Question about Gigabyte Aorus Master z690

Oh, yes. They act a bit funny when you are reporting a bug, not asking for help. That whole routine with with "have you tried reseating your sticks" and "leave only one stick" and my favorite "disable the xmp profile then," even though everything works fine after you get past their init bug and...

Question about Gigabyte Aorus Master z690

Two sticks, only one XMP profile, memory model #CMK64GX5M2B5600C40, slots 2 and 4, CPU-Z shows timings in agreement with what the manufacturer wants (40-40-40-77). Everything runs fine once you do the trick with powering down the machine during that initialization loop -- no problem initializing...

Question about Gigabyte Aorus Master z690

Sadly, the issue with inability to boot right after enabling XMP profile for Corsair DDR5 is not my impatience as of BIOS v20. After upgrading to v21, same thing: boots fine with XMP disabled, but as soon as it's enabled, infinite loop of codes including 54 and 5C. Very interestingly, a forced...

[SOLVED] Mysterious Events 41

Gigabyte's downloads for this mb include a fast boot utility for Windows, which I think is supposed to enable/disable this specific feature (separate from secure boot) simultaneously in BIOS and in Windows. Gigabyte's support is telling me that they built a system identical to mine and that...

Question about Gigabyte Aorus Master z690

If there's anyone using this motherboard, your input will be appreciated. Is it normal for these boards to go into a long (2-4 mins) procedure of some sort during the first boot after BIOS update? It just does stuff silently with nothing on screen, which I consider a bit nerve-wrecking. ;)...

[SOLVED] Intel's AC3165 suddenly lost ability to connect & stream to audio devices via BT, card otherwise works fine

Yeah, a "high-power" USB BT adapter is what I went for. Whatever windows does to the power settings, it is doing it to this adapter as well, but the range is now sufficient. The original BT adapter works fine under live Linux, so this is clearly an issue with the Windows power schemes, but at...

Mine also started seeing more devices (especially nearby), but no normal operation. Thanks for the suggested workaround, but I've seen it before and sadly I don't have anything BT-related under HID.

I am having a similar issue described here and it appears to me that my BT adapter operates in some sort of a power-saving mode. I tried connecting a BT dongle (which works happily on another computer) and it has the same issues, which suggests like a software issue with Win10 in my case. What...

Nasty Bluetooth problems

The situation improves somewhat (still nowhere near usable BT sound) if I remove the "unified logitech receiver" dongle that came with the k400+ keyboard. Never caused any trouble before.

Nasty Bluetooth problems

I have one of those noname boxes, which has been working fine. Sadly, it ran out of its puny MMC storage, so I decided to install a fresh copy of Win10 (downloaded on the same day from MS, not the manufacturer's OEM) on a newly installed 2.5" SATA SSD. Everything went reasonably well, but right...

I have never, ever seen anything like this. Was this Win11?

What's the verdict? Windows 11 Discussion Thread

My verdict after using it on a brand new build for about two weeks is that it is absolutely horrible and it is very likely that I will go back to 10. I have windows 95 running on a 1995 laptop (486DX, 16Mb RAM) better than this garbage on what manufacturers sell as "premium" hardware (Gigabyte...

Windows 11 restarts automatically after shutdown

Also, to be clear, this wasn't one occurrence. It happened consistently over a period of maybe 40-50 minutes, during which I was reading online and running things like sfc and chkdisk, so there would be 10-20 minutes between occurrences. It stopped after I disabled WoL and didn't happen again...

Windows 11 restarts automatically after shutdown

The whole thing felt like the machine shut down with all fans stopping and then the power button was pressed a second later. I am not having issues anymore, but I really want to know what caused restarts earlier. As I said above, the problem has not reoccurred after I disabled WoL -- didn't...
