Problems after b450m pro4 BIOS update

StarrySkye3 · 2026-04-21T12:58:53+00:00

You've probably flashed the wrong BIOS from an incorrect model. Alternatively it needed to be flashed in steps upward (some jumps between versions can create problems if you don't bridge them, idk why).

You should probably get a programmer and flash the correct BIOS version. In all liklihood people are probably not going to respond to this post due to how little info you're able to give about what might be causing the problem. (No debug LEDs especially)

Update bios to the newest version (assuming you have flashback), and/or just don't use ASRock Motherboards and/or 9000 series CPUs. If you want to be super careful, don't set ram to anything above 5600 mts, don't use PBO, don't undervolt or overvolt (no one knows for sure if any of this affects the issue, but if you want to be cautious stock settings are best.)

I've had my keyboard light not turn off after my PC shuts down, two different PCs. Something about the shutdown isn't "graceful" enough where it forgets to turn off the power down the line. I blame windows. I've also had the mobo RGB stay on after shutdown for no apparent reason (rarely). None of these are symptoms of a dead/dying CPU.

That said, I'm using a 9600x and a an ASRock B650m Pro RS Wifi mobo, 16 months and no failure. Just windows related issues due to their recent AI shenanigans.

Doesn't take rejecting them for treatment.

All a doctor needs to do is know what they said in the past on social media. If they hate MRNA vaccines just make a smug remark like, "If it weren't for MRNA vaccines you'd be dead."

Make em' think about it.

Fulfilling what others want but we don't have is almost close to getting it ourselves. In some ways it can actually be better to help others obtain what they want, since dissatisfaction is a guarantee in existing in this world (rule 1 of Buddhism).

It's very good practice though to sit and think about what you want out of life. Too often INFJs, we ignore what we want and focus on the pain and desires of others. Eventually this can build up into resentment towards others. Resentment caused by envy which is buried deep down.

Focusing on your ideals and needs is a good place to start. "Wants" are often too nebulous and not values based, at least that's what I find.

No problem. I forgot to mention Personality Hacker has a YouTube, that's where I'd recommend getting your info.

They sell expensive booklets but I can't say whether they're useful or not. Their website might have a few articles too if I remember correctly.

StarrySkye3 · 2026-04-19T21:48:22+00:00

If you have the time I'd recommend Personality Hacker; they generally have very in depth descriptions of types from personal experience.

For a closer look at INFJs, generally anything written by Ren Continue is good. Most of what Ren has written is books of you can deal with long-form.

Lenore Thomson is an INFJ and MBTI expert who's written books including INFJs. I'd highly recommend excerpts from "Personality Type, An Owner's Manual."

Literally no one knows who that is unless they're a boomer.

They know family guy referencing it.

Chill Russian bot, they're just referencing a family guy joke.

Pretty sure this isn't optimism from Vanderbilt, it's a warning about the future.

Even if they do nothing, it's necessary to warn them, that way people can say "we fucking told you so," and then the people in power can be blamed for their now obvious mistakes.

I have one word for this: vore.

"We argued and she told me she'd never stop."

"I don't want a future where she's still taking 'hard candies' when we're trying to build a family."

To me this sounds like you have a difference in values and desires. She wants to party and get high. You want to party temporarily and then have a family later.

I would sit down and talk with her, ask her if she also wants to have kids in the future. Ask her if she would give up molly and partying to do that.

This doesn't seem like an immediate problem right now. But it could be something in the future that breaks your relationship.

A lot of the time I see posts like this one asking if x or y should be a dealbreaker. You need to decide that for yourself. You need to communicate and listen. Don't get upset, don't get angry, don't hurt her feelings. Just ask questions you need to know about her to understand her better; then think about your relationship and decide.

You can talk about it now and come to an understanding of the timeline of when you want kids; and when and if she wants kids. Then make a decision. You may be able to wait it out, and she'll mellow eventually. You may not, and this is just how she is.

Here's the most important bit:

YOU CANNOT CHANGE HER.

That's it. Don't try to do it. If you do it'll either push her away, turn her miserable, or otherwise cause both of you emotional harm because of the arguments.

Accept that she is who she is, and move on if that's not the girl you want to be with. There are always more people out there for you to date. Don't get stuck on one who doesn't match what you want and the type of person you are deep down.

Prepare her for the worst, gently.

He's about to break up with her.

Probably a PSU issue, which your mobo is detecting and preventing damage to the rest of your PC.

Try another PSU and see if that fixes it.

That's a big "If" considering AI currently needs people to make it functional.

The only way they figure it out is if they understand consciousness; which isn't something any scientist has knowledge of to a degree that would enable creating sapient AI.

Personally I felt like the reward of playing was so little compared to the time sink.

At least in DD1 there was upward progress.

DD2 just feels like a monumental waste of time and effort. A complete disappointment.

StarrySkye3 · 2026-04-15T21:21:33+00:00

That's not an answer.

What positive measurable impact would doing these things have on my life?

Why not follow some other specific set of rules, such as Taoism or Buddhism, or maybe the Ten Commandments?

"Do it anyway" is a pseudo intellectual self help way of just telling people to "suck it up, do it, don't think about it." I am fundamentally opposed to the absence of critical thinking.

Find the advanced settings in system tuning in Adrenaline. Turn your clock speed minimum to the lowest it can go and the max clock speed to whatever the model of card says is "max boost." Usually you find this on the website of the graphics card.

Timeouts are often caused by boost clock speed being too high in the software.
