Modifying the BIOS settings
Modifying the BIOS settings
Hello, I hope everyone is enjoying a pleasant day! I wanted to start a new conversation instead of joining an existing one, since I just finished upgrading my graphics card. I realized my older Ryzen 5 2600 might be limited and planned to update the BIOS. Before that, I bought a Ryzen 7 3700X, which would have been better suited for the new GPU. Earlier, after installing the CPU, I couldn't see the BIOS splash screen and a red LED lit up. I think my BIOS only worked with the second-generation Ryzen models.
I checked compatibility pages and found that my motherboard should support the 5th generation Ryzen, but I wasn’t sure. My current BIOS version was E7C02AMS.120. Since MSI doesn’t list it on their site, I’m worried about losing access if something goes wrong. I’m new to BIOS updates, so this feels important to me. Please help me out! Thank you.
I believe this could be your bio version—verify the release date to ensure it matches. You require 7C02v18 or higher for the Ryzen 3000. It seems the Ryzen 5000 isn't compatible with this board. The beta bios might offer better support for Windows 11 if you choose that option. Edited May 9, 2022 by JogerJ
The recorded build date is 9/21/18, however it seems unrelated to the release timeline.
7C02v12 came out a few days after, with some details aligning. It's pretty close. To verify the exact BIOS version, you can download 7C02v12 and use the flash utility without flashing it. The tool will check and display the build number in the prompt, likely confirming they match.
appears to fit what you expect. the first image matches the BIOS you installed, version is correct. the second image is v18, an older release but worth testing. you can update to newer BIOS versions like v1E later. i checked the beta versions and it seems to be an older AGESA release, which might cause stuttering with FTPM on Windows 11 (the fix should appear in version 1207 and above).
It seems you're experiencing some unusual startup behavior. After rebooting to Windows 11, you noticed a white dash before reaching the BIOS screen, which worked fine. It looks like you might be running the first version of MSI Click Bios. Your settings show Secure Boot and TPM disabled, yet the system still booted. The OS reported "compatible TPM module not found" and indicated CSM as the boot mode, though it's likely booting in UEFI automatically. What’s happening?
It's great that the BIOS update went smoothly. I successfully installed my Ryzen 7 3700X on the motherboard, configured the BIOS, and it's running perfectly after a short gaming session. Thanks again, @JogerJ
