[SOLVED] Question about f42a bios

[andris.loiv]

Hey!

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-AB350M-HD3
Cpu: R5 2600x
I updated my BIOS to F42a, because I thought why the hell not. Turns out it's not as stable as it was. My pc literally black screened on me whilst I was playing, no it was not a temperature issue. And eventvwr says also "performance power management features on processor..." error. And I had a random bsod also, but that should be a software related issue. My question is, can I downgrade my bios to F41 or F40? Or can I not rollback?

Your motherboard has Dual Bios, that means you should be able to copy the backup BIOS over the primary BIOS. Do you know what BIOS you have running on the secondary?

No I do not, most likely one of the first ones that doesn't support ryzen 2000 series.. can I check what version it is somehow?

I believe you can check what version the backup BIOS is at either using @bios or inside the UEFI BIOS. At that point you can flash the secondary to the one that you would like as well.

Although I believe, that to get to F41 for instance, you need to go through many upgrades, otherwise it'll corrupt it?

You would have to look at the requirements of the BIOS to be able to determine how many jumps you can make at a time.

Alright, I'll check what the backup is, but can't I revert the current bios to F41/40? I'm just asking.

That I am not sure about. I have only ever copied my backup bios over my primary bios.
