Do I Actually Need ASRock P45R2000-WiFi Bios 1.70 For DOS After A Clean Windows Install??

Are there any unknown devices in Device Manager with hidden devices shown?

@ninab306 thank u this worked!!. wait does this also apply to asrock?

lol same thing happened to me +1 same here

yeah so i dont use any special power plans, just Balanced. idk what else to say tbh

ok so install order for a fresh setup: chipset first, then storage, then netwrok, then GPU and audio. that avoids dependencies installing in the wrong order. worked for me anyway 🤷

ok so have u checked your drivers settings? :/ mine were reset after an update

honestly just reset the firmware and save yourself the pain

on some newer CPUs, the chipset package includes power plans or scheduler-related components that improve behavior ;) for those, installing it from teh vendor or board maker is recommended. hope that helps :)

ok so following, having the same problem fingers crossed 🤞

RAM prices doing their own thing again smh

check Device Manager with View > Show hidden devices. if there are unknown devices like SM Bus Controller or PCI Device, the chipset package or related drivers fill those in. worked for me anyway 🤷

On many platforms, the chipset package is mostly INF files that give devices proper names and correct power settings. Windows often provides equivalent inbox drivers. But some platforms include real drivers (power management, PCIe, i/O) that do matter.

ok so bump. still happening with clean for me

idk man that sounds like bad advice tbh. my brand new build is officially haunted

🤔

@ninab306 yesss decided to install the board maker's chipset package. It's now part of my checklist after a clean Windows install. thank u thank u thank u
