Beware of agesa 1.0.0.4B bios not good!

BIOSes with AGESA 1.0.0.4B caution
Users are reporting that after updating the BIOS to a newer version that has AGESA 1.0.0.4B, the system won’t boot if you have the Xonar card plugged in the motherboard. This happens with other PCI-e cards as well (#1, #2). Most motherboards brands seem to be affected (BIOSTAR #1, Gigabyte #1+, #2, ASUS #1, #2, #3, #4, ASRock #1). If you have an MSI board, it might be fine to update to a BIOS with AGESA 1.0.0.4B (#1, #2). If you don’t want to go to the hassles of updating the BIOS again to the previous version, you should hold off the update. Also, for some motherboards it is not possible to go back to the previous BIOS (ASUS #1, #2).
If you’ve updated the BIOS and the system no longer boots, you could try this: remove the sound card, start the PC and enter the BIOS, look for a setting a called “Initial Display Output” or similar, set it to the PCIe slot in which the main video card is plugged in, save settings and shut down the PC, reinsert the sound card and see if system boots. If it does not, remove the sound card again and revert back to the previous BIOS.
If you run into these issues you could contact your motherboard support letting them know of the issue.

It is a Sound Blaster AE-9 and not a Xonar but maybe still useful information.
ASUS X570 ROG STRIX E-GAMING – 1404 (AGESA 1.0.0.4 Patch B).
With my AE-9 my system will boot, but it takes ~5minutes. After reaching Windows the system is not usable for ~3 – 5 minutes. (CPU usage 100%). After that everything “works”, but the Sound Blaster AE-9 is not recognized.
During boot I cannot enter BIOS. The Sound Blaster logo is lit for around 5 seconds, then the light goes off. My mainboard hangs at status code 92 for a while (PCIe BUS initialization).
I received my ae-9 yesterday, so I had no opportunity to test prior 1.0.0.4. I tried several things (i.e. GEN1 for my PCIe slots).
the AE-9 works just fine on my old ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING.

Asus, any update about this?
PRIME X470-PRO BIOS 5406 runs horrible and cant even run my DOCP memory configuration anymore 😞

This really sucks, worst bios update so far 😞

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue either with the 1405 or 1407 BIOS for my Asus TUF X570 Plus board. The restart in windows doesn't seem to work and when I do that the system shuts down and looks like in hibernate or sleep mo. I need to cut off all power source and restart the system to make it boot again. Normal Shutdown and Power on is working fine. I also see suddenly an error in my Device Manager. Other Devices PCIe Device, I don't have any installed except for the GPU and my nvme. Anyone can help me with this? Thanks

Can you post the device ID.

Make sure you have updated the device drivers for the chipset from amd

Hi I was able to solve the PCIe device issue. It's for not installing the TypeC driver for Nvidia. I tried all troubleshooting steps from changing BIOS version 1404, 1405 and the latest one which is 1407. I also drilled down to just the CPU fan, keyboard, mouse and monitor connected but still the restart doesn't work. To fix it is still to cut off all power source and then start normally. For shut down and normal boot everything works except for the restart function. When I click restart it won't boot again and the Ram and mobo rgb stays lit and if I press the power on the case. It tries to boot but then shuts off again. I can still use the PC and it works just fine but this restart glitch is killing me.

Same issue with X470-F gaming and 3700x, no new bios since last year, Asus really sucks on AMD products, my next board/gpu will not be Asus for sure, never more, expensive products with poor support.

Are these issues affecting the non-beta releases for the X370 and B350 motherboards too?

From what I understand, the 10 bit tag feature is part of PCI-E 4.0 so one would assume the issues related to that would be limited to X570 but X470 users seem to have similar issues too, based on comments in this thread.
