Meaning a flash may do nothing, make it better, or even make it worse?

 

To rule out, first clear cmos and remove any motherboard and OC utilities you have installed.

Update the chipset drivers.

Contemplate a fresh windows install..... (not yet cause I don't know the standing of the OS right now)

 

Then decide weather a flash is a wise choice over an RMA.... I'm still thinking on this one, yet... 

Im an idiot and MSI are terrible and UI's 

I think due to the added support of 3000's CPU's the removed the UI to save space. 
Now when i change the options from normal to advanced AUTO is no longer in brackets. But theres no indication that you can write anything instead. 
I just thought of it, and its now fixed. Im back at 4.2 😄 thanks for the help 😄

Hey guys. 

I've recently noticed my PC isnt overclocked to 4.2 anymore but only 4ghz all core. I check my BIOS to discover the UI is completely different and i have no OC control at all. 
I updated my Bios to the latest Beta version and it worked perfectly fine. About a few weeks ago i bought additional 16 gigs of TridenZ memory which i installed. 
I did have a few hickups here and i had to clear the CMOS to get the sticks to work. Never the less i got it to work with my overclock. 

Now after noticing my CPU doesnt boost to 4.2 i cant do anything anymore. 
CPU-Z says im on AGESA - 1.0.0.6 with MSI Bios version 7A34vALR(Beta version)

Should i downgrade my bios back to 7A34vAJ or does anyone have any recommendations? 

FYI. Ryzen Master also crashes when i try to launch it.

OK cool.

 

What do you mean the UI changed? 

You mean it comes up as simple or advanced mode and one of these looks different now?

So the Bios now has a more Oldschool look with  tabs on the top. 

It previous looked like this: And no its not because of the advanced mode

Did the bios automatically update through the app or something?

If not, I'd wonder the integrity of the bios at this point.

Meaning a flash may do nothing, make it better, or even make it worse?

 

To rule out, first clear cmos and remove any motherboard and OC utilities you have installed.

Update the chipset drivers.

Contemplate a fresh windows install..... (not yet cause I don't know the standing of the OS right now)

 

Then decide weather a flash is a wise choice over an RMA.... I'm still thinking on this one, yet...
