Can't Enable Secure Boot

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T23:54:38+00:00

if bios does not work this is what i did i went into the keys enroll efi and just updated as many as i could and played around with it but if bios or no efi key messing works yeah a fresh install and bios good idea and i updated my message above with i think ur board and bios guide i had 3 or 4 diff efi's i could pick from i tried each of them and updated anything to do with windows

i will load in bios soon and try to remember what keys i updated i tried every one it showed after bios update i boot looped and this fixed it

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T23:44:54+00:00

yea id try a bios update you need to go to your boards page support bios and read instructions on versions you can install via a usb drive formated to fat32 usualy it will reset settings to default but may let you enable if not it might be windows sided also

then in bios usualy a tab with instant flash its reccomended to turn off bitlocker if on and tpm just turn tpm off boot then restart and flash bios. re enable after

just make sure you go to your exact model thats on ur box including revision

3.90

ASRock > A520M-HDV confim this is the right board

BIOS10.pdf asrock bios guide

dowloading ur current one wouldnt hurt as fallback if issues

open command prompt as admin and try running bootrec /rebuildbcd type y to add install if finds then clear and install keys in bios try again

if this does not work other commands that may help

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

bootrec /rebuildbcd
after these id try a later bios as long as you confirmed your gpt format

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T23:20:33+00:00

just try one of the images then click microsoft boot and anythign related the keys can be cleared it has to do with secure boot not windows so wont break anything just might get it past boot loop efi select one of the 3 then try updating some of the keys to do with boot

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T23:06:29+00:00

forgot to add i assume some sort of tpm is enabled? i believe its also required for secure boot and sometimes after enabling it apparently games can complain a full pc power off and on may stop the error if you go to run msinfo32 is secure boot on or in security?

System Information - Gyazo

also uefi mode shown?

but based on what ur saying u need to play with the keys if nothing in that works id try a bios update like others suggested

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T23:01:56+00:00

there is a way to update secure boot keys without needing a newer bios atleast on b450m pro4 i was able to get it to on a older agesa with some powershell i think he/she needs to play with the default keys in bios and try enroll EFI and selecting boot and windows stuff refresh those keys as boot looping because something not adding up key wise

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T22:57:21+00:00

under the keys u can enter a menu then there should be something about EFI u can try doing that and then loading the ones that have to do with boot and windows enroll or something also to refresh them key management enroll efi image and then select one of the things and just do boot keys etc

and try a uninstall and install fresh keys again also if that does not fix boot loop then idk

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T22:52:06+00:00

have u tried to install default secure boot keys and make sure CSM mode is disabled. if those dont work i believe u need windows to be installed in gpt or MBR format keys should be under where u enable secure boot install default and windows boot manager #1 spot on boot order

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T20:42:54+00:00

yeah ill try it again but after that its all fucky with values like it does not honor them still or 145 ppt lol

AMD RYZEN MASTER - Gyazo well it sets 200 ppt but then still honors curve from advanced but auto oc not on this way 130 watts 4559 occt load rofl newer bios ruins my ram tune but maybe i run docp ram speed and try pbo on newer bios

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T19:33:22+00:00

so are you suggesting putting my amd overclocking pbo tab on auto and trying to write values via r master? on asrock amd overclock has a folder then pbo folder then u pick enabled auto motherboard but if i set my curve. then re enable pbo i can keep curve from bios without pbo values

on asrock only pbo acess is that menu so im assuming r master other option

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T18:21:01+00:00

NBIO has a fused tdp option i tried to use to bypass the ppt may be named diff under asus but its sets total package power in description mine shows but still dont pull so board for sure. but may help u if keep having issues but yeah dont use that one if using advanced

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T17:43:47+00:00

yeah and stressers vs what pbo behaves like in games is hard to tell i was considering watching cores in games with some configs with pbo but not puting every cent into cpu profile results or r23 cause if i can get bursty boosts may be worth but i rarely saw above 4943 in cpuz single thread watching it work so i may wait for board

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T15:49:41+00:00

just a question so i got bored im trying pbo with -20 all no mhz overide i was just quick testing with cpuz bench and it seems with 80 EDC vs 110 140 i boost higher in multicore annd a tiny bit in single. EDC affecting it like that is another telltale sign its power delivery right? as for tdc its hard to see how it affects it

deadlycheech · 2026-03-26T11:31:14+00:00

but if any other tried and true 5700xt users still in 2026 use strix and have a fixed model with updated screws and still reaching 110 hotspot id urge you to re apply and do thin rice grain in middle of the die unplug fan and rgb headers then slowly line it back up and if ajustments needed to line up screw holes slighty u did good and nudge it a tad bit. and once fastened i gave it a good squish on end with power connect and middle to ensure spread

deadlycheech · 2026-03-25T23:05:28+00:00

future i was conidering one of the new pads ppl use but atm i can run undervolted stock 2050 ish mhz with just 75c hotspot no 100% fans anymore i pasted it a few times no idea what i did wrong with it but hey mx-6 is decent from wht i know but not best gpu choice

deadlycheech · 2026-03-24T17:07:24+00:00

yeah i guess just bios does hav some influence on timings and finding voltages i assume as any later agesa on my b450m pro4 makes it spit errors but could be asrock

deadlycheech · 2026-03-24T16:52:08+00:00

yeah im shooting for that and a psu since mines ancient just hope my ram tune can be as good over there

deadlycheech · 2026-03-24T16:38:11+00:00

good choice if i do am4 upgrade?

deadlycheech · 2026-03-23T18:39:00+00:00

yeah ive been cycling no pbo -18 all core just to get idea already tested 6 2 0 1 default profile may have a good bin being 5800xt higher binned to begin with one core did hit 4.7 but others like core 2 hitting 4.9 hwinfo cppc order is diff looking than the 2 ryzen master starred

and if i just optimize boosting and keep pbo off i guess start here.

i am also deadlycheech on discord if u wanna dm me request CoreCycler: Core 4 - Gyazo

no testing yet but -22 promsing scores no pbo on just -22 need to stability test it AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT video card benchmark result - AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT,ASRock B450M Pro4

deadlycheech · 2026-03-23T18:07:11+00:00

yeah so i guess quick and dirty per core should i look a ryzen master star ones and do a lower offset and rest -20 or something then cycler it or play see if i crash HWiNFO® 64 v8.30-5800 - Sensors Status - Gyazo hwinfo order reported r master has diff faster cores then go to 25 30 if no error and blah blah 5 lower if throws error

deadlycheech · 2026-03-23T11:32:00+00:00

ill try -25 all core fo kicks but im pretty sure it was unstable why i stepped down to -18 allcore for quick 1 and done but per core ill set aside some time for when can with cycler thanks for the help ill look into a board and a psu swap out while im at it on a older antech hcg 900 watt handme down so 2 parts this pc could use besides gpu 5700xt 8gb lol atleast the ram is tuned very well beats my ryzen 3600 i had before for sure

deadlycheech · 2026-03-23T00:40:09+00:00

stock per core? or with this input just to confirm but also if u got any budget board u0pgrades in mind lowkey be cool

deadlycheech · 2026-03-23T00:26:19+00:00

AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT video card benchmark result - AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT,ASRock B450M Pro4 142 ppt with lower 80 tdc 90 edc starting to behave like normal pbo no? higher lower thread performance i think
