Hello, my PC, built in 2017, features an ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 motherboard. Since I've been considering upgrading the system (a NVMe boot disk, more RAM, possibly overclocking the CPU...), the issue of BIOS/UEFI has come up. Namely, the BIOS version on my motherboard appears to be...

So I took a look at my bios settings, because why not, and I couldn't find CnQ. I'm currently on the latest (2.80) version, and the latest chipset drivers are also downloaded. Was it removed?

I need an NVidia chipset graphics card that can boot with a Legacy BIOS (CSM mode on a motherboard connected to an SSD that is formatted NTFS - MBR), AND ALSO UEFI bios. I found this old thread... https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/will-a-gt-1030-work-with-legacy-bios.3309781/ and in one...

The following error has been preventing me from updating Windows 10 through Windows Update for quite some time (maybe a year or so): "Unsupported Disk Layout for UEFI Firmware". I finally decided to give it a go and try solving it, and to do so, I used the MBR2GPT tool in order to turn my MBR...

Hello. I just bought a used HP Z640, and was in the initial stages of setting the device up at my home. I started by clearing the CMOS, and reverting any changes by the previous owner of the device in the firmware so I could set things up how I wanted them. I noticed that legacy support was...

Hello there. Recently I've moved house, the first time I turned my PC on it booted to UEFI. So I setup some of my custom settings as they had been lost and continued. After shut down I switch the power off from the outlet (this is every day). The next day I turn the PC back on it boots back to...

So, first things first, I HOPE this section is where this goes. If not, I apologize. I wasn't sure where to put it. As the title states I accidentally updated my BIOS. How does one manage to do this accidentally? By downloading all optional drivers that Windows Update suggests while half-asleep...

Built a computer last year for the first time, and thought I'd try this Re-Sizable Bar feature for the RTX 3080. However I ran into a problem, Resizable Bar requires CSM to be disabled, and when I disable CSM my Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2tb M.2 Drive cannot be found in the BIOS at all, with nothing...

Suppose you have 2x 3200 & 2x 2400 Sticks. This is running quadchannel and in general @ 2400mhz since the 2 Sticks are the lowest freq. correct? If you want to run at 3200mhz you'd need to disable/remove the lower frequency sticks correct? If that is the case, is it possible to utilize all...

Swapped over to a UEFI build of win10 with a fresh install (In case I ever use resizable bar). My Ram (4000mhz 16-19-19-39 G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB) is no longer running at the 4000mhz profile I had it at prior to the UEFI install (on legacy bios) and it worked like that for almost the...
