BIOS issue

[Juke]

Good day guys,

I accidentally posted on the wrong part of the forum earlier and I apologize for that. Anyways, I have this problem on the motherboard where it takes too long to boot with LED code that gets stuck on 0d for a while (like 30 seconds) and then cycles back again but boots properly. Everytime I boot up from shutdown, the BIOS resets itself.

Crazy question but is the bios up-2-date?

When you say the bios resets its self I'm assuming you mean it restores it back to factory settings?

Just recently flashed and is now up to date but the problem is still occuring.

Something like that. It just goes back to the default config like nothing happened in the bios. None of my files in the hard drives are affected though...

Another goofy question.  How about the battery on the motherboard?  Have you taken it out and possibly put it back in upside-down?  How old is the battery?  If that battery goes dead your bios settings go with it and will return to default because the settings you changed won't be saved.  Idk, just thinkin..........

I replaced it with a new one too 'cause I thought that's the problem. Turns out it isn't and the problem is still there...  This is really pissing me off so much.

Did you try to use only 1 RAM stick?

And if it makes you feel any better, it takes 20sec for my BIOS. At least that's what my task manager in windows 10 is saying.

And that's with all Ryzen systems .. it just takes long time to boot.

I'm fine with the regular long boot on ryzen... Thing is, it cycles twice before booting properly and then resets the bios on its own everytime I turn it on. I troubleshooted already and I'm guessing that the problem here is either the mobo or processor.

Also, do you get the code "0d" when you're booting? I have this problem and it gets stuck there for a while...

Had another idea just to double check.  How about the little clip on the motherboard where you clear the bios?  Is there a possibility that the jumper is in the wrong place?  Just thinking that maybe the jumper/clip got left in the wrong place the last time the BIOS was reset and forgot to put it back in the regular place?  Just thinkin............

Actually it's a problem with some Ryzen motherboards.

There's no jumper/clip left on the mobo though...

Really? I think I'll just wait for another update on bios 'cause it might get fixed. If not, I'll just RMA this mobo then.

Yeah, some motherboards have this issue.

My guess is that the upcoming bios fix will address this since it's not specific to just one model of board.
