Stumbled upon this thread with the same issue through some googling; same board and same CPU (upgrading to the 5800x from the 2700x). I had to do individual step-up's as well from v.1104, and currently waiting for the 4007 update to finish before giving the next update a shot. Thank you OP and everyone!
Hey there! I missed updating the post—I accidentally left the BIOS unchanged because of some wrong memory settings. I’ll probably refresh it later, but right now I’m sticking with the current version. Thanks a lot for your support! Also, great info from @Hexaven on what to do.
I revised my profile and am currently using BIOS version 2501. I upgraded step by step (2203 → 2304 → 2501). I thought about moving to newer releases, but 2501 appears stable right now. I plan to run a few tests with memtest and Aida64 to verify the fix. @Hexaven Do you encounter any problems with your 2700x running on BIOS 2501? I chose this version because I faced difficulties setting D.O.C.P. (XMP) on my dual 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM sticks. I managed to set D.O.C.P. in the BIOS, and it confirmed the right speed, but Windows tools like Task Manager, CPUz, HWinfo, and Ryzen Master all indicated 1600MHz—speed that should adjust with D.O.C.P. tweaks (e.g., 3200MHz in BIOS → 1600MHz in Windows). In BIOS 2501, Task Manager now shows accurate speeds and the system feels more responsive. CPUz, HWinfo, and Ryzen Master still report half-speed performance. I also noticed Windows auto-sleep issues with the older BIOS: when set to sleep automatically, the PC would wake without showing anything, forcing a hard restart. Manual shutdown via Start Menu resolved the problem. This wasn’t a Windows issue—it occurred on two separate Windows 10 installations on different drives. I’m hoping this update resolves the auto-sleep concern. If anyone has insights on newer BIOS versions, please share your experiences.
DDR4-3200 operates at 1600MHz. Avoid confusing the MHz value with the speed of transfers. Check the reference table on Wikipedia for more details. Your sleep problems might stem from a known issue Zen encounters during deep power-saving modes—likely something you can turn off in your BIOS settings.
