Hello,

was F13 BIOS a faulty one? The F13 was just removed from the B550M AORUS PRO-P: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard...upport-dl-bios

Kind Regards

Getting nasty reboots and crashes with F33g on X570 ITX. stasio, are you able to share F33i here again? I believe that's what I was on before and it was very stable. Thank you!

Sorry, I just realized how dumb that is. g is before i. To be honest I don't remember which version of F33 I was on before, but g is very unstable. I should have saved a copy of it.

I flashed to 13j for the B550 Aorus Pro AC and all hell broke loose on the USB front. My keyboard started stuttering like the early days with this board and every few keystrokes would be erratic or stutter. Reverted back to regular F12 bios and everything is fine. Issue seems to be Agesa 1.1.0.2 it seems.

f13i working fine for me with a 5900x and B550i Aorus Pro AX (not yet on the site, but changing the URL works fine): https://download.gigabyte.com/FileLi...ro-ax_f13i.zip

I often wonder, however, if people know the correct way to flash a bios:

For instance, clearing CMOS immediately after the flash is mandatory--it is not optional. I tried skipping the Clear CMOS step a couple of times and wound up with unstable bioses that contained a mix of the old & new bios controls! Got system crashes, etc. Went back to the correct flash procedure with the same bios versions and the stability problems vanished. Just pressing the button and releasing it is not nearly enough. Here's what I do every time I flash:

With ITX and possibly other configs we dont have easy access to Clear CMOS and have to make do with load Optimised Defaults. Also Fast Boot in App Center is a good way to get into BIOS rather than hopefully hitting keys esp. when you have fast boot enabled.

There are certain other steps to consider for each new release
1) Dont properly test anything, be surprised when users report problems, deny anyone else has seen the issue
2) Dont bother putting up release notes
3) Someone must post that the previous release was faulty as it's disappeared before updating
4) Users must then post their results after 5 minutes of testing
- the release has dropped 100 pts in Cinebench
- or it broke their PC and they've had to revert
- or it fixed everything and a day later find it didn't
This also applies to driver releases where it's important to post that the next release is looking great and fixes everything .... but sure enough when it comes out it doesn't.

So far f13i has been good for me! Maybe finally after 6 months the USB / Bluetooth issues have been solved ????

F13i is stable, although I did have one random WHEA error. I didnt have any WHEA errors on since F13a. Could also be due to some latest Windows updates.

Otherwise F13i seems to be most stable yet. BT issues are completely resolved, and thus far no USB issues either.
