ASRock has stepped up with a new BIOS update aimed at tackling the rising concerns over the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU failures, potentially offering a solution for users whose processors are still operational.
When it comes to taking action against the Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU crashes, ASRock seems to be leading the charge. Among all the motherboard manufacturers, they’ve been quick to release a BIOS update addressing the issue for their affected models. However, their blog post points out that this update focuses on fixing “unexpected boot issues and error codes,” without explicitly referencing CPU failures. This suggests ASRock is not acknowledging any responsibility for the processors’ potential premature demise.
ASRock, renowned for its motherboards, graphics cards, mini PCs, and gaming monitors, has picked up on complaints buzzing around Reddit. Users have been reporting unexpected boot problems and error codes when using their AM5 motherboards with a small segment of the AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. To elevate user satisfaction, ASRock wasted no time in rolling out the 3.20 Beta BIOS for its AM5 series boards, aiming to tackle these boot issues with the new AMD processors.
If you missed our update yesterday, a slew of Reddit users have been encountering sudden crashes and failures with AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs. Some face these issues right out of the box, while others might not see them pop up for weeks, indicating an unpredictable pattern of failure. It’s important to note that this isn’t something linked to a single motherboard brand alone, although ASRock boards are reportedly seeing this problem more frequently.
A statement from ASRock Japan suggests these CPU failures might be tied to memory compatibility issues, not a flaw in the CPU’s architecture itself. However, AMD hasn’t officially confirmed this explanation. This leaves some room for doubt, so anyone experiencing these troubles should definitely follow the advice from their motherboard manufacturer to stay on the safe side.
