Motherboards with Intel processors / Re: Unable to enter BIOS on first boot GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX MB

« Last post by DC42 on September 01, 2024, 02:17:09 am »

I tried a few more times and it posted ultimately ending up in the BIOS (then installing Windows). Had to use one stick in "3rd" slot (have to look the manual for slot info A or B, 1 or2).

Want to get dual channel going with my second identical stick. When I try I do not end up getting to Windows. The manual was clear on what slots to use but nothing seems to work for me. Need to investigate the BIOS and perform a deep dive.

Once I can get into using the desired 64GB of RAM all will be well.

Motherboards with Intel processors / Unable to enter BIOS on first boot GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX MB

« Last post by DC42 on September 01, 2024, 12:13:30 am »

Hello,

Putting together a new build on the bench (not in chassis).

CPU:Intel Core i7-14700K

CPU cooler:Noctua NH-D15S

Motherboard:GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS ELITE AX

Ram: G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400 (PC5 51200)

SSD/HDD:SAMSUNG 870 EVO Series 2.5" 1TB SATA III V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-77E1T0B/AM

GPU: Onboard

PSU:Seasonic VERTEX GX-1200, 1200W 80+ Gold

Chassis: Not in yet

OS:Not installed yet

Monitor: Dell 22" HDMI connected via HDMI for initial set up

Turned on PSU. Board initially lights up, CPU cooler fan spinning, RAM lights are glowing, keyboard via USB is does not display light activity, monitor is not getting signal. The board is getting power but cannot get to the next step of hitting DEL and entering BIOS. CPU cables are secure from board to PSU, same with the board power cable.

Little DRAM light on the side of the board is flashing up and down. Tried to boot with one stick instead of two (32GB per stick). CPU dropped in nicely, secured it, and installed cooler. Want to get into the BIOS to check things out and then install Windows. I am stuck at this point. Pulled out the CMOS battery and placed back in to no avail. Believe the CPU and RAM are compatible based on the compatibility listings at the Gigabyte site. Any thoughts?

Motherboards with AMD processors / Re: Enabling Secure Boot on Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 Rev 1.5

« Last post by teknology9 on August 27, 2024, 04:56:00 pm »

Hi, This is another update having received some more information from the good folks at Gigabyte Support as the matter is now solved. I was advised to take the following steps:

1 Use Qflash to update the BIOS to FGb
2 Disable CSM and then save this and then boot back into the BIOS
3 Set the Secure Boot Mode to Custom
4 Restore Factory Keys > Yes
This will then take you into Windows and then check System information, you will see that Secure Boot is on. Therefore, the FGb BIOS is fine it is just that with the previous BIOS, FF, I didn't have to do this.

I hope this helps others and thanks again to Gigabyte Support in the UK and Taiwan.

Thanks,

Teknology9

UPDATE

The issue was with the beta BIOS for this board, so I will wait for next one to appear before updating.

Motherboards with AMD processors / Enabling Secure Boot on Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 Rev 1.5

« Last post by teknology9 on August 18, 2024, 02:17:22 pm »

Hi folks,

I am trying to enable secure boot within the BIOS of the Gigabyte b550 Aorus Elite V2 Rev 1.5 so that it appears as 'ON' within the Windows 11 system information section. I have taken the following steps:

In the BOOT Menu

Disabled CSM

This then enables Secure Boot > enabled Secure Boot

Next Secure Boot Mode  Custom >  Custom to Standard

Next Install factory defaults > Yes

I then get a message stating ' Secure Variable Update is locked down'

Has anyone else come across this issue with this motherboard? If so, how did you resolve this issue?

Cheers,

By what I'm reading from the book. It is sharing that slot with the SSD. What happens if you run the SSD in the M2A slot.

We are not support here it is just a user to user forum. Plus not many of us are here these days.

Plus by looking at all the Bios updates there isn't any for that problem. I would contact support themselves.

new realtek audio drivers from Gigabyte

version 6.0.9468.1 for recent 2023 gigabyte aorus/aero laptops (released late March 2023)

version 6.0.9373.1 for recent gigabyte boards (might work with boards with certain older intel & amd chipsets like z490, x470, etc.) - released late 2022

the links to these older audio driver versions are no longer working.
for v6.0.9468.1, use the re-released link from my older post here.

for v6.0.9373.1, get it directly from this link {though it's a mislabeled "6.0.9313.1" driver package, this actually contains version 6.0.9373.1 instead of 6.0.9313.1}

speaking of v6.0.9313.1, here's the link to the "real" 6.0.9313.1 driver.

and here are some older driver versions that I found (in case the newest versions may not work well for older boards & systems)

version 6.0.9520.1 for certain Gigabyte server/workstation motherboards & PCs but may also work on most Gigabyte consumer desktop motherboards as well - {alternate link}

version 6.0.9475.1 for certain Gigabyte server/workstation motherboards & PCs but may also work on most Gigabyte consumer desktop motherboards as well (released late May 2023)

version 6.0.9257.1 for a Gigabyte N5105I H {rev. 1.0} mini-ITX board but may also work on other Gigabyte boards, certain older laptops & mini pcs as well

I'll mention other older Realtek audio driver versions in a newer post.
