GA-X79-UD3 (rev. 1.1)  Windows 8,1

secure boot isn't configured correctly  showing up on the bottom right of screen ..   brand new motherboard and cpu ,  the hole set-up is brand new

[sparks199]

Ok   any one ...   

Secure Boot is currently disabled. Please enable Secureboot through the system firmware. (The PC is in UEFI mode and Secure Boot is disabled.)


when infact my Secureboot is on

You will have to go back to older bios to fix it. I'm running the same board, But my board isn't up to date on the bios.

There isn't any secure boot coming up on my screen. It is the newer bios F16 that is causing the problem.

If you are on F16 they do have a newer bios from Tweak Town

That cannot be done .   

The  F16  will only rum my i7 4820

the older bios will not run my cpu

[dmdilks]

Then try the newer F17b bios.

[sparks199]

until this shows that it works , I am not going to run a test bios

it could cause more worries than I have

[dmdilks]

Then you will have to live with it till they fix it. You are not the only one with this problem.

Read some of the threads here maybe some body can help. There is many on this problem.

Hi sparks199

Please try this special bios F17c and let us know the outcome. Thanks

[sparks199]

AS I first thought ..   

the update you gave me didn't change a thing .

and I am not sure that I wanna be your tester boy . at the risk of my pc .

already you have given such bad advise already   like ,    you wrote: Have you try the onboard VGA? Does the problem still persist?

When this is no  onboard VGA with this mortherboard .   

then you gave me this advise :

Please go to BIOS Setup\BIOS Feature\Secure Boot Mode set to Custom.
Then you will see “key management” option.

Press enter into key management to set “default key provisioning” to enabled.
Save and exit.


guess what that almost bricked my board .  I had to force start my back up ..

and now you get me to update a test bios ......

which don't work ..


what ever next from GIGABYTE SURPORT

[kangoo]

the best way to contact with their support is to raise a ticket at: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/technical-support.aspx
here we can just discuss the problems between us

fortunately i am not in this crazy path of upgrading everything to the latest like win 8.1, iOS7 etc.    it just causes more problems then it's worth. i prefer to save my time for more funny hobbies

[sparks199]

all the reply from what I posted above ,   was in fact from there support ticket . 

3 very wrong and bad advise . 

this is the first time iv gone to a gigabyte board .   and I am sure it is going to be the last one I get .  just one big nightmear

Hi sparks199
I have asked our tech support to solve your problem asap, please await contact from their side.
Sorry for the problem you experience.

[sparks199]

asap . 

3 weeks iv been in contact with your tech support

3 weeks of try this try that ..

then had to come on here . to ask .

so why now should I trust your tech support . 

asking me to plug into the VGA   when the Ga-x79 ud3 does not have a on board VGA ..   what sort of advise is that .

then asking me to go back to a older bios  , when I am running the i7 4820k

again what sort of advise is that .

then aking me to  Press enter into key management to set “default key provisioning” to enabled.


and that stopped the motherboard from booting up at all ....   once again what sort of advise is that ..


it goes on and on
Save and exit.

Hi

You know that is mostly a user to user forum. This isn't tech support. Yes the Mods can talk to tech support, but tech support doesn't really come here.

I'm sorry you are having problems with secure boot. But it has been pointed out that is mostly cause by your VIDEO CARD on other threads.

The next thing is you really never put up any spec on your computer other than you had a GA-x79-UD3.

So in a way we can only help on what you have put up. I think if you had put up some spec the first time maybe the advice would have been different.

Again I'm sorry that you are having a problem , but people here are only trying help with what you have told us.

Plus it isn't really all Gigabytes fault. Microsoft is the one that really cause this problem with windows 8. Plus are you talking to Microsoft on this one too.

[sparks199]

no you misunderstand 

it has been the tech support that has been giving me all them advise ..

and that is why I came on here to ask
