I learned a hard lesson awhile back when I tried upgrading the OEM 128 GB NVME M.2 drive to a Samsung 950 Pro 512 GB model. Using the cloning process seemed like the way to go but it was fraught with pitfalls. After several failures, I eventually cloned the OEM drive, shutdown the system...
When a member starts talking about giving another a negative reaction for voicing an opinion on their favorite apples, then tops it off with a parting shot at possibly ignoring them, I’d rather be spending my time elsewhere. Having run a successful forum for nearly a decade I’ve seen and heard...
I simply cannot watch the garbage on Fox as it’s obvious they just stick their head in the sand on every important issue. It’s problematic in my household though as my mom moved in two years ago after my father died. She likes Fox so I have to suffer through an hour or two of it every morning...
Xenforo has a specific setting in the ACP that allows admins to set a certain number of seconds users must wait between creating two posts. This avoids posts with three words that create a thread resembling a chat room.
It was so clear to see what kind of dirt bag Putin is when he high fived the Saudi Prince at the G20 Summit two days ago. It was like, ‘good job friend, you’re a murderous POS just like me and I love it’.
It seems Russia is playing both sides. If they were responsible for getting Trump elected I’m not certain what they’re specifically after, unless it has to do with gaining the upper hand on any and all information pertaining to them.
I suppose they’re just keeping an eye on any official(s) who...
To this day I still do not understand how anyone with even a shred of intelligence would have voted for Trump in 2016. I’m not a fan of Hillary either but her experience put her head and shoulders above Donald “shit for brains” Trump. He’s a guy that built and operated casinos in Atlantic City...
Exactly. When a person tells the truth it’s easy to recall what was previously stated. However, when continually lying it’s a constant battle to try and remember what was previously stated as the *truth*. It is so blatantly obvious the Republicans across the country elected a reality TV star...
To me it isn’t news anymore when Trump lies because that’s all he does. He’s a pathological liar who is incorrigible and is headed down a road he never dreamed he’d be on. I really hope he leaves the WH in cuffs with his head hanging low like the low life he is.
I'm glad you have a new chip coming to solve the issue. One last thought came to mind after reading this again. I hope you removed the USB flash drive from the system before troubleshooting and attempting the new startup post BIOS update failure. If not, it should be so as not to cause issues...
I found a couple of other reports of borked BIOS updates on this model over at Tom's Hardware. I also heard a couple of AsRock guys saying they ran the G3258 on the original version 1.00 from the factory with nary a problem. Sorry this isn't solved yet for you...
This might be reaching, but in the times you've removed the CPU to swap it out during your troubleshooting is it possible you didn't get it reseated just right and might need to double check that it's squared away? According to the AsRock site the BIOS V1.30 contains the microcode for both the...
I sure hope the flash didn't brick things, but if it were me I'd stick with the G3258 for all troubleshooting, since it worked fine until the issues started. With the backup BIOS it should start and allow you to get back into the BIOS so you can have a look see at the situation. Is the BIOS...
Pages 18-19 in the manual deal with the steps needed to get up and running. Did you try moving the jumper cap to pins 2 and 3 on the BIOS selection jumper? It sounds like clearing the CMOS may have compounded the issue but maybe not. Page 19 has the steps laid out nicely so I hope it helps you...
I've always installed Windows updates as soon as they're released no questions asked. I also run NIS and run Live Update before I launch anything just to make sure it's up to date. One thing that has always bothered me is it seems like a never ending update cycle with Microsoft. In other words...
