Can I ask how you did the firmware update tool ?

Just used Qflash? Sorry if I'm not getting your question??

Put the drive in first, then see if you end up with the same issue.

Good point, definitely getting further but stuck in a reboot loop, wonder if boot drive order is duff...?

Ah ha, we have windows! (Was just the boot order had got mixed up with bios updates)

Now I can see if this day's worth of faffing has had any effect on the fact my monitors weren't coming out of sleep mode.......... Slim chance I think!

Yes, left CSM on and seems to work fine now - motoring along!

In the description on f40 bios it states you need to update the firmware using an update tool to avoid 4 dimm incompatibility on the motherboard.

I asked @Journey about it earlier

Oh sorry - got you now, Journey came back further up the thread to say I didn't need to with my CPU. So I ignored this step!

I'm using a Ryzen 1700X?

Hey, I'm stuck with the same problem with my GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 =/ went from BIOS F42d to F51l and now I'm stuck at the splash screen and nothing works, tried removing all HD/SSD, removing the battery for 10 minutes, even removed the M2 drive aswel but no success

Ryzen 5 3600
RTX 3070
2x8GB RAM

Well have you tried kicking it yet??

Just to be really clear, have you tried stepping up the firmware one at a time? I tried to 'jump' firmware to the latest version initially and had exactly this problem, it was when I downloaded each bios update and tried.upgrading one at a time that it worked - pretty laborious, but did the trick....!
