Help with new X570 master BIOS

[John066]

If anyone out there is familiar with gigabyte motherboards and their bios i'd greatly appreciate the help.



I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 3800x and purchased a x570 master to go along with it but i'm having two issues.

1. I flashed the main bios using Q flash and a USB to the newest version on gigabyte's website F7b, however that corrupted the main bios and i only get a black screen that won't load windows, but i am able to access the bios. When i switch to the back up bios that is the factory set F4 bios everything loads fine. I tried to flash the main bios to F6 and to F4 but the problem persists. I have complete access to the bios but it will not load windows. It doesn't even recognize the boot partition within the bios. I tried clearing cmos and set bios to factory defaults but it doesn't appear to work. Please help.

2. When i load windows through my back up bios (F4) my CPU temperature in SIV smart fan 5 is constantly going up and down in giant leaps while at idle, however other monitoring programs such as ryzen master show a constant 46 degrees. all the fans are working but something appears to be wrong with the temp monitoring within SIV.

Thanks,

Start an RMA with the one bad bios chip and go from there.

On the black screen, does it say it can't find a bootable drive? If so, that's almost certainly an issue with the AHCI/RAID setting, and/or the boot priority. If you've got multiple drive types SATA SSD / M.2 SSD, it will almost always attempt to boot from the SATA drive first, whether you want it to or not.
