You recently swapped in a Ryzen 5700x into an ASRock b450m pro 4 cb OEM bored. The previous Ryzen 2700x didn’t play well with any BIOS except this one. After updating the BIOS with the new CPU, I tested it for a couple of days before installing it. Everything functioned perfectly once it was in. After the upgrade, I installed Windows 11 and everything worked smoothly. When I tried to launch Apex, my system began restarting on its own after about an hour and a half, and now it won’t even open properly on the monitor.

Restarting often involves resetting the system, which can lead to a boot loop if not handled properly. Full specifications include: processor (e.g., Intel Core i7), RAM (8GB), storage (256GB SSD), graphics card (RTX 4090), operating system (Windows 11 Pro), and network connectivity options.

It might be due to instability; consider resetting the BIOS or installing the latest version, then observe the outcome.

The only available BIOS update is from CyberPower, starting at version 2.0. I discovered a version for 8.1, though it's still in beta and the sole alternative offered by ASRock.

I quit and reinstalled the old CPU, but it only works without letting me switch back to Windows 10 or do a factory reset. I’m just going to install the 5700X until I find a new motherboard.

It seems the OEM-ready components might receive less focus compared to other parts. Beginning with Zen+ on a 400-series board likely means you'd get several BIOS updates, though results could vary since these were designed for OEM PCs.

One might assume cyberpower offers only two BIOS updates, the most recent being 2.0. I recall possibly seeing a post on another forum or a link to an OEM support page that mentioned an earlier update (the version I installed) as 8.01—a beta release. There seemed to be a single version available for each specific OEM board. I’ve been running it with the 2700x for two days before the CPU upgrade. After the BIOS update, I managed to install Windows 11, but opted to wait until the new CPU arrived. Once the new CPU was in place and temperatures stayed stable under load, I performed a factory reset using Windows 11. All drivers were updated, I downloaded Apex from Steam, and spent an hour gaming before going to sleep. This morning I resumed play for an hour and noticed issues began. It appears there might be a motherboard or power supply problem, though sources suggest the PSU should be fine. I’m considering returning the CPU to verify if it was defective.
