Hey guys,
As some of you probably know, MSI recently released the update 7E12v18 for the X670E Tomahawk Wifi, which updates AGESA and significantly shortens boot times with "Memory context restore" enabled.
So far so good, the boot times have improved drastically for me, before I had a post of 60 seconds, now less than 2 seconds! Yay!
However, I have now encountered another new problem.
I have 3 PCIe expansion cards, a 2080 Super, a Mellanox Connect-X3 10 GBit/s NIC and an Elgato 4k60 Pro Mk.2 capture card.
Before the BIOS update, everything worked perfectly. Now, with activated "memory context restore" in the latest BIOS version and the short boot times, the Elgato Capture Card is constantly missing in the system.
Only a warm reboot helps. But that's where it gets interesting:
- Cold boot -> card is not present in Windows
- Warm boot -> card is present
- Hibernate & start -> card is not present
- Sleep & start -> card is not present
- Cold start, but first into BIOS, then warm restart without changes -> card is present
What was tried:
- CMOS reset -> without success
- Capture Card tested in other PCIe slots -> without success, the error moves with the card, it is not due to the PCIe slot
- With every warm boot, the card is present and functional again
- Delay post with 3 Seconds "fake" post duration (this is an option on some boards...!) -> The BIOS of the X670E does not have that option - at least I couldn't find it.
My thoughts:
I think that the Elgato capture card has a firmware that doesn't start as fast as the PC starts from shutdown/hibernate/sleep, because it apparently does not get recognized.
Now that I'm happy not having a space rocket launching (GPU fans on 100% for 60 seconds) while booting my PC with the old, long boot times, I have a reproducible error with one of my PCIe cards.
Is anyone else having this issue with the new BIOS Update?
Is this a case for MSI to "artificially extend" boot times to give the PCIe cards a chance to initialize?
Or implement the "fake" post delay, where one can set a duration from 0 to 10 seconds delay in BIOS?
I'd appreciate every thought and suggestion of you guys.
Here is a summary of the data:
MB: X670E Tomahawk Wifi
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3D
RAM: 2 x Kingson DDR5-6000 32 GB RAM (HCL compatible) with A-XMP enabled for 6000 MHz
BIOS: 7E12v18
OS: Windows 10 x64 Pro
Thank You!
