Updating a BIOS on ASROCK

[paulwal]

Hi. I am not too up on installing BIOS so am looking for a little direction installing a BIOS update.
https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/AB350%...index.asp#BIOS

I have an ASROCK AB350 Pro4 that is running a P3.00 BIOS.
CPU is AMD Ryzen5 1500X which I believe is a "Summit Ridge."
Before I go ahead and update it to the latest version, I thought I would ask whether my plan is right to try and be sure I don't make a mess of things.
It appears that the latest BIOS for this chip is the 5.80; therefore I need to install (one at a time)…

1. BIOS 3.40, then
2. AMD all in 1 with VGA driver ver:18.50.16.01_WHQL, then
3. BIOS 5.40, then
4. BIOS 5.80

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Paul

Re: Updating a BIOS on ASROCK

That is seriously the most convoluted BIOS flashing process I have ever seen. It's almost easier to install a newer AM4 processor just so you can skip most of those steps.

Yes, your chip is Summit Ridge. Your order of installations looks correct.
