Have questions about a bios problem? I'm here to assist.
The issue appears to involve several hardware and configuration changes. After your PC powers off, it takes about a minute to boot up Windows, showing a BIOS reset message. The CPU status light stays on, XMP settings aren't functioning properly, and when using 4 RAM sticks it runs at 1066.4 MHz (CPUID says 1GHz), while with 2 sticks it was higher. Your system clock doesn’t match the real time. Problems began after upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU. You updated the BIOS from F1 to F31, installed drivers and tools, then upgraded to F63c. The update went well except for minor Windows issues like boot drive selection and EC WF tool installation. Switching the CPU resolved the problem initially, but after replacement it started. On first boot, Windows reported an fTPM corruption; you reset it and it stopped. You’ve tried replacing the BIOS battery and resetting completely, and even ran the system with only two RAM sticks without fixing it. The situation remains unclear—what exactly was changed before the issues appeared? Anyone know what might be causing this?
I've made the changes to f63c, though initially updating to f31 was required. After that, updating the chipset drivers and using the EC FW tool helped install f63c. Windows is functioning properly now once the system launched.
I'm not entirely certain, but after updating the BIOS to F63c, I didn't encounter any issues initially. Once I installed the new CPU, I received a fTPM corruption warning in Windows. I don't recall if the BIOS problem was present before, or if it was related to the fTPM issue. I also can't test it now because the old CPU is no longer available.
The FTPM message is typical since you replaced a vital component. It doesn’t indicate a problem. However, your CMOS battery seems to fail to recognize the new configuration and restarts each time—this shouldn’t occur with a fresh battery. Would you like to power off the PC in Windows or unplug the wall outlet when disconnecting it?
I shut down completely, yet when I move away or go to sleep (the PC is right by my bed), it also shuts off the power strip connected to it. The lengthy startup only begins once I unplugged the strip. However, the RAM speed issue remains even without switching the strip (I’m planning to double-check this later).
Oke, so now when I restarted It said that the bios was reset, but I think that was because it was the first time I entered the bios since I turned of the power strip. The second time I restarted and entered the bios it didn't say that the bios was reset, and the XMP setting was still on. CPUID is now saying that the speed is 1599.6 MHz, so a lot better than the 1000 it was running at first but still not ideal.
Your RAM speed is 3200 MHz, which is quite fast for modern systems.
