You sound like me, most hiccups on PC hardware happen because of Windows, tweaking it is a must.

Running a stripped out tweaked W10 and its super stable, super low DPC latency (perfect for DAW's/Gaming) all with full Windows security, Windows store and able to get latest security updates.

Its like night and day compared to a full fat windows experience lol
I really have zero problems with Windows (see sig)..;) The problem I had that I related in that post was with the Gigabyte update software program that comes with the motherboard, which I stopped using years ago for the reasons I stated in that post. Also, I tried the whole disabling services thing years ago and stopped after discovering it really didn't do me any benefit and wasn't worth the trouble. It was much easier to just buy more ram. If you enjoy doing it, however, that's great...;)

I was just looking at your signature and I have to ask what are you using all the storage for?

Fair play, you make a good point tbh, I don't go wild as I used to but I do enjoy a good ol tinker, I like a nice minimal Windows experience lol, the results are massively noticeable especially in things like DPC calls, all of which means zero pops and clicks etc when recording.

Thought that might be the case.

So if I upgrade to the latest stable version (F36 on the Elite) and there's any issues, can i simply flash back to F21 inside the BIOS?

Not quite sure how this capsule BIOS support works!
AFAIR - actually capsulated BIOS should prevent downgrade to a BIOS before the 1st caspulated one....correct me if I am wrong...

...;) I've been asked this before...;) Well, I have something like 400 games installed, and I don't know how many programs/utilities/drivers of various kinds installed. Bear in mind that this is a system I've been growing for many years...things pile up, and I'm kind of a pack rat about my software. I've got some 30-year-old games I liked a lot that still run great, glad to say. The hard drives have simply been carried over from one upgrade to the next, and I've added to them when sales pop up. But now, my Sata3 ports are full, so if I do it again I won't be buying another S3 hard drive...;) I'm thinking about buying a 10GB or 20GB hard drive to replace these accumulated hard drives, but so far I'm still thinking as the hard drives listed here have posed no problems and are still robust--no errors so far. I make good use of drive partitions, too, as if something happens I'd prefer losing just a partition as opposed to an entire drive, etc. So far, so good--only drive incident I've ever had is with the Aoemi partitioning software I mention in the last posts. It cost me a partition but not an entire drive, fortunately.

Hi folks. I have an X570 Aorus Master running F36f bios. I also just upgraded to 64GB of RAM. Between these two things I'm having serious stability issues. I cannot install windows updates. Memtest passed with flying colors after 24 hours.

It seems for some reason the motherboard is refusing to change my VDDP mode to Auto. It's stuck on Manual, and seems to prefer a value of 1000. Is this the issue? If so, I'm assuming it's the BIOS I'm on. Would re-flashing help? Would a different version help? What's the general consensus of the best BIOS to try?

Thanks.

Edit: update: I flashed to f36c and all appeared fine until I enabled XMP. Then VDDP flipped back to manual at 1000. Ugh

Edit 2: all seems to work as long as I don't enable XMP. I'm pretty upset that gigabyte releases this kind of junk. My board is broken because they can't get their BIOS right. Bah. Any tips on the best version to run are still appreciated.

F34 is the last usable bios for me, with 64GB of ram (4X16GB 3200CL16), any newer bios and the board will boot once with XMP and then fail to post.

Very interesting. I'll try F34, thank you.

FWIW my RAM is 4x16 3600 18-22-22-42 (at XMP... 2400 MT/s currently :confused:)
Try to change the values manually, 4 sticks of ram is a lottery with AMD unless it is Samsung B-Die and the clock speeds are not higher than 3200 MHz.

Ok, update: F34 seems to have done the trick. fTPM also seems to have cleared during the update, so Windows 11 bricked my drive with no possible sign-in options :mad:, but otherwise after a fresh install, all is good. Running XMP no issues so far. I'll let you know if something else comes up.

Thanks so much for the help!

Thanks for this. I was having a hard time finding the issue because it would boot once just fine, then cause issues. But because it would work sometimes and not others it was tricky to recreate and isolate. This is exactly what was happening. Except mine would post the second time, just fail to load into windows.

I tried that and same result on F36f and F36c :(

My ram has hynix chips, not a stellar oc but not poor either. Hoping that lends to at least stable XMP with 4 sticks... We'll see. It's ok now on F34 at XMP for windows install and installing all my apps and games, and I know the memory is good after some long memtest runs at XMP. Ill have to give it some stress tests to call it good for sure though.
