@GinoDivx:
Thanks for your recent report. It is fine, that you finally succeeded and got a bootable NVMe SSD.
Your mistake was, that you didn't boot off the USB Flash drive in UEFI mode (as written within my guide).

Regarding your problem with the inserted Video Card I suspect, that it was caused by a missing "GOPDriver" (= UEFI module for the graphics adapter). This BIOS module is required, if the user wants to boot in "clean" UEFI mode (Compatibility Support Module is DISABLED within the BIOS).
Possible solutions:
a) Flash an updated graphics card BIOS, which contains the required GOPDriver module (best solution, if such BIOS is available).
b) Change the BIOS setting regarding the UEFI mode (loading of LEGACY mode modules will be allowed besides loading of UEFI modules).

@GinoDivx,
Please look at post #2592 #2594 and finally #2600; read through to post #2603.
I had exactly the same problem with my P8Z68-V and I regret to inform you it cannot be fixed - I'm still running with the iGPU.

Regards

Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

Regarding the following points I have some doubts:
To point 4: Why do you want to put the AMI Aptio V MMTool v5.02.0025 into the BIOS_source folder and where did you get it? I don't know this MMTool version.
By the way: You had downloaded the correct AMI Aptio IV MMTool v4.50.0023.
To point 5: This will not work. You will have to rename the modded BIOS according to ASUS's USB Flashback rules and to flash the BIOS by using the related USB Flashback button.
To point 7: You will have to do a fresh install either of Win7 (requires integrated NVMe driver) or of Win10 onto the NVMe SSD. Once the OS is up and running, you can do an upgrade.

Good luck!

@fernando
thank you very much for your quick response and very clear

To point 4: yes, you're right I made a mistake, the new version AMI Aptio V MMTool v5.02.0025, not supported my source BIOS file, you can get it here https://forums.tweaktown.com/ so, the right version is v4.50.0023

To point 5: Flashing of the modded BIOS (Z87-PRO-ASUS-2103.CAP) and flash modded bios using asus ez flash 2 uefi bios utility

To point 7: install Win10 on the new NVMe SSD by the way some recommendation for NVMe SSD about 100�

I doubt, that you will be able to get a modded capsuled ASUS BIOS successfully flashed by using the ASUS EZ flash utility.

So, what do you recommend to make a correct flashing of the modded BIOS

@jmbalicia:
AFAIK your specific ASUS mainboard supports the USB Flashback feature. This would be the best and safest option for you to get the modded BIOS properly flashed.

@fernando

but now I have a great doubt, after obtaining the bios-mod (Z87-PRO-ASUS-2103.CAP and before the flashing modded BIOS, Do i have to change the name with the utility BIOS RENAMER? or is not necessary?

Yes, you have to rename the modded BIOS. You can do it by using the "BIOS Renamer".

Yes.
If you are unsure regarding your modded BIOS, you can attach it as *.ZIP archive and will check it.

The Samsung 970 EVO series have a good cost-value ratio.
