Motherboards with AMD processors / Re: Aorus Elite B550 V2 Rev1.1 and Sapphire AMD RX6700 Pulse 4 beeps

« Last post by Kamui on February 18, 2024, 05:18:41 pm »

1 more update. A friend of mine has exactly the same mobo Aorus Elite B550 V2.

And it's not working at his PC either! The monitor stays black with no signal output. This situation going to make me crazy. He has an RX6600 which works perfectly fine, but this specific RX 6700 seems that it doesn't work on Aorus Elite B550 V2 like it's blacklisted.

1st of all it's really fun that we are on official Gigabyte forums and all these days there is no official representative to suggest or help with the issue. This is really fun (NOT).

So I send the mobo as RMA to the store I bought it. The guy helped out and tested with 3 GPUs that he had available. The mobo works perfectly fine.

3 service centers, and they have tried 5 or 6 GPUs (2 service centers from the store I bought the GPU and 1 from where I bought the mobo). Some GPUs that have been tried are
nvidia 1080
nvidia 4070
nvidia 3060
AMD 6500...
I don't know their brands. All of them are working PERFECTLY fine with my mobo.

It's now obvious now that the mobo has NO HW issue BUT there is something that makes the current mobo with the replacement GPU Incompatible! Of course in such case you are the unlucky guy out of a 1.000.000 people and gigabyte won't even try to help. That is a lesson to be learned for my next mobo after 6-7 systems using gigabyte.

I am lucky because the service guy from the mobo store had just received an B550 Elite V2 as a replacement for another customer and he exchanged the 2 mobo. I am waiting for the "new one" (not really new) to check.

Motherboards with AMD processors / Re: Aorus x670E Master and Bios Hell!

Sorry to hear of your issues.  I'm not one to upgrade if I'm stable.  I use default fan control in BIOS.  Love how quiet my system is.  The fans on my GPU rev up a little when I'm rendering photos or video, but that's about it.  I have a small radiator and low RPM case fans that are very quiet. 

I don't think you can downgrade without risk of bricking.  Its not worth it.   Open a ticket with eSupport.  Hopefully the problems will get addressed.

Motherboards with AMD processors / Aorus x670E Master and Bios Hell!

« Last post by Bobins on February 16, 2024, 06:59:41 pm »

Was running B13d bios without problems. System ABSOLUTELY stable. Latest GCC seems to have fixed the persistent GCC crash when it was started.
GCC updated Bios to B13. Started getting random BSODs (different message every time). GCC then updated bios to B21.
NIGHTMARE!!!
Motherboard won't boot to BIOS then might boot but then when Windows 11 loads network not available. The next boot might get to Windows but disk drives other than boot drive not showing. 3 out of 4 boots show an AMD GPIO driver problem in Device Manager.
Reset Bios to Optimised defaults. Configured again.
Still no change. Motherboard randomly wont boot and has to have power completely removed before it will respond.
Most successful boots to Windows have some hardware non functional.
Managed to update bios to B22b.
System will now boot but still occasionally BSODs with random errors. (System is not overclocked).
The stuttering sound problem has returned again though as soon as GCC loads the performance library.
So I either don't have non-default fan control or fan control and stuttering sound.
For a premium motherboard...this bios stability is CR@P.
Want to go back to F13d bios but can't

Motherboards with AMD processors / Re: ax370 gaming 5 upgrade processor problem

Sorry but I would like to make some clarifications.
- the mobo already had the latest bios (f51m) and everything worked (with 1600x) . Replacing the cpu ( to 3600x) made the pc not working.
- the latest version (F51m) reports among other things "Fix AMD processor vulnerabilities security" and "Addresses potential UEFI vulnerabilities". You might therefore think that it would be useful to update
- given that the 3600x is supported from F40 version and upper (and I personally tested the F51d and it works), one might wonder what's wrong/or what they forgot in the F51m.

I can only put myself in the shoes of those who have only one processor available (let's say the 3600x), see a security update on the gigabyte site, update and find themselves with a non-working PC.

Luckily in my case I solved it. But how can you trust the quality of Gigabyte in testing before releasing a potentially "fatal" update?

ps. I don't remember the details now but in the past, a year after the release of this mobo, I had a similar problem. Since I too have been "tinkering" for many years I decided to give it a try: I bought the cheapest compatible processor (40 Euros or something like that. I still have it ...AMD A6  ) and thanks to this I managed to start and restore the bios.

I wrote that just for chit-chat and share for those who find themselves unable to start their PC after an update, that this attempt (of putting a basic CPU) could grant them access to the bios again and then operate from there to put things back in order.
... and yes. Do not upgrade your bios if you are not ready to (maybe) have  some headaches

I had one the other day where I build a computer some one. He had for 3 yrs. He want to give it to somebody. So he want to put in a better CPU. Well he upgraded the bios 3 times. The last one he use was a beta Bios. On that board you can't go back. 

Well I ended up getting it and what happen was I had to replace the board. The computer would run but at times it would just shut off. I had tried everything from changing the CPU, Memory, Video card, PSU, & even the SSD.

Plus this could have something to with but in the long run NO. He put a water cooler and didn't have it installed right. Plus the computer was running great till he upgraded the Bios.

I have been doing this over 40yrs. I don't update anything unless I'm having a problem. "If it isn't broke don't fix it"

ok I'll answer myself. Needless to say, I don't know how many times I swapped processors and how many hours I lost trying pretty everithin i could, even believing I had broken the 3600x.
Downgraded to F51D made my 3600x working on x370 gaming 5

Greetings,
Don't take the bait.  Once you have a working, stable system, there is often little reason to update your BIOS, unless you need it for stability, support of a new CPU or to patch a gaping security vulnerability.  Often many of these vulnerabilities are limited in scope having requirements that only make exploitation possible under limited circumstances.  Of course there are exceptions, but often your system would never meet all of the requirements needed to be compromised.  I also avoid beta BIOS (those with a letter).  Unless they are a final release where no further support will be received.  What's important is that you figured it out.  Good Work!

Motherboards with AMD processors / Aorus Elite B550 V2 Rev1.1 and Sapphire AMD RX6700 Pulse 4 beeps

« Last post by Kamui on February 03, 2024, 10:45:25 am »

Hello there,

So the story is the below. My Sapphire AMD RX6700 Pulse 10GB burned one of the 2 fans so I send it back for RMA.
After some days the shop exchanged it with a new graphics card and when I put back the new card I get 4 beeps (1long, 3short).
I went back to the store and ask the service guy to install it at his PC (and use the x16 PCIE) and check if it works.....it WORKS GREAT!
After I tried change position of the GPU from PCIEx16 (1st slot) to PCIEx2 (2nd slot)...same beeps.
After that I put and ancient Radeon HD6850 to PCIEx16 and works fine (so slot seems to be ok)
Next tried the HD6850 to the PCIEx2 slot...works ok...AND ONLY AFTER i used the HD6850 on PCIEx2 and then exchanged to the RX6700....the card works!
So I tried put it back to PCIEx16 ....beeps again!
So if the card works properly in another systems and in my PCIEx2 slot, why it doesn't work on PCIEx16??!?! I am going crazy and I think something is happening with the motherboard.

I remind you that the old Radeon HD6850 works good on X16 so the slot seems just fine. Additionally the exact same model of Radeon RX6700 worked for 1.2 years just fine and after I got a replacement now it does not work but it's the EXACT same system!


What I have tried
1) Use 750 and 850W PSU
2) Hard reset BIOS (battery + jumper + hold power)
3) Clean contacts
4) Uninstall drivers (does not matter although because the problem is at BIOS POST)
5) Change PSU wires cause it's modular
6) Remove all other PCI(E) cards
7) Updated BIOS to the latest version

My system
Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 Rev1.1
Sapphire AMD Radeon RX6700 10GB Pulse
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 RAM CMK16GX4M2D3600C18
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 100-100000065BOX
PSU both Corsair CX750M and a CoolerMaster MWE Gold V2 850W
