Hi all, What is the purpose of the 'CPU temperature LED switch' with an ON/OFF toggle under the 'monitoring' tab in the ASUS Rampage VI Extreme UEFI? I can't seem to find any information about it by searching the internet and there's nothing mentioned in the user manual. :unsure:

Hello people, I'm trying to use Adaptive Mode for CPU voltage in the UEFI on my Asus ROG Rampage VI Extreme, and despite having set the 'Additional Turbo Mode CPU Core Voltage' to 1.20V, when I load into Windows CPU-Z states that the maximum my CPU is using is 1.25V. I've looked into this and...

When changing certain settings in BIOS, and choosing "save and restart", the BIOS will save and sometimes immediately (jarringly) shut power off for just a few seconds before it powers back on and proceeds as normal. (Current mobo seems to do it every save now.) Is this normal? Why does it need...

I am upgrading a 2011 HP Pavilion HPE that has a Carmel motherboard. Many people complain about adding a new graphics card to HP motherboards of that time, because they only supported Legacy BIOS, and not UEFI standard in today's GPUs. I have looked into HP and American Megatrend drivers, but...

Despite no hardware changes to my Windows 10 PC, during boot up it has started to show this 'error' message. It doesn't say why, but only boots after I press F1 and either discard changes & exit, or save changes & exit. Motherboard is Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 with the latest 2015 American Megatrends...

Firstly I'm a total novice regarding these matters so I apologise before hand if my post is light on technical details. I recently bought a new computer and decided to build it myself. One area of the build which I've struggled with is getting the m. 2 nvme drive to dected in bios and windows...

I decided (5 years later) to install Windows 10 1903 on this motherboard with the A10-8850B APU, 32 GB or RAM. I was very impressed at the current performance, but need to share some standing issues: 1. Updating from a beta BIOS to the most current: Using the BIOS EZ Flash nor using a USB...

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded my laptop (an HP ZBook 15u G3) to a new SSD, and I cloned my old Windows image using Macrium Reflect to restore to the new SSD to avoid reinstalling Windows and all of my programs. However, I can only boot into Windows while in Legacy boot mode, in UEFI I get the...

Hello, So I have been trying for a while to figure out how to change the Windows Logo on Boot with the ASUS Logo(BIOS Logo). I started by following this guide on the ROG Forums and disabling CSM...

I just finished my first PC build and when I went to turn on the PC i got the "Reboot select proper boot device" error. I am using the HDD from my last computer which is recognized in the BIOS (the HDD has windows 10 installed to it). I made sure that the boot order is correct, and i have tried...

I installed win10 and a Linux for dual boot on the same ssd, during the installation of Linux, it contains a grub. After installation, I can see there is a new Linux efi file added to the ESP partition. Now I decided to remove the Linux entirely, the first step I did is to remove the efi boot...

Hi everyone I bought myself a M2 SSD Samsung 970 PRO 1TB and I tried to install Windows 10 on it. Easy, I thought. I plugged the SSD into the M2 Port and it shows up in BIOS. I created a bootable USB Stick with Windows Media Creation Tool, then disconnected all other harddrives and SSDs. I...

Hi everybody! I recently builded a computer, and I accidentally turned off all the CSM settings, and saved... since then, I'm unable to handle the bios. I mean, I installed a MBR partitioned windows on it, and everything works just fine, but when I enter into the bios (UEFI), then the bios does...

Hi, don;t know if it the correct name for it but the screen that comes when you boot up your PC that gives you the options to press DEL or F2 to get into the BIOS. So my issue is that prior to getting a second display I had to 1080p monitorone using DP and the other HDMI and the UEFI BIOS would...

Hi guys, Before I'm redirected to another thread, let me say that I've read literally dozens of similar threads that don't completely answer my question. I've been at this since 5am my time. So, I installed Linux on my desktop alongside Windows in its own partition. I have Windows 10 installed...

My mobo is MSI B450A PRO. I'd like to enable XMP. It has Click BIOS 5, but it doesn't look normal. It's in a 4:3 aspect ratio, there's text missing and there isn't any info... It showed up normally only the first time. imgur.com/a/6RruH6X MSI B450-A Pro Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5GHz 2x8Gb Corsair...

OK ... I've read a bit and see that a system requires UEFI to convert disks to GPT. I have three drives in my system that are 128GB SSD's. They are strictly for storage of data. I am on a system that is UEFI compliant, i.e., BIOS is UEFI BIOS - WIN10 - 64bit - 32GB ram - latest WIN10 updates...
