ASRock has released an official statement addressing reports of issues involving its AM5 motherboards and the new AMD Ryzen 9000 processors.
Following growing concern from users and increased discussion on hardware communities such as Reddit, the Taiwanese manufacturer decided to respond publicly and clarify its position.

In response to these reports, we have implemented comprehensive internal reviews and rigorous verification processes. We have been working in seamless coordination with AMD continuously to further validate system performance across a wide range of hardware configurations, while optimizing BIOS and enhancing overall system stability.

— ASRock
The company confirmed that it is actively monitoring reports related to Ryzen 9000 behavior on its platforms. ASRock has launched an internal investigation, although it has not shared specific technical details yet, likely because the analysis is still ongoing.
While these reports have raised some concern in the hardware community, system integrators such as Puget Systems have pointed out that AMD CPU failure rates remain very low, at around 2.5% overall. However, the fact that all reported cases appear to involve ASRock motherboards is something that is being taken seriously.
ASRock strongly advises users who experience system instability or failures to contact its Technical Support team as soon as possible.
