BIOS 0606 Freezing games / or when installing software

Hello,

I seriously wish to complain with latest BIOS released for Strix z370-I. I have updated BIOS yesterday and updated the drivers on the page, and now when installing/removing software, the system freezes for a couple of minutes. I cannot play games anymore as eventually they just freeze and will crash.

I'm running stock settings, no overclock on the GPU or CPU. Can someone let me know if I can downgrade and how?

I also cleared CMOS after upgrading.

I updated to the latest LAN/Wifi/Bluetooth/Audio/Chipset driver that has been latest released on the ASUS page.

I have just reverted back to 0605, with XMP profile (no CPU or GPU OC) and will let you know if I still have freezes.

Anyone with a 1080TI and i7-8700k experiencing issues?

yes, random freezes while gaming. This didn't happen with the 0605 but 0606 started causes random freezes.

Also, system is overclocked.

Hi,

Didn't say i get an error?
I just said that when i tried (almost a week ago), using the DHCP auto update option, it only recognized 0605 as the latest.
According to users comments, maybe i was lucky 🙂

Anyways, i'm not interested in updating until a more stable version comes out.. At least from Intel's perspective in the form of a new BIOS version from you.



You didn't state you were using the internet option. Most of the EZ Update errors we see users get are due to using a non-compatible drive format, hence my question. In any case, as you're not upgrading, it's fine. 😉

You probably need to re-tune the voltages for the overclock.

I thought so but re-tuning voltages didn't help but reverting back to 0605 seems to have resolved the random system freezes.

You have to debug which voltage or setting is causing it at the overclock.

It is not related to OC, I'm, running mine on the default settings and I had random freezes/crashes in game, even with installing/uninstall programs. 0605 is fine.

The reply you quoted was for IraHayes. When you say defaults, are you still running XMP?

With XMP profile and without XMP profile it still exists.

You'll need to update your pc specs to include the actual part number of the memory you're using.
