You have to update to F32 firstly, then F42b.
Also, update firstly the chipset driver to 18.50.16.01 or later version if you haven't so far.

update firstly the chipset driver to 18.50.16.01 what that means? driver update?

Yes, you can download the latest version from https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver-chipset

Basically download the latest AMD all in one chipset drivers. You can also grab them from AMD's website directly.

I recommend that you get the latest Chipset Driver and Ryzen Master Versions from here:

Update the chipset drivers first. Then update the BIOS. The chipset drivers will know how to handle older bios versions. The chipset drivers will then switch over to handle the new features after the BIOS is updated.

If it's a clean install, it shouldn't be an issue. The errors are usually a result of an OLDER chipset driver attempting something the newer BIOS would have issue with. But those features are typically not invoked till AFTER the driver install. So you are safe to first install BIOS, then add the AMD Driver chipset (latest version)
