Review on ๐Ÿ’ป MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries Motherboard (AMD AM4, DDR4, PCIe 4.0, SATA 6Gb/s, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, Wi-Fi, DisplayPort, Micro-ATX) by Jeff Drollinger

I really can't trust the MSI B550 line of mobile devices anymore.

This is my second PC build and it was very difficult to work with. Included was a manual which was literally a diagram with little to no verbal instructions. How the heck do these manufacturers expect you to put together a PC build with a build guide littered with DIAGRAM and NOTHING ELSE useful! Somebody make sense of it. hard to turn. It's also been mentioned a few times in other people's reviews of Revain and Newegg, but I'd like to reiterate to customers trying to buy this board for their build that some people have had motherboards in continuous boot mode. Loops when trying to install your operating system on your assembly. I got around this by updating the BIOS to the latest version via USB at the time of writing this (01/26/2021). However, Mobo was still giving me problems even after updating the BIOS and after installing Windows 10 on my build. The computer randomly turned off when installing multiple programs and launching games from Steam. One last note, you can still ignore my advice and buy this motherboard, but for people trying to get a good value B550 motherboard for their build. , it is in your absolute BEST interest to look elsewhere (preferably another mobile manufacturer, NOT MSI). I am taking care of the return of this defective phone myself and I am very sorry for trusting MSI products.
