Bios Update Issues

[david77]

After updating my Bios for Aorus B550 pro AC, as was recommended from Gigabyte, It booted into Windows 10 pro 64, and seemed okay. I went back into bios and enabled XMP profile 1, and It wont boot into Windows anymore. I received a different error code each time I tried (0xc0000221, 0xc0000098, and 0xc0000428) When I went back into bios and turned XMP profile off, it seems to boot into Windows just fine, but I do want the RAM speed I paid for. But don't know where to start to fix the issue since the error messages are all different.

 

It has been working fine with XMP for 2 years on a Ryzen 7 3700x , with 4-8gb Gskill Trident Zs, untill the bios update from F2 to F14, now It will only boot into windows at base RAM speeds.

 

All my drivers are updated, I do have one Windows update I could try, but at this point I am kinda hesitant to try anything else, as I'm kind of a novice. Any suggestions or professional help would be great.

You went from F2 straight to F14?

So this isn't always true, but at times it is not the best practice to jump to such a high number. Often best to do 2 or 3 flashes slowly going up. 
You could do a quick sfc /scannow to make sure your OS didn't have some lingering issues.

But if you don't find anything I might actually suggest clearing your CMOS and downgrading to maybe F8 or so. Then go back up and see if it makes a difference.

Thank you for the quick reply, I tried sfc/scan it did find and fix an issue, and booted up with XMP twice but third try was back to blue screen, I will try to downgrade the bios, and clear the cmos. Do I clear the cmos before I change bios or after? I will keep trying. Thanks again
