New Build bootup issues

[pp05]

Not tried that before and if I had to guess I would say no.

Loosing files is related to upgrading the existing Windows. You are installing a fresh Windows on a blank drive with no existing data on it or any other drive connected to the computer, right ?¿

Yes that's correct, I would be doing it from usb drive onto 1 ssd connected for simplicity. (I'd delete existing os partititions and let windows 10 setup the drive again). If this doesn't work I might just send back apu for a 1200 and pair it with the nvidia.

Update: A reinstall of Windows 10 along with monitor swap seems to have sorted freezing issue as well as audio. In the end I got 3.5mm audio cable and hooked monitor via vga-to-hdmi.

All looked well.. Manually set cpu clock to 3.7ghz. It showed up in Ryzen Master. Installed AMD radeon drivers. Then I updated BIOS to the latest.

One thing I noticed after bios update is that within Ryzen Master iGPU starts at 400mhz. CPU goes down to 1.6ghz and boosts up to 3.5ghz as and when needed. Where as before it just showed 3.7ghz. Is this normal for 2200G. GPU freq is on auto as is Voltages in bios. Should I manually specify 1100MHZ.

After updating the BIOS did you reset the CMOS and load 'optimised defaults', or whatever it is called on MSI motherboards?

I didn't load optimised defaults. I'm not sure my board has that. It's an AsRock B450 board.

After updating BIOS and confirming it by booting into it, I cleared CMOS. It had already set everything back to default values. So DDR4 back to 2133, cpu back to auto / 3500. Before updating I hadn't reset to default. But again it was just cpu that was manually set to 3700. Ram on XMP profile. That's it.

So I just selected xmp profile again for ram to put back to run at 3200.

Have you gone into power settings in Windows 10 and chosen the AMD power plan? That should sort your cpu speed

I haven't. Is that recommended for AM4 cpu?

Thus far I've only been observing through Ryzen Master t confirm my bios matches up.

Its the power plan that gets installed when you install the AMD drivers. It was recommended if you use a Ryzen processor

I'll look into that. Thanks

The system functions well, I'm not gaming on it yet. Just understanding the numbers etc. and making sure it seems normal.

I checked power plan, it says balanced. I assume this is the AMD plan although it doesn't say it by name.

AsRock Fatal1ty B450 itx motherboard.

I have the same mobo, had similar issues, cant remember where I got the driver from but the one I'm using is Realtek_Audio(v8750.1_UAD_WHQL_SBC5)... works great.
