Updated to latest BIOS for my 13900K and Windows corrupted itself

[Atriox]

I updated my BIOS last night to have the latest BIOS and it was all working perfectly, better than it had been since I had the processor.

Now this evening I turned the PC on and it came on with constant Recovery messages saying that "Your PC/Device needs to be repaired".

The PC then kept turning itself off after about a minute, and it got to the point where there would no longer be any signal on my monitor. I tried plugging in a HDMI port to both the motherboard and GPU but it wouldn't be recognised.

I turned off the power for the PC entirely for about 20 seconds, and now after turning the PC back on, it has gone straight to windows like nothing was wrong.

I tried doing an SFC scan, chkdsk and DISM check but it doesn't seem to have picked anything up.

What should I do in the future and can I expect this to keep happening?

disable hibernate
powercfg -h off

I don't and never have used hibernate, should I still do this?

Unfortunately this is a bug. The way to get around it is to remove your graphics card and plug your display into your Intel graphics. Update your PC then, when finished, install your graphics card once again.

I wish I could explain more but I just know the fix.

What do you mean by update pc? Do you mean repair windows?

try to push the f8 button during startup. not sure if it still does something but, it helped me when i had trouble starting windows. select the option that is not start windows normally and that is not safemode. if it still works, you can select what to load and not to load. though truth be told have not tested it since windows 98.

Rma now. i Rma'd mine and they replaced it with the 14900k now volts are good tempetures are slightly down and the mhz are not jumping around like they were on my 13900k.also getting about 15fps more on average.i was also getting freezing on internet and desktop once in a while
has not done it once since the 14900k has been in.and they will offer cross shipping

It's on for everyone by default upon installing WinOS; yes disable it via CMD
Otherwise your OS always use RAM Cache when Rebooting/Shutting down.

When you updated the BIOS; some settings may have been reset (if not all of them) or have changed based around changes to various options compared to options you had before. So be sure to double check all the BIOS options now too. As some settings can reflect how an OS sees hardware, or how it gets set (clock frequencies, timings, voltages, power offsets; etc.)

The CPU I have is a brand new one because I went through the RMA process in September

Is it best that I set the bios settings to default and then tweak it to how I want it after I know it works?

Ok so I had the issue again and attempted to repair windows, but it didn't find anything wrong with windows.

Instead I reset the CMOS, which put me into panic mode for a good 5 minutes because my PC would no longer post...

I turned the power off at the wall for my PC and now it's all working properly again.

I hope this sticks this time.

the bios may some times fail to start. i had that issue on my HP. it fixed itself. windows 11 is the first windows version that automatically updates the bios. updating the bios is not always safe.

Default may not be best if your OS was installed with some of those changed.

Either change it back to how it was for various features the OS is relying upon or just do a clean OS install after you get everything in the BIOS how you want.

Hopefully resetting my CMOS fixed that then
