ASUS X370 PRO RAM BIOS issues

NerdModeEngaged · June 28, 2017

Well, the time has finally come, the bios that mostly "fixes" Ryzen memory support, this now means that my G.skill Trident Z RGB 3000CL16 can now post at higher frequencies, (Haven't yet seen how high), this may seem all great, which it is however I have found a new problem, when the update completed i was given the usual "update successful click okay to reset", i was like fantastic, however when i hit that button the pc did not re boot, i had no video output and the drives did not spin up, my first reaction was "s@#t" as i thought that i had just bricked my board, however i recognised this as a problem that i had on the launch bios of the board, the board will refuse to post with one of my RAM sticks in any order, just this one stick if its in the machine will prevent the board from booting, back then i thought it was a dead stick of ram so i was starting to go through the RMA process with G.Skill, however then i decided to move from the launch bios to the 0603 (I think it was this one) bios, when I did this i thought i would try the supposed dead stick of ram again, and it works fantastically, and so it has done for the last 2 months until i attempt the bios update to the 0805, this is where i can now see the exact same issue, i now know that that stick is completely fine it is simply my board being very fussy and i can directly link this issue to the bios, any help on this mystery problem would be fantastic, i really dont wanna go back onto the older bios as i am liking the higher clock speeds and i believe that this is a rather isolated issue and i do not see this getting patched in the future just for me.

P.S the RAM did work on the launch bios for 30 mins however after then it started having the issues

i think, but not sure, the best that you can do is contact asus and tell them your problem

I wanted to see if the community could help me first, but I will give them a quick contact if nobody here can help me, quick side note this new update is magic, not only did i get to 2933 rather than the old 2400, i also got a small overclock to 3066 on the stick that does work, i guess that is good haha
