Bios for G759

blindguardian

Hello,

Does anyone have a link to the current BIOS for the G759?

My current bios is the 3.30.MS02 for the x870 Pro-A wifi motherboard.

I posted 4.03 on Powerspec.com: https://powerspec.com/product/700441

It doesn't work. It sees the usb drive and bios but stops at 0% and leaves version 3.5 bios every time even when I disabled TPM and AMD ftpm in bios.

Is that official Powerspec 4.03 bios or the bios from the ASROCK website?

It's the same BIOS customized for us. Currently being used on the G762. Does it reboot then sit at 0%?

No issue on my side. System sits at 0% momentarily, then reboots and starts the flash process. Please describe what you're seeing explicitly.

stays at 0% for a few seconds. Then reboots to bios and says updating the bios and 5 seconds later boots to windows and never updates the bios. Go search reddit and you will see other people who can't update bios to 4.03 with powerspec g759.

Should I try doing it with the button in the back with my computer off? is the only difference with the bios from asrock that it boots up saying asrock instead of powerspec?

You can try. We customize the splash and a few settings. Mainly disabling their driver update utility.

I finally got it to upgrade to 4.03 plugging the usb drive into the usb socket on the back with the square and renaming the 4.03 firmware update to creative.rom lower case. The button was supposed to blink when I pushed in the button for 7 seconds, but never blinked at all the whole time it was updating. I knew something was happening because the light on my usb drive was blinking for a while so I knew it was reading the firmware. I waited 10 minutes and rebooted my computer and the bios showed 4.03 with powerspec showing on booting up.

Very strange, I'm able to update in the lab. ASRock couldn't replicate an issue on their side either.

4.03 all of a sudden works in instant flash now after I reverted back to 3.5. I have found a horrible problem with firmware 4.03. After you update to 4.03 when your computer goes into sleep mode my nvme D drive disappears and won't show up again until I reboot the system. Using the disk management software does not find it when I refresh and only a reboot fixes it. I have verified this 100 percent. I put the samsung 990 in the pci 4 spot and put a 9100 in the gen 5 spot. I reverted back to 3.5 and sleep mode does not cause the D drive to be missing anymore. I tried reinstalling the 4.03 firmware and as soon as I did the sleep mode caused the d drive to disappear. I went back to 3.5 and it fixed it again. It is a terrible bug if you have an nvme drive as your d drive. Your computer only come with one nvme drive so you never see this bug until you have 2 nvme drives installed.

I found a way worse bug with bios 4.03. It 100% of the time when the computer goes into sleep mode causes the nvme D: drive to disappear until you reboot the system. At first I thought a windows update caused it, but doing a system restore didn't fix it. The fix was to revert back to bios version 3.5 which works perfectly with sleep mode.

AI Overview The issue of a D: drive disappearing after sleep mode following a BIOS update (such as to 4.03 on a G759-related system) is a known issue generally related to power management settings, where the drive fails to wake up in time or power is cut to it, causing it to disappear from the BIOS and Windows.

I asked AI and this happens with me 100% of the time when using sleep mode with bios 4.03 and reverting back to 3.5 fixes the sleep mode problem. I also couldn't fix it my sleep settings for the hard drive to never under sleep setting, setting the usb to selective suspend setting to disabled and setting the PCI express link state power management to off. None of those things worked with sleep settings for my d: drive to be seen after sleep mode was engaged.
