Is my R5 1600 defective?
You've received a new R5 1600 with your Asus Prime B350M-K motherboard, but when you try to set the multiplier above 35, the PC only reboots at 35x. Your voltages are high—1.388 at 3.5 GHz—and peak temperatures reach 75°C. The Corsair VS550 PSU and 16 GB DDR4 at 2666Mhz are in use. Consider whether a refund is appropriate given these conditions.
Check if the most recent motherboard BIOS 0805 is available. Update it first if necessary.
I attempted to update the BIOS but after choosing the reboot option it produces a beep-beep-beep sound and restarts itself. This occurs roughly three times before the PC operates normally. It then displays a message prompting to start PXE to IPv4. When I pressed F1, the system rebooted correctly. Which update method should I select for internet connection? DHCP, PPPoE, or Fixed IP? I have an Ethernet cable connected.
Please attempt to reset your BIOS to its default configuration, restart the system, return to the BIOS menu, and only adjust your CPU overclock settings. Avoid modifying memory settings—do not use XMP or any other options. The current memory will operate at 2133 MHz, which is acceptable for testing CPU overclocking. Frequently, your machine may reboot briefly after three power cycles, then successfully POST, indicating the BIOS is attempting to clock the RAM but failing. If the CPU overclock runs smoothly without altering memory parameters, consider adjusting the memory clock speed (e.g., 2400 MHz works well for Ryzen systems) later.

It then displays a message saying "start PXE to IPv4". When I pressed F1, the PC rebooted correctly. Which update method should I choose for internet-based updates? DHCP, PPPoE, or Fixed IP? I have an Ethernet connection available. Never use the internet option for updates—it's too risky, so opt for the safer method. Download the BIOS, compress it to a USB drive, and perform the update directly on the BIOS.
When I restart my PC, it displays these messages

I managed to boot up by pressing a few random keys. Please help me.
Your bios needs adjustment; ensure your boot drive is prioritized in bios settings.
I saved the BIOS from the Asus website and after unzipping it, I found a file with the .CAP extension. I’m unsure if this is the correct file to update my BIOS or if there are other steps I need to take. I’m worried about damaging my motherboard and want to avoid any mistakes. Thanks and sorry for not posting earlier.
