roughly
u can test

make changes in that

change the number after the -n
save and run

Update your bios and install chipset drivers. It's also very sensitive to memory latency if you can overclock that.

Okay so this is gonna be a difficult one...
I'm installing windows XP on an older laptop, it currently has 32bit home, I'm trying to install 64bit Pro (It has a 64 bit CPU) so I can have access to more RAM and use more programs with the computer.
I do not want to upgrade it any higher than XP. This laptop is for nostalgia purposes.
When I try to use a USB to install 64bit, I get "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration... NTDETECT failed"
Nothing on the internet I have found so far mentions a fix for this while installing windows, only while booting an existing windows OS.
Is there anything I can do? The system fully supports a 64 bit OS, but the installer won't go any further than NTDETECT failed.
I'm now getting the exact same issue with 32 bit
cinder mauve
Installing from a DVD seems to fix the issue, but I don't have a 64 bit DVD. I'll try and make one.
idle dragon
This is the latest version I can find on msi.com
And its also the one I have rn
Shouldn't it be "click bios 5"?

to use to update bios

idle dragon
I already did it yesterday with the latest bios version (for a320m a pro) you can find on msi.com
crisp spire
ok then ur bios is updated
idle dragon
But it's still click bios 1
So apparently there is no way to get click bios 5 on my a320?
crisp spire
no but it really doesnt matter
idle dragon
At least, is there a way to unlock more things on the bios? Like fan speed?
I saw other videos on YouTube where people were able to change settings, why can't I do that? 
crisp spire
advanced tab probably
idle dragon
no but it really doesnt matter
In my opinion click bios 5 is more intuitive and much better in every way

Hi everyone, I have been getting this error call "driver verifier DMA violation" which completely stops me from booting into Windows 11. This happens on my ASUS Zenbook that I bought recently. I had tried reinstalling windows 11. But during the process, it can not detect its internal SSD to reinstall OS, however, it was able to show up on the BIOS page. After some digging on the internet, it appears that it could be due to an outdated storage driver. But I am not sure how am I supposed to update the driver when I can not get into windows.
vestal ibex
Hi everyone, I have been getting this error call "driver verifier DMA violation"...
See if you can boot into safe mode. If you can, it's probably a driver. If you can't, Windows is borked.
dull bloom
I can not boot into safe mode..
vestal ibex
Do you have a recovery or install usb?
vestal ibex
Hmm that's not a good sign
A cmos reset might be in order
And double check that you don't have raid or intel rapid storage enabled in bios
dull bloom
there is no raid set up and I am sure not how to do a cmos reset on this laptop
vestal ibex
Looks like you'd need to take it apart to get at the battery. It might be enough to tell the bios to reset to defaults.
dull bloom
can i just detach the cable connected to the battery? or do i have to take the whole thing appart?
vestal ibex
That depends on your exact model but most of the ones I see it looks like you have to at least get the bottom cover off. To change a consumable battery. Great design.

Hey. Could someone please guide me through the Windows 11 installation process? I've started doing it but am encountering problems
balmy grove
What kind of problems?
cinder mauve
Basically, when I use the PC Health Check app to verify if my PC meets Windows 11 requirements, the app gives me 2 warnings that say that I don't have "Secure Boot" enabled and that TPM 2.0 isn't enabled either
I'm not too sure on what to do to set things up correctly
Are these problems common? @balmy grove
balmy grove
Oh
The classic requirement of tpm 2.0
What's your machine's specs?
If it's too old, you can still install it through rufus
Rufus has the ability to make bypassed windows 11 image
cinder mauve
I got a R5 2600, GTX 1660, 16 gigs memory, B450
cinder mauve
Oh, right
balmy grove
Or not, if you want to not bother with it
cinder mauve
My board is a B450 Aorus Elite if that helps
balmy grove
I've bypassed tpm 2.0 requirement on my laptop lol
So it's basically optional, but I'd recommend you just turn it on
cinder mauve
Right
balmy grove
And yes, that board does have it
balmy grove
It's in security tab, usually
But in my experience, it shouldn't be too difficult to find
cinder mauve
Alright, think I got it
Let me check in Microsoft app
Perfect! Working now
What about Secure Boot, do you know anything about that? @balmy grove
balmy grove
It's also in the bios
Should be in boot menu
Tho do make sure your install media is made with gpt, as it's needed for secure boot compatible install
cinder mauve
Tho do make sure your install media is made with gpt, as it's needed for secure ...
What's GPT? My bad
I think I got Secure Boot enabled by the way, but when I save and exit it keeps booting back to BIOS, and not my usual Windows 10
balmy grove
It's like partition table
Hm, yeah. That's with it on
Windows always use the logo the board uses if it's on
cinder mauve
Weird... what should I be doing?
balmy grove
Well, I suggest just making install media with Rufus
Make sure you enable online check for updates in the program to let it download windows image online and make a boot media for you
cinder mauve
So, whole new process?
cinder mauve
Should I turn secure boot off then
balmy grove
Microsoft's tool doesn't tend to make boot media for the right system
No, you don't need to
You can try to install with the media you already have first
If it doesn't work, you can easily make secure boot bypassed image
balmy grove
Don't worry about it, I'm here to guide you through
cinder mauve
Thanks, appreciate it
So, if I understood correctly
I should keep secure boot enabled. After that, what I'm supposed to be doing is making a Rufus install media
And can I do that in BIOS?
cinder mauve
Oh, I see
cinder mauve
Alright.
balmy grove
It does have portable version, and I recommend that
No need to install it on your system
cinder mauve
But to access Windows and then Rufus, shouldn't I turn off secure boot?
cinder mauve
Keeps redirecting me to BIOS though
balmy grove
Just make install media with GPT partition scheme
Hm, it keeps putting you back to bios?
cinder mauve
I’m not able to go back to my Windows desktop from what I can see
Yeah
That's what I meant, yeah
balmy grove
Then use the install media you already have to run an install
If things are right, it should go well

balmy grove
Can you go to easy mode?
cinder mauve
Yup , right away
cinder mauve
balmy grove
It detects the drive, but not boot partition
cinder mauve
Oh, I see
balmy grove
Whelp, this is gonna be fun
cinder mauve
Hmm. Worked just fine before all manipulations I made
Probably linked to either secure boot or TPM
balmy grove
I suggest you disable secure boot and tpm
cinder mauve
Yeah, let me do that
Windows booting now
As simple as that
Back to my desktop, works fine
balmy grove
So, your windows is non secure boot
That's why it didn't detect any boot partition
Well, then.. let's just make windows 11 install with no tpm and secure boot requirements lol
But that's optional though, as you can always enable them back on before you upgrade
cinder mauve
Yeah sure if that's possible that'd be great
balmy grove
This whole guide should help you on it
I had it much harder than you do cause I was so hyped about hopping on 11 lmao
It was before Rufus had this update to support such thing
cinder mauve
I see I see
balmy grove
I had to mod some install files to make it work
But now it's possible with just a click
cinder mauve
Well the simpler it is the better it is I guess
balmy grove
Yeah
cinder mauve
I'll LYK if I encounter any problems. Thanks a lot for your help 🙂
balmy grove
You're welcome, and you're free to ping me whenever. I'll come back as soon as possible

Your drive has apparently aged to the point where it has no spare sectors for reallocation. As a safety measure to avoid losing your data, it's only letting you read and not write.
Either aged or been damaged

Looks like they have you ship it to them and they cover return shipping. It doesn't go to the US, it goes to XPG HQ which I think is in... Brazil? At any rate it shouldn't cost too much because they negotiate reduced rates.
To submit the RMA form it looks like you'll need to make an account and register the drive. https://www.adata.com/en/member/login
They may have you try to update the firmware before you send it in, which will wipe the data. Whatever you want to save off that drive, get it now.

Go to speedtest.net and check your download speed
And is it just from one website or?

Most of them
Depending on the website it might be the website capping at that
Download like the google chrome installer and see the rate
