Thanks for the reply but im having issues on booting it only happens sometimes. When i boot it up it stay on black screen, it just sits there i turn it off and back on sometimes it does the same thing, other times it will boot right up. I guess if it dont work properly i can go back a version number....

I am really not sure but i guess its easier to update the bios and see if that fixes it.. Maybe a setting that they changed in bios will fix it, only thing i can do it try and see if that work, the crazy part is it does not do it all the time, so i am honestly not to sure, i do have tight timings then i loosened them up and it still does it, which leads me to think it could be a bios issue..

ok look i have had issue like this my pc boots up street to windows logon screen can't really see bios logo at all some times it does show the logo normally that is caused by my monitor Odyssey G7 it takes a few seconds more than normal to be fully awake but sometimes your gpu could cause this that's why nvidia issued update to displayPort https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nv-uefi-update-x64/
anyway you could just reset your bios to optimized defaults first and see what happens

This is the AGESA v2 1.2.0.8 update. Supposed to fix some high-severity security exploit found on Ryzen. You should flash this, if you have the chance. Just backup your settings beforehand.
