Will Windows boot with the partition DPT + LEGACY MODE >???

Hi there,

I have been able to mod and flash an ASUS Z87-Pro motherboard with your instructions to support booting on an NVMe Samsung 960 EVO 1TB disk (using an Addonics ADM2PX4 adapter) with Ubuntu 17.04 and Windows 10. Thank you. The whole process wasn't easy and it took several attempts but I did it.

I've noticed some new small issues with my modded BIOS though. In some reboot cases (some quick reboots), the NVMe disk is not detected during POST and the system won't boot on it. My usual workaround is to enter BIOS config when I do quick reboots and manually select the disk from the boot devices (it does show in the BIOS when I enter it for some reason even after quick reboots). The other weird issue is that I'm now getting A2 errors [IDE detect] (on the 7 segment motherboard error display) when my Rumblepad 2 controller is plugged in during POST and some instability (cannot boot, system restart after a few seconds, etc). My workaround for this has been to unplug the controller during POST. It might be unrelated and I'm still more than happy to use my NVMe disk as my bootable disk even with these issues.

Regards,

First of all thank you so much for a great guide you guys! I managed to mod my ASUS P8Z68-V PRO GEN3 motherboard to boot from a Samsung 960 EVO 500Gb just nice.

My question is related to the performance I'm getting. In the photo below the first score is from my friend's rig using a native m.2 connector on a Z270 motherboard, the second one is my score when the adapter is connected to the black PCIe x4 2.0 slot and the third one is with the adapter connected to the second PCIe x16 3.0 slot.
Why is the 4K Q32TI and 4K performances way behind my friend's score and very close to the ones I'm getting with the PCIe x4 2.0 slot?

Thanks once again for irreplaceable information and research, Fernando, the forum and everyone involved! My new 960 EVO is humming as the boot drive on my Z87 computer now.

My board (ASrock 970M Pro3) has the well known 634E8DB5-C432-43BE-A653-9CA2922CC458 Nvme driver module. Would it make any sense to change/upgrade the module for my Plextor M8Pe ssd or is it "good enough"?

Hi Does anyone here have the NVME mod BIOS for the X79 UD5? Please PM me if you do.

Thanks,

-Gabe

Hello Fernando.

I'm new in this forum.

I speak English badly, but if it is also technical language I speak even worse ....... I'm sorry.

Thank you for your great contribution and that keeps me busy for so long.

I do not know if I will, but I'm having a lot of fun trying.

Your manual has helped me a lot and it worked perfectly in my BIOS.

The problem came later when the new Nvme disk worked but every 10 minutes it crashed.

I have Z77X-D3H with I7 3770K 16 Gb.

I tried everything I could try ......... Drivers, disks, deactivated the different Sata / Gsata, etc.

I tried installing another W10 with another USB, in case the problem was in the installation.

Finally I decided to give up the NVME disk and install it on my son's computer, it has an Asus Prime Z270K that supports 2 M.2 disks and everything perfect.

One day later I decided to try to make on my computer a new installation with W10 UEFI boot on a disk "normal"

And SURPRISE continued to crash the "normal" disc every 10 minutes or so.

The problem was the UEFI boot, it was not the NVME disk.

I have continued to investigate all BIOS options, I have tried them all and I still do not get a stable session, max 20 minutes and it crashes.

I have tried all the BIOS options, I have not managed to make the UEFI configuration stable, it always does Crashed every 10 min.

I have downloaded all unmodified bios from Gibabyte and none supports stable startup in UEFI.

Any ideas ??

Thank you.
Francisco

Your Ram speed must be too high, probably need more SA voltage, or you've got bad ram. Besides that totally off topic to nature of this thread.

Never ever I have Overclocking.
M.I.T. all options are auto, no warnings, no red light

and the memory work perfectly by LEGACY.
I have problems only by UEFI
Sorry for me english.
Wich is the thread correct?
You can answer me by private, so I do not bother more in this thread. Sorry.
Thanks.
Francisco.

You don't have to overclock anything for the components not work well together. Are you sure your ram is on the qvl? Using latest bios? Are your rails and voltages on spec? PM me if you want..
