ASUS B550-F SVM mode is not active.

Hi,

I am using asus b550-f motherboard. i want to turn on SVM mode via BIOS but after i turn on SVM mode the system reboots itself many times and won't boot. then when i turn off svm mode the system boots normally. BIOS is the latest version. how can i solve this problem. how can i activate svm mode.

I have a B550-F gaming motherboard, SVM is enabled and everything is working fine.

Can you share more details about this ?

The reboot happens when it is loading Windows ? If so, Windows could be the problem.

Yes, I am using windows 11 and the reboot happens at the windows loading screen. normally on my previous motherboard svm mode worked fine but on the B550-F I can't activate svm mode. so the system constantly reboots itself. I can share a video if you want.

If you can boot to secure mode, the problem is probably with the OS and not with the motherboard/or CPU.

You can try to follow the steps provided here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os-Q7rebFmQ

Or perform a clean of the OS, but backup all your files first.

Hi again,

the same problem has just recurred.

I think I need to reinstall windows.

If you are going to do it, remember to backup all your important files first.

A clean reinstall is usually fast, download fresh drivers from AMD website (chipset and/or GPU in case you have a Radeon GPU).

Go to ASUS support page and download audio driver only.

* Microsoft is using a newer Intel I225-V driver now for the network card interface than the one that exists in Asus website (2.1.3.3 in Asus and 2.1.3.15 provided by Windows update).

Update Windows, reinstall your apps and restore your files.

I suppose you can do it in less than 2 hours.

Hi again,

I cannot activate svm mode despite reinstalling Windows. I want to use wsl2 but I can't do it.

hm, same reboot problem happening or now you are getting a different error ?

[syloshska]

Hi ,

the same reboot problem. sometimes it doesn't happen, for example yesterday I tested it and it worked fine, but now today when I turn on the computer I have the reboot problem again.
