Hi @Fernando ,

I did the clear cmos jumper yesterday and then the pc did not display at all without the pcie adapter. I'm not sure why it did that, tired a few times.

Should i just remove the cmos battery and try it that way? im scared it did something coz it didnt want to display afterwards, any ideas?

Hi @Fernando , I'm not sure as i bought it second hand recently.

I will swap it out with my old mobo and do the 2minutes removal as advised. will post back when it's done later after im home.

And Yes you are correct ->i mean the NVMe SSD (including the M.2>PCIe adapter)

Thank you!

Hi,
I just tried to insert the NVME module into my father in law's mainboard of his Medion PC via MMTool following your guide. Everything looks as if I failed, right?

Anything I can do to make it work?
Thank you in advance!

hi @Fernando

i managed to get it to work without the gpu inserted , it only worked after i enabled win8 whql.
it worked well on both pcie slots but stopped working when i input the gpu. im not sure why this is?

any ideas how to get them both working?

Hi Fernando,
thank you very much for your efforts!

I also tried using different tools and using UEFITool for insertion I got the following result:


So at the first glance everything looks perfect for me. But I would like to ask you to double-check, just to be sure.
I have attached the original and the modded file to this post.

Thanks in advance!

@Fernando: To be honest, for me it was greyed out as well in the recent version of UEFITool. I just used it for presentation purposes because it shows a more detailed view of the modules as seen in the screenshots. The version used for insertion was 0.28.0 downloaded from the link in the first post.

I don't know why it worked for me while you did not succeed using the same version of the tool. I will test out flashing the BIOS as soon as I come home from work. If everything works flawlessly, I'll report here and upload the file into the database.

Hi @Fernando - sorry for the late reply, was defeated everyday with trying to get this to work.
>I used the moded F15 bios
>i managed to change the setting in bios- operating system - Win8 whql

At the moment the pcie adapter works perfect with no gpu, if i insert it (when off)when the gpu is inserted the pc automatically stoped detecting the gpu. Not even in device manager. I can only then use the gpu if i reset cmos. otherwise it will not display anything at all. the last time i had to reset Cmos and it still didnt work until i loaded optomized defaults, only after it rebooted did the gpu start working again.

I thought i need to reinstall gpu drivers in safe mode which i did, to no avail. It's great that the system recognises the Pata if inserted with win8 WHQL mode . I wish i could get them both working, i will use my other psu to power the gpu separely and see if this makes a difference but imean it was running atleast 100w more with the other gpu so its not looking likely as i doubt the pcie 2.0x4 would draw more than another GPU ?

please let me know what you think, im sorry ive taken this long, ive been going through different forums to see if theres a shared lane issue or something else i cant put my finger on.

Flashed the BIOS file today and the PC booted up flawlessly after I disabled the Security Boot option:



Unfortunately, I have no M2 to PCI-E adapter to test ist, but I think the screenshot should speak for itself :)

Hi @Fernando ,
im going to try the separate PSU first then the f13 bios mod and see if the removal of the fast boot and operating system options on bios are better suited.

Thanks for all the help champ! really! ill let you know once ive solved this mystery
all the best, keep safe brother.
