DGB Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2600 M/B ASRock X370 Gaming K4 AMD X370 S AM4 RAM 1 x 16GB Crucial ECC CT16G4WFD8266.18FD1 16GB DDR4-2666 EUDIMM 1.2V CL19 My new build fails to boot even to the bios and just gets stuck in a restarting loop, has Dr DeBug BIOS code "CO" I'm wondering if this is because the board shipped with BIOS version 2.30 but on the Asrock support page says the CUP is supported since version 4.6 Does this sound like it could be causing the fault and how can I update it if it cant boot? send the board back and hope to get a newer version or get a supported CPU to update the BIOS then sell the CPU? Anybody had this problem? I have tried resetting/clearing the CMOS Thanks Edited February 16, 2019 by DGB Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 You'll likely need a 1st gen Ryzen to update the bios. Quote Link to comment

If your board has a socketed (not soldered directly to motherboard) BIOS chip, contact ASRock and they will send you an updated BIOS chip. My ASRock board had a socketed BIOS chip and it was easy to swap it. Quote Link to comment

After contacting asrock support they said it most be old stock as they updated the Bois on new boards over a year ago so I must have gotten an older one, one option is AMD can loan a cpu for the update but I have decided to source one my self.

DGB Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have now gotten the Ryzen 1700 and updated the BIOS so it can use the 2600 but now I have the 1700 I think i'll keep that one, any reason I should keep the 2600 over the 1700? I will mostly be using the server for storage, downloading, and one or two VMs with gfx card passed through to use as a daily driver that could possibly do a little light gaming Quote Link to comment
