I aim to use the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 as the CPU and the MSI X570-A PRO as the

However i was recently given the following information by an MSI user about
the MSI X570-A PRO :-
"See the following link :-

Sorry, the page you requested can't be found. You can go back and try
again, or start again at home.
according to the above link, the BIOS offered by MSI is
still Beta, not the final version of
AGESA 1.0.0.5
AGESA 1.0.0.6 is usually the final version that ends the cycle for every
Ryzen generation so its a reference
(this approach has been so for 1st and 2nd Ryzen generations) offering
stability regardless of using 2000 or
3000 series.
the BIOS should be flashed to AGESA 1.0.0.6 end of 2018 by the seller
before the computer is bought"
I have further been informed that the X570 board and Ryzen 3000 series came
out about the same time as
the stable release of Buster I.e. July 2019
As mentioned at the beginning of this email, various reports have convinced
me that the Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
will work okay with the stable release of Buster. But the MSI X570-A PRO
motherboard and its BIOS may have
a serious issue with Buster. Indeed the motherboard may fail to boot.
So I am rather concerned about the stability offered by the BIOS on the MSI
X570-A PRO motherboard.
So, you own a MSI X570-A PRO motherboard with 7C37vH84(Beta version)
firmware and an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor (?).

I would install Buster and see what happens. If it works to your
satisfaction, you are done.
If not, please reply with what you did and the results you obtained,
