I was able to flash my motherboard BIOS to the latest beta which was released in 2014. As all of you know this is a rush. Now if the computer shuts off unexpectedly I can eliminate a crucial component as the culprit. Let's hope I can test it out with a new build tomorrow.
I also switched to Ryzen last year, but my experiences have been better, not worse. My Ryzen processor uses a lot less electricity, gives me way more power and costs less than half as much. I will NEVER go back to Intel. They have been screwing over the end user for decades. Now that AMD has a foot in their ass, Intel is forced to make better deals for all of us. That alone is worth supporting AMD, but there are a whole host of other reasons as well.
All the rest of the BIOS's were from 2012. I will buy a Ryzen system as an upgrade but if I can avoid a trip to the shop and just buy a network card, which my wife can install, I'm acturally good for the time being. As far as Intel v AMD I fully agree with @smactilactus.
