The latest ASRock BIOS does not make the AMD Ryzen 9000 Series work, which remain unbootable

ASRock announced earlier this month that it was working on fixing problems with the AMD Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs and its plates with compatible socket AM5. Some CPUs end up dying after a while of use, and ASRock has called this problem “boot problems with some CPUs“After two weeks with the beta version available for some models, the stable version was released yesterday 4.10 BIOSbut apparently it doesn’t solve this problem entirely either.

The problem persists, BIOS 4.10 does not boot dead CPUs

From Tech YES City They have managed to reproduce this error on a second CPU AMD Ryzen 9 9950Xwithout X3D. CPU sat idle after 3 or 4 months of use on a motherboard ASRock X870 Steel Legend Wi-Fito which he tried to update the BIOS to see if the CPU would be reborn, an attempt without success. In addition to the ASRock board, this AMD Ryzen 9 9950X It also didn’t work on other motherboard models.

It seems that ASRock’s idea of ​​​​updating the BIOS to bring these CPUs back to life does not work, and that the failure caused finally leaves the processor inoperative. Rumors say that a party of Defective CPUs are to blame for these failures, although Tech YES City assures that this second CPU comes from a different source. Others speak of a defect in the ASRock motherboardssomething that makes more sense when the CPUs are left without working after being placed on one of their motherboards.

CPU or motherboard failure?

Even some users have tried to reproduce the error thoroughly and have not succeeded, after a while their CPU continues to work on an ASRock motherboard. In any case, it seems that the best thing is to update to the new version 4.10 BIOS to try to prevent this problem, although if you were already working with one of these CPUs for some time it seems like a lottery that sooner or later your CPU will be left unresponsive, and without being able to revive it.
