ASRock has stepped up with a new BIOS update aiming to tackle the ongoing concern with AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs. This update might be just what you need if your CPU is still functioning.
### ASRock Quickly Delivers a Solution for AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Issues with a BIOS Update
The first signs of relief for those grappling with AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU troubles have emerged. Among various motherboard manufacturers, ASRock has taken swift action, rolling out a fresh BIOS update for the affected units. While ASRock’s official blog post outlines that the new BIOS is designed to fix “unexpected boot issues and error codes,” there’s no specific mention of CPU failures. This might imply ASRock isn’t accepting responsibility for any units that are effectively DOA (Dead on Arrival).
ASRock—a global giant in motherboards, graphics cards, mini PCs, power supplies, and gaming monitors—has noticed users’ reports on Reddit about unexpected boot issues and error codes when their ASRock AM5 motherboards are used alongside a select few AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. In response, ASRock promptly introduced the 3.20 Beta BIOS for its AM5 series motherboards, aiming to improve the boot experience for AMD Ryzen™ 9000 series processors.
Just yesterday, many Reddit users reported sudden crashes and failures with AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs. Some encountered these issues right when powering up for the first time, while others faced problems only after days or even weeks, indicating the unpredictability of these malfunctioning systems. Notably, this problem isn’t confined to a single brand of motherboards, but ASRock’s models do seem to encounter it more often.
ASRock Japan has weighed in, attributing the CPU failures to memory compatibility issues rather than the CPU design itself. However, without an official word from AMD, uncertainty lingers. For now, if you’re one of the affected users, it’s advisable to follow your motherboard manufacturer’s guidance on the matter.
