Asus Prime B450-M, Ryzen 5 2400G, AMI BIOS, Win10 64-bit, latest Windows updates and Radeon drivers. Mostly office apps, no high-frame-rate or dual-screen gaming
I have been running extended Windows desktop on a 32" Samsung UHD monitor from the HDMI output and a 21" Samsung SyncMaster from...
Ryzen 2400G on ASUS B450M; Win 10 64 and apps are on a SATA SSD, all data on two 8TB HDDs RAID-1 mirrored via Storage Space. I had used (and preferred) hardware RAID on previous Intel systems, but when I put this one together 6 months ago I hurried through setup and went with AHCI SATA (CMS...
I've just set up the new mobo with a Ryzen 5 2400G and two 8GB sticks of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 DRAM 3200, in DIMM A2 and B2 as recommended. Everything's fine except that BIOS and everything beyond sees only 8MB. I've swapped them, reseated them very careully several times -- still just 8GB showing.
Thank you! I hadn't been clicking the 'Change' button after selecting Win 7x64 as OS. [f/x heel of hand to forehead] D'oh! Will definitely flash before attempting migration to the replacement SSD on its way now.
Umm, no... the SSD worked fine with an MBR Win10 installation done on the HP laptop, then installed temporarily to replace the (MBR) boot SSD in my desktop system. Windows scrambled around adapting to the very different environment, loading drivers like mad, then ran fine.
But the SSD has...
Insydeh2O BIOS F.29, 10/3/2013. Damned if i (or the HP Support Assistant sw) can find any BIOS update (or any drivers, or the OEM recovery discs that I never had) for this Pavilion M7-1015dx, product # B4T70UA, on the HP site. If you have a link to that BIOS update "less than a year ago," please...
Nope, just tried it again: definitely GPT formattimg and definirtely legacy support disabled (i.e. UEFI) in BIOS all the way through -- after installation finished and it restarted, came up with "boot device not found"; tried looking for an EFI file via BIOS and got ASCII garbage. I'm now...
I did see the 4-partition default GPT layout several times, which tells me that on the previous attempts the Win 10 installer had sensed the BIOS was set to "legacy support disabled" -- i.e. UEFI. I've been assuming that sensing is reliable, but will run again and bring up BIOS setup again to...
It may come to that -- or could be something funky in the laptop's SATA implementation, as I've been trolling lots of forums on this and have yet to see *any* account of *any* successful HDD->SSD move on this model.
Sorry, don't understand "are you using..?" Do you mean "which AHCI driver is Windows selecting during installation on the SSD?" I don't know, as it has yet to run from the SSD while that's in the HP laptop. As for LPM and DevSlp, how would I disable them? Not from this minimal BIOS, that's for sure.
There doesn't seem to be anything newer at Insyde, but I've got a query in at the BIOS Mods forum about possible third-party flashes that would give more specific control. I hadn't looked at the laptop's BIOS setup until this HDD died and this episode began. And after tweaking a lot of high-end...
HP Pavilion M7-1015dx, 2012 vintage, InsydeH20 BIOS (see pix) with no explicit setting for SATA mode, only the legacy mode choice for UEFI/CSM. It had run the OEM Win 7 fine, upgraded to Win 10 fine, reinstalled Win 10 clean from other media fine. Recently the factory HDD died. I've added SSDs...
I'lll soon be adding a 256GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD to a MSI 7666 Big Bang Xpower mobo with i7 950 at 3.1 GHz. The SSD will be for Win7 Pro x64 and main apps. The other drive is a 3 TB 7200rpm SATA III HDD.
The board has two nominally 6Gb/sec SATA ports on a Marvell 91XX controller, and six...
