GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[Boing]

do you have try this uefi?

performace is better, but the first boot of the day makes yesterday and today some trouble.
yesterday i get an uefi info. ftpm detect an new cpu and blocked the boot (cpu is the same). i didn't use bitlocker so i said yes and the windows try to boot. the load cycle freeze. after reboot everthing is fine. my uefi setting (ram oc and some little chnages wasn't reset.

today win10 will also not boot. after reset. win starts the auto reparation and said the system wasn't correct start.
i inform the esupport.
i believe thats is something with the tpm modul. tpm is active.

Yes, I updated a week ago and I had no problems. I also have TPM active and Windows 10. Sorry, I can't help you.

F36b installed--x570 Aorus Master 1.2.0.6b AGESA--working fine, no problems.

[mgfirewater]

Officialy posted F15a has different checksum than F15a from Gigabyte support email to Boing.
AGESA 1.2.0.6b, still with VDDG bug :-(

thanks for the input i try the official one. vddg bug does not affect me. my auto value vddg is 0,997v (zentiming) since f13 betas

Yeah the official version was created on 16th February, the version from boing is 2 days older

You're absolutely correct about the Boot and Auto Reparation issues. Upgraded from F35b (ran flawlessly) to F36b (What a pain in the ass). Found out the new F36b doesn't play well with Win10. Had to use System Restore to get my 3900x/X570 Aorus Master machine rockin' again.....

Edit: Just realized what was drastically different in F36B as opposed to previous Bios versions. That WORTHLESS default status of AMD PSP fTPM is Enabled. I changed that to Disabled and my problems disappeared. I know guys run Win10 with it Enabled BUT I'm guessing it needs to be Enabled when you install Win10 to start with. Me, I NEVER want to see that !@#$ thing Enabled on MY Win10 machine again.....

[lap0573]

fTPM is needed by the W11 checker but there's no need to update BIOS to enable it - its a CPU feature always available but GB have just enabled it by default on the recent BIOS

I have seen threads about stutter with fTPM enabled - I havent seen it and dont undertand the connection because it shouldn't have any performance impact but thats what some people are saying theyre getting

Its natural to blame new BIOS for many issues but often its just that settings are different - and sometimes the process of updating has an effect - I think some device firmware was updated when I updated to F15 on my B550i

I tried your suggestion but no luck, still same issue :/ and after having the computer off since yesterday it took me multiple boots to even have an image on the screen, it Kept rebooting and giving me no signal :/

You shouldn't have honestly;
Always, always (be it Intel or AMD, high or low end), start with Gigabyte's drivers.
Then (as in on top of it, no uninstalls or manual tweaking/removals, everything 'stock') and only then do you install the latest from the official vendor. Or in your case, chipset drivers.
- This applies for Gigabyte boards, been over a decade since i tried anything else. Even if you haven't had any issue 'till now, i'd tell you hand to heart you've just been lucky.. or, just as possible, you have had issues, just not the skillset/experience to be aware of them.
- Should you have a Radeon GPU, be it discrete or integrated, same thing applies. First download the Gigabyte driver suite, reboot if not automatically forced to, then install latest Adrenaline. Again, on top of the Gigabyte one, no uninstalls, no manual changes.

Fan curves are always reset, along with everything else after a BIOS upgrade.
This isn't a Gigabyte thing, it's everywhere.

Since you ask basic questions, a bit more advise if you don't mind.
The process to safely upgrade a BIOS is only one:
- Go to BIOS, select reset to defaults, save, exit. Will reboot on its own.
- If you have manually set extremely tight timings on your RAM, you'd also need a hard reset in this step, ie removing CMOS batery entirely --and-- waiting for say 10mins before reinstalling it.
- After booting, go straight to BIOS again, don't let it load your OS. Inside the BIOS, do your upgrade. It will reboot again when done.
- After booting, go straight to BIOS again, don't let it load your OS.
- Check if new BIOS version shows correctly. Again select defaults (yes, even though you just upgraded and everything is stock), again save, again exit.
- After booting, go straight to BIOS again, don't let it load your OS. Now you can redo your individual settings.
* Why not let it boot your OS too? Because in select scenarios, your current install with your current BIOS settings could potentially cause issues in the OS if suddenly booted from a stock/new BIOS. As is so, so often the case.
** Never, ever upgrade a BIOS without first resetting it to default(s).

also f15a from 16th February doesn't like a cold boot. today i have to restart 4 time to see the log in screen. first i had 3 freezes (one at the auto reparation!) before the auto reparation works correct, diagnose a start abort an let my start correct.

addition: esupport told me the bug has to do something with the profile import. the reason is for me incomprehensible, because the value is the value.

thanks for advice.

never had any problems with updating the chipset drivers from AMD.

Is it ok to install now the ones from Gigabyte or is this a problem?

[Waltc]

I think that some people don't think that resetting CMOS after every flash is necessary, and they're usually the ones having problems with a new bios. Without resetting CMOS all of the previous bios settings aren't fully erased before the new settings are entered for the new bios, and it can cause a lot of weird problems. As well, some people really don't know how to reset CMOS properly, either...;) x570 Aorus Master, 3900X, flashed from F34 to F35, no problems, and then from F35 to F36b yesterday, no problems. Running Win11 build 22557.1000.

[lafonte]

Did someone tried to contact the customer support at gigabyte? How has been your experience? I've contacted them and personally I'm quite shocked, the process lasted more than one week I never got more than one answer per day and for the last one I waited 3/4 days. At the end of the story they denied that the vddg bug even exists, they didn't provide a solution and they never said sorry.

[obogobo]

sounds about right. anyone know if the VDDG bug is an AGESA issue or an issue w/ our BIOS itself?

[marstein]

I have been running F37a on X570 Aorus Elite Wifi for a few days now with no problems.
Using XMP, CSM disabled, 5800x, 64GB G.Skill F4-3600C18-32 2x, Radeon 5700X
