X670E-Pro BIOS 3014 and 3024 issues

[mattdeezly]

Mobo: Asus X670E-Pro Wifi
CPU: Ryzen 9 7900X
GPU: RTX 4080 FE
RAM: 64GB DDR5 @ 6000MT/s EXPO I

I upgraded to the BIOS to version 3024 and its giving me issues. It boots fine the first time and my second monitor did not turn on... weird. I turned it on and it was fine.

I then rebooted my computer and the debug LED said GPU. Waited 10 minutes, nothing. Turned off the computer and tried again. This time it booted and said something along the lines of "File could not be verified".

I then try to go into BIOS and its an unusable mess. I cant move my mouse, the background is missing, the text is all over the screen.

Is this BIOS known to be bad? I have the same symptoms with Version 3014 as well when I tried to update to that weeks ago.

The only way I can get my computer to function again is to revert my BIOS to Version 2613. Very confused by this. Hopefully I'm not the only one having these issues ...

Fixed it by myself thankfully. Hopefully this helps someone in the future.
FIX - flashing BIOS via the integrated slot and bios flash button. My first boot I just kept default settings and booted into windows (DO NOT APPLY any settings like EXPO etc). Then let windows boot up, shut down. Now you can boot into BIOS and apply any settings and it works like a charm now.

Initially I was applying EXPO and some other settings RIGHT after I flashed the BIOS. As soon as I just let it boot up with no changes first, then rebooted and applied the settings, it works now.

Hey there. I have the issue you are describing but with the 2613 driver. I believe the issue might be related to 64 gB of memory if you have 4 dimms. The verification error code is 0000000x428 with no filename. Can you confirm number of memory dimms, and whether they are QVL? Based on my experience, you will get the error message again. Usually happens when you reboot your computer and weirdly enough not a cold start

Update: I just rebooted and the BIOS got F'ed up again so I did not fix it. You're right.

I can confirm I am ALSO using 4 DIMMS have 4x16GB of RAM.

I'm not sure if they're QVL - i'm using G.SKILL Flare X5 Series (F5-6000J3636F16GX2-FX5)

I switched to ONLY USING 2 STICKS OF RAM and have done extensive testing and I cannot get any errors no matter how hard I try. This is 100% a 4 DIMM issue & I can't be bothered to wait and see if Asus ever managers to fix it. Buying 2x32GB sticks and calling it a day. This experience will definitely make me second guess using ASUS products again in the future for sure.

AFAIK that's AMD's problem not ASUS. I switched to 2 ram sticks back on 5900X cause it coudln't handle 4 sticks with full frequency. As an early adopter of AM5 I was naive enough thinking that the issue was fixed, and bought 4x16GB sticks and it couldn't run @ 6000MHz, so went with 2x32GB of G.SKILLs 6000MHz memory and could even tune the timings a little to 30-36-36-28
