Recent bios issues Update on system problems Technical difficulties reported
I revised my profile details but still can't increase the clock speed or enable XMP settings. I attempted to reset the CMOS, reinstalled an older BIOS version, and even returned to the original setup, yet the issue persists. Could there be something I'm overlooking? PC: MSI Meg Z490 Ace i9-10900K - clocked at 5.1 before update. 16GB RAM, 4000 MHz before, now 2666 MHz with RTX 3070. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You should note that I can click XMP, and I checked the BIOS under Overclocking where it lists a potential 4000. However, if I select XMP (the setting I used earlier), it triggers a memory clock error when I reboot. Also, I attempted to overclock the CPU and adjust values, but it didn’t work.
You might have considered these steps, but for a bit of humor, let's try re-downloading the latest BIOS. Use an empty USB drive and flash it to your motherboard without powering up the PC. If that doesn't help, clear the CMOS again and then attempt to boot XMP once more. Also, have you tried just one option—like installing XMP RAM while keeping the CPU stock?
I attempted one method at a time, yes. I haven't tried the BIOS flashback yet. I'll give it another shot.
So that didn’t work either. I managed to get it to function by loading the original BIOS version, increasing the CPU speed again, and boosting RAM using the “try it” setting back to its previous state. It seems like it worked this time, but I have no idea why. I haven’t changed it again since then—just joking! Thanks for your help!
