    Question Windows has issues if I don't boot into BIOS first

    I've checked Windows Update and it says that I am completely up-to-date. I only have the free version, but whenever I run Driver Booster, it says that my drivers are up-to-date. I ran chkdsk in windows and it said "File system was checked, no problems found. No further actions required."

    Question Windows has issues if I don't boot into BIOS first

    I believe the MOBO is around 1.5 years old, so I guess that would make the CMOS battery around the same age.

    Question Windows has issues if I don't boot into BIOS first

    I'm having this extraordinarily strange issue with my PC. When I turn it on, it boots up seemingly fine, but then Windows only shows on my second monitor, and after a few minutes, it crashes to a BSOD with an error code of either IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL or SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. The weird...

    I don't want to ask you too much, so this is my last question, the asrock website says that one of the drivers I downloaded is a restart to the UEFI version 1.0.6. Does this mean that I'm also downloading outdated files? Should I only install the newest one?

    Do I have have to zip them to a usb and then do something in the uefi or is just downloading them enough?

    Should I just download all of the extra drivers and utilities from the motherboard website?

    Yeah sorry, I think I misinterpreted what i was updating with the Bios. I thought that it might help though because the rtx super cards are higher binned older rtx cards with faster Ram. So I thought that maybe updating it might help. I'll finish all the troubleshooting today.

    Yeah that's the thing, the beta bios said that it would fix any pcie connector problems.

    Thanks for all the tips, I only have the rtx 2060 super installed. I've installed the latest version of my mobo bios but it is a beta version. Should I install the newest normal bios? I went for the beta because it said that it would fix PCI connections. I'll try everything and see how it goes...

    Although, when I originally installed them, they were in a1 and a2 but then I saw that they were in the wrong place. It never booted with them in a1 and a2 but could that possibly be a problem
