Hello, so I have built this nice new Ryzen 5 9600X machine on ASRock A620M Pro RS and I intend to use it as my home server which I will connect to via RDP, so it will not have a monitor. The problem is when I power it on without monitor connected it beeps 5 times, then again once and boots. I can connect to it via RDP and I see weird problems in device manager:
microsoft basic display adapter has exclamation mark and says
This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
The driver trying to start is not the same as the driver for the POSTed display adapter.
if I connect HDMI cable to motherboard and power it up it does not protest with those 5 beeps and only beeps once and in windows this microsoft basic display adapter is just fine!
I have downloaded this huge almost 1GB package AMD graphics driver, but the installer says OS is incompatible. I have Windows Server 2022. So I tried just manually updating the driver of microsoft basic display adapter and pointed it to the drivers folder in the extracted package, but it said it still thinks the current driver is the best.
I have updated to latest BIOS and set to initialize internal graphics first. There is no discrete graphics card and I don't want another unnecessary heat source.

The other problem is few more devices with exclamation mark and I don't know what else should I install

some of it might be BlueTooth adapter, but which one?
The ASRock auto driver update utility did not find anything to update!
I tried installing AMD chipset driver but it says "some configuration is not compatible for RAID drivers or application installation", so is this just RAID drivers? According to release notes there is only compatibility with Windows 10 and 11, so am I out of luck with Windows Server 2022?
The same system was just fine on a previous motherboard AsRock H410M-HVS Micro ATX!

Uninstall the ASRock driver updater.

The AMD installer (which is obnoxious bloatware anyway) isn't compatible with Server 2022, but you can manually install all the drivers just fine.

Run the AMD chipset driver installer. It will tell you your system doesn't meet requirements, but it will still extract all the driver files to "C:\AMD\Chipset_Software\Packages\IODriver". Simply point to this location when searching for drivers for those devices with device manager, as well as for any SMBus controllers using generic drivers under 'system devices'.

If a device doesn't have drivers in that location, it's not something that the chipset driver would install drivers for and you need to point to the correct drivers for those devices.

To solve your POST issue (it's probably reverting to safe settings and not honoring all your UEFI changes because it doesn't detect a display), try using an HDMI dummy plug, so it thinks it has a display.

Jeez so you think it's possible this TDP to 105W settings might not be enabled this way??
I am trying to figure out if XMP1 profile 1 is active. In CPU-z I see memory frequency 3000, so that would be XMP1-6000 I suppose?

Not sure what settings would or would not be retained/overruled in a firmware safe boot type scenario, but you shouldn't be getting this double boot.

Five beeps usually means a "CPU error" on ASRock, so you definitely want to sort this out.

Unless you somehow have memory with a 6000MT/s SPD profile, that would make sense.[/QUOTE]

I have installed all those drivers pointing device manager into that folder as you told me. Then I have started it with monitor so it doesn't beep 5 times and it looks fine. The problem is now that resolution is 800x600 max and cannot be changed! Fortunately RDP is not limited by this resolution.
I ran GeekBench 6 but the score is quite bad! According to online tests it should be much higher.
single-core: 1967 multi-core: 10279
ASRock A620M Pro RS - Geekbench
What struck me is this line
Maximum Frequency3888 MHz
Why the heck just this? it's even lower then the base frequency.
Core temperature was 74°C max during the test...

So I just found that in the A-Tuning application when I switch it from standard mode to performance mode then all cores run on 5,4GHz regardless of load :eek:

I wonder what about that ASRock performance boost settings in BIOS? I didn't try it yet

Doesn't look like.

SPD settings for that memory are 4800MT/s CL40. So, to be running at 6000 it has to be using EXPO, which is normally not done automatically, implying at least some settings are being kept.

Granite Ridge (9000 series) is very new? What firmware version is your board using?

Yeah, that's not going to be fully stable and if the firmware is old there could be more serious problems with it.

I'm not exactly sure what that option changes, but I do know you shouldn't have to set it to get your system working normally.
