS update for their affected motherboard models. Interestingly, their blog mentions this update is meant to resolve “unexpected boot issues and error codes,” but it stops short of directly addressing CPU failures, implying ASRock may not be owning up to any defective on-arrival (DOA) situations.
In a recent statement, ASRock, known worldwide for its motherboards, graphics cards, and other tech, acknowledged user feedback seen on Reddit. Some users have faced unexpected boot problems and error codes with their ASRock AM5 motherboards paired up with a fraction of the AMD Ryzen 9000 series chips. ASRock has swiftly launched the latest 3.20 Beta BIOS for its AM5 lineup, aiming to enhance the boot experience for these processors.
Just yesterday, we covered stories from a handful of Reddit users facing sudden crashes with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs. Some had the bad luck of encountering this issue right from their first boot, while others experienced it weeks or days later. This hints that the problem can strike unexpectedly at any time. It’s crucial to highlight that this isn’t just an ASRock issue; however, their models appear to be most commonly hit by it.
In a tweet from ASRock Japan, they suggest that these CPU problems might actually be related to memory compatibility issues rather than an inherent flaw in the CPU design. Yet, there’s no official word from AMD itself to confirm this, leaving some uncertainty in the air. For those grappling with this issue, we recommend following the guidance provided by your motherboard manufacturer until more information becomes available.
