# ASRock Fixes Radeon RX 7900 Boot Issues

November 10, 2026 at 04:18 PM

> ASRock has released VBIOS update 1.0.6 to resolve critical boot failures affecting Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX graphics cards.

ASRock has released VBIOS update 1.0.6 for its Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX graphics cards to address critical boot issues. Dated November 6 and published November 10, 2026, this ASRVBFlash 1.0.6 package follows reports of GPUs failing to POST after a previous update.

The earlier firmware, version 1.0.5, was released on October 29 as part of a security rollout for ten models across the Phantom Gaming and Taichi series. ASRock pulled that version after users reported systems only booted normally once the GPUs were removed.

While ASRock has not explained the cause of the failures or explicitly confirmed this fix targets bricked units, the 1.0.6 release is the primary response to the faulty October rollout. Users of affected RX 7000 series cards should check the support page.
