Issue with Asus Prime x670-E-Pro Wi-Fi boot during cold start.
I'm thinking about these events if I ever encounter something similar with my Asus boards. I must admit I missed that you ran your RAM at 6000MT/s before the BIOS update. My apologies.
What's the age of your motherboard? When does the warranty end? The startup issues after Sleep/Hibernation might be linked to Windows, but the drop in stable XMP/EXPO overclocks to 5400MT/s following the BIOS update makes me consider Asus's RMA offer.
This assumes you have another machine or laptop to wait for until the new board arrives and you can spend more time reinstalling Windows and your programs.
When I face unclear problems, I switch to a spare SATA SSD and install a fresh Windows copy after unplugging the main drive. It gives me a chance to test if a new OS resolves the issue or if hardware checks are needed.
Maybe I avoid certain issues by not putting my desktop into sleep or hibernation mode and disabling Fast Boot. In the past, I've seen USB devices fail to restart when the system wakes up, which is especially frustrating with external drives and card readers. Now I turn off all power-saving features for USB, network adapters, hard disk spin-down, etc., in Device Manager. I still allow Hibernation on laptops but not Fast Shutdown.
This does explain some of the disconnect we have been having over the past week. But you are correct the Ram was running perfectly fine at the rated 6000mhz speed untill the 3042 and 3057 bios updates.
I have to have to point out that I after finding out how to replicate the POST issue, I mentioned that even 5400mhz or 5200mhz will not run in any capacity, the only reason it did seemed like the issue is gone is that I didn't put the computer to sleep each of those times. The only way the post issue does not appear is just running the default 4800 mhz.
I got all the parts August of 2023 and built it at that time. All i have is just a steam deck for gaming while away but it's hardly a replacement.
This isn't my first issue with Asus though cause my first build came with a non functioning Ethernet port and even then I didn't RMA and got a dongle to replace it . And yes it was a night mare putting windows 11 on it without an internet connection, but I did it. The RMA timing is absolute worst cause it is the holiday season.
I tested some high demand games Kingdom Come Deliverance and Hitman World of Assassination and the fps has not been affected.
Overall taking apart the computer to get to the MB is a huge issue since I need to remove my giant cpu heat sink, graphics cards and ruin the thermal pads on the ssds, for the promise the bios issue might be resolved.
The course of action I can reasonably think off at the moment is:
-run system at base ram speed
-experiment with upping the base clock speeds like Misgar has recommended.
-if I want to use EXPO speeds, never put computer to sleep, only on or off
- continue to update the BIOS and hope that fixes it(runs the risk of breaking something else)
- the computer will be reinstalled mid next year to Windows 11 so the sleep issue could be resolved either with the different OS.
- if I decide to to a partial upgrade, sell the MB and get a new non-Asus (I think I am now officially done with Asus )
Question: This fail to post message does it really harm the computer? I already ran the system hard for like a week and I haven't had any problems, cause I could just ignore it and keep using the system without compromise.
And all of this headache is cause of the me wanting to be safe and patch that AMD vulnerability.
Hi Stillent, I've faced the same issue after updating to BIOS 3057, but my board is ROG Strix B650e-i. I'm currently using the optimized defaults and everything seems to be working. Would you have tried rolling back the BIOS?
Hello, this process is really confusing for me. The problem began with version 3042; I was planning to upgrade to 3035 but the 3042 was just released from beta. I’m not sure exactly when the rollback point is, but going back to 3042 told me I can’t proceed further. Could you let us know how you’re handling this?
For potential solutions, could you tell us which operating system you’re using and what RAM modules you have?
I figured it out—the 3057 and possibly 3042 BIOS versions don't work with Windows Sleep or the EXPO profile.
