How were those mods created ? It is my understanding that in a UEFI bios all modules are digitally signed from the mb builder and verified at boot, so to prevent tampering and grant a secure boot. Did someone leak an old private key or did anyone discover a way to safely disable this check ?

I think the only time the BIOS signature is checked is when flashing it. I haven't looked into it though. Flashing it with AMI's tools (and possibly BIOS Flashback) instead of the built-in feature allows you to flash it anyway. As far as I know, none of the UEFI drivers included are modified, so the signature of those are by themselves intact. Concerning the code that is actually modifed, I don't think that was necessarily signature checked as part of the boot process anyway (it's basically just the UEFI UI code) so it probably doesn't affect Secure Boot.

Yes, I'm on MSI, but I think our BIOS's are similar. I'm pretty sure you have the CBS and PBS menus by default.

See this post for my BIOS settings.

MSI MEG X570S Unify-X MAX [OC & Discussion]

The MSI MEG X570S UNIFY-X MAX has arrived. Feel free to discuss your OC and experience with the board as I share my own initial takes as I got my hands on one. To start I'll attach some pictures of the board and then see what I can get it to do with a Ryzen 3800X & Crucial Ballistix Max...

Thank you but unfortunately these BIOS are unsigned and I cant use Asus Flash, I have to do it via FlashBack and dont like that.

Why not Flashback? I have done it numerous times as I have several boards with Flashback, it just works

There is a THREAD on the ROG forum that is now 57 pages long about this exact problem. Some say its seems to be related to BIOS 4006 and 4201. Others say it has nothing to do with Bios version. The thread started in July 2021 so its been happening for almost a year. Asus has acknowledged that its a hardware problem that requires sending the mobo back to be fixed or replaced with a refurbed mobo. The thread is about the Dark Hero but other models, including the Hero have been reported.

FWIW - I have a 5950X on a Dark Hero and have run every BIOS from 2002 to 4201 and have never had this problem. I don't know how widespread it is, but at least enough for there to be a 57 page long thread about it. I am praying that my mobo does not start doing this.

Yes, I wrote the title on the Asus Forums too. Asus official in Taiwan contacted me and I will send my Motherboard to RMA. This problem occurred after 4201 BIOS installation. And it keeps repeating. It persists even if I revert to the old BIOS. It's not improving.

I applied for the RMA and plan to ship the motherboard this week.
I hope your motherboard doesn't have this problem. Because it's all up to chance.

I will tell you that, I had to format my PC after flashing 4201 and messing around CO and Ryzen master, my PC started throwing random blue screens quite constant just getting it to boot was a painnnnn. Also tried reverting back to 3801 but the issue persisted, did absolutely everything cleared CMOS, reseated ram, GPU, clean the PC and all that crap and didn't work lol. So I finally decided to flash 4201 back, entered all settings manually and did a clean windows 11 install. And for some reason problem solved, lol. Only one weird reboot in more than a month but I think it was some driver issue because I was messing around with some Logitech driver.

Frankly, I don't trust the 4201 BIOS and the previous 4006 BIOS. Because there are people who have a lot of problems with those BIOSes. After I installed the BIOS 4201, the startup problem that I mentioned arose. The problem persists even if I revert to the old BIOS. But most importantly ASUS said it's a hardware issue and recalled the motherboards to RMA. That's why I'm sending the motherboard to RMA.

Sounds likely it's hardware, as I have no problems with this generation of bios on three different motherboards. All three works just fine, with 5800X3D, 5900X and 5500.

The authorized person I spoke to on the Asus forum said it's hardware problem and I should send it to RMA. I will send my motherboard to RMA. I guess they will change.

Yes, this night was fresh with rain.
I opened all windows for the test.

Now windows are closed and I am back to 25°C in house.
