I own an Aorus X670 Elite MOBA purchased in 2022 at launch. It's revision 1.0. My system boots with the F6 Bios 1/19/23 version, which I upgraded after noticing my memory performance lagged. Recently, I experienced flashing lights on the motherboard, CPU, and RAM after restarting. The process would loop endlessly, forcing me to power off and restart completely. More recently, I faced four bluescreens within an hour. My phone stopped reading Windows QR codes abruptly. I suspect a Windows error, possibly related to TDP settings (though details are fuzzy). After researching the flashing issue, I realized it wasn't my CPU (AMD 7700x). I hadn’t modified it since installation and never overclocked. My concern was about memory, but I’m certain it’s not the RAM. I bought a 32GB 7200 kit from Gskill, opting for the faster model to match my 6400 kit. I needed to update the BIOS, which I did for the 32GB 6400 model in 2022. Unfortunately, my BIOS refused to update again. I waited 15–30 minutes, but the issue persisted. I reformatted the USB drive and tried various formats except FAT32 (NTFS was suggested). Still no success. I’ve attempted everything possible, including checking for corrupted files and waiting extended periods. This is unusual—most systems only complete a single verification round before updating. The repeated flashing causes me to power down entirely, which fortunately avoids permanent damage. I’ve heard that some BIOS updates require waiting longer or using specific tools, but nothing seems to work. I’m considering switching to a different motherboard now that this is unresolved.
They mentioned TDR, which seems confusing with the other symptoms. Video_TDR_Failure is a GPU issue. It might be worth deleting it to confirm the problem isn't with the CPU. If you have two devices, test one at a time to check for RAM problems. It’s very unlikely both are bad. Remove any unnecessary components to verify the BIOS/POST status. All storage, GPU, and other PCIe devices should be checked. The main concern appears to be the CPU or motherboard—power could also be an issue, but it’s unlikely given the current power state.
I also tried that but it didn<|pad|>, so I ended up buying something new. Regardless, I was planning to upgrade anyway because I wanted newer components. Still, it doesn’t really make much sense. I think it’s okay that it doesn’t work well. I’ve been wanting to test my CPU on a different motherboard since my brother has an AM5 setup. Honestly, I don’t see why that would be a problem—there’s no overheating, and it’s never been adjusted. I just avoid changing settings unless necessary. If it could randomly fail, that would be something I didn’t realize. I’ve heard about this issue with older CPUs, but I haven’t seen many problems with AM5, especially considering the timing of this problem. I was trying various things for a few hours last week and gave up. *Reddit and YouTube didn’t help much!* I’ll remove my GPU and NVMe drives to see if it improves things. If not, well, it’s probably a more costly fix. Lol, thanks still!
Self promotion sort of (I mod the discord), but the r/Techsupport subreddit has lots of skilled individuals helping people and there is a discord link in the sidebar if you prefer a live chat.
