Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Bios update?

[InternetOwl]

Do you believe ASUS is releasing a new BIOS in 2020?

No. I assume there will be future updates PAST the dumpster fire of 2020. That was the point.

An update on my EZ Flashback woes:

It transpires my motherboard did not like the Sandisk ultra 16Gb USB stick I was using (for reasons unknown) as when I tried another USB stick (laughably also another Sandisk Ultra but 64Gb) the process worked flawlessly. And yes I had the BIOS renamed, in the root directory of the drive which was formatted as FAT32 etc. etc.

So I'm back on 2606 until such time as Asus sort their crappy BIOS updates out.

Too generalized statement! The fact that we know just of two failed cases as opposed to so many successful flashes (including me) does not make the BIOS "borked". Ironically, nobody complained of such issues with the "beta" BIOSes.

On the other hand. most probably, I would have been absolutely pissed in your place so your reaction is understandable. Hopefully. somebody from ASUS will take note.

It's closer to 15 confirmed cases if you count the Reddit posts with the same issue; Although it's probably way more as there are a lot of people who do not post about the issue.

Anyway, you're right, I was pissed, mainly because my first thought was the update killed my GPU, which as you can understand would be terrible given it's next to impossible to get a new GPU right now (let alone get one for a reasonable price!)

My PC won't post with the 3001 BIOS, I did some test and it looks like it's because of my sound card, a shame...

I saw someone write in this thread that they even removed the battery from the mobo, I did that and also removed my Sound Blaster AE-9 and then flashed with the USB key, after that I restarted the PC and I did get the "update led firmware" and "updating bios", started Windows.
After that I pluged in the sound card and restarted, it got stuck on a black screen, fans spinning, led were on but the white Q LED stayed and the Q code only reads 96.
That's about it

Might help some. Try the following soc/vddg/vddp voltages. Works for me

SOC Voltage 1.06
VDDG CCD Voltage 0.940
VDDG IOD Voltage 0.980
cLDO VDDP Voltage 0.900

Then your MB isnt the problem your sound card is. its time for a new soundcard.

Just for the record, I am with Sound Blaster AE-7 (not 9 but still close) and I don't have any issues.

However, concluding that the sound card is faulty wouldn't be that wise. If it is running fine with an older BIOS on the same mobo, and the same hardware then the problem is not in the sound card but related to compatibility. No wonder that the BIOS version has jumped from 2zxx to 3xxx. Maybe they will fix this compatibility issue in one of the next versions.

He can also try to plug the sound card in a different PCIE slot X1 or x16. And does he have the 6 pin connected to the sound card and what PSU is he using?
q-code 96=PCI Bus Assign Resources

When you search on the internet "Asus q code 96" many say its a faulty MB. Plug the sound card in a different PCIE slot and see if this fix the problem. Before unplugging the sound card 1st uninstall the drivers for the sound card.

Also people on the internet say its a faulty display port cable.
