ASRock releases new firmware after previous update bricked RX 7900 graphics cards

ASRock has silently released a new firmware update following a previous release that caused issues for some Radeon RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX graphics cards. The company has not yet provided a changelog or detailed information regarding the new update.

ASRock rolled out a new VBIOS version 1.0.6 update for its Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards after a previous 1.0.5 release reportedly bricked some Radeon RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX units. While the problematic older update has been removed from the website, ASRock has not yet explained the cause of the failures or detailed what the new update fixes. The situation has left affected users uncertain about warranty coverage and whether the new firmware is safe to install. Conflicting reports from different regions regarding warranty support and the complete lack of an official changelog mean customers are left waiting for clear guidance from the company.
