ASRock has posted VBIOS firmware version 1.0.6 for its Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards after owners reported that the previous version left some RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX cards unable to boot, Tom's Hardware reported. ASRock removed version 1.0.5 from its website.

The earlier release followed an AMD firmware patch addressing potential security vulnerabilities. Some affected owners recovered their cards using external EEPROM programmers. ASRock has not published a changelog or confirmed whether the replacement fixes the failures, leaving users unable to determine from the release whether the problem has been resolved.
