Hey! So I know that UEFI is the new fancy bios with all the fancy gui and secure boot and stuff. Legacy bios is the old one for MBR systems. However, I read that there is a performance difference when installing an Operating System from UEFI bios and LEGACY bios. Is this true? If yes, which one should I go for while installing the OS?(Windows, Linux dualboot)

I was changing settings in my BIOS (I believe it was changing something from Legacy to UEFI, trying to change it to Secure Boot and enabling some Intel Platform something stuff), restarted my computer, and now I have no display and my PC is turning on and off repeatedly. I unplugged the computer, took out the CMOS battery for 10 minutes, plugged it back in and still same result. Used screwdriver to connect 2 CLR_CMOS pins, plugged the Power On plug (thats going from i believe switch button) onto these 2 pins and held switch button for like 30 seconds. After putting back the Power On plug back into its place i tried booting my pc up again. It went into the cycle again however at the first time after starting it i heard few beep sounds (at the rate of around 1 beep per sec). I also tried taking off my RAM, putting it back in etc.and still nothing. Im pretty sure that its not PSU's fault because everything seems to get power. What May be causing the problem and how can I solve it?

I am attempting to install win 11 on my fairly modern PC, but I am unable to satisfy PC health check. It thinks my Secure boot is disabled. Even Unsupported. I have updated my bios to the latest version and have tried to find any BIOS settings that should have any effect. But no success. Does anybody have any idea what's the issue or what are the correct settings. Sys info lists BIOS mode as legacy ( i haven't figured out how to change that) and Secure boot as unsupported.

Hello everyone, I have had a really weird issue with NVIDIA GeForce drivers for a few years now and I cannot figure it out for the life of me. First and foremost, the issue. Every time I try to update my GPU drivers (via GeForce Experience, game ready drivers without GeForce experience, etc.,) it will get stuck at around 1/3 through the process, stops, and fails to install graphics drivers. I have tried every single iteration of installation including DDU in safe mode, not in safe mode, clean installation instead, express installation, disconnecting from my local network, yet nothing seems to work. This has been happening on the same Windows 10 legacy installation (don't ask, I haven't found the time to switch to UEFI lol) since about 2016 with a GTX 1070, 1070 Ti, RTX 3070, and an RTX 3070 Ti. But I have found one method that works every single time without failure. To give myself a little bit of credibility, I am a system technician at a local computer warehouse (specializing in Windows software and GPU testing/repair) and I am very good at solving issues like this at work. I am currently running an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, 2x16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3600MHz, an MSI MPG Gaming Carbon Pro WIFI, an EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming, and my BOOT drive is a Samsung 850 Evo 256GB. The only fix or way around this strange issue is to download the GPU drivers from the NVIDIA website WITHOUT GeForce experience, restarting my system in safe mode without networking, just plain safe mode, and installing them. This does NOT work when I am in safe mode with networking. I have absolutely no clue why this happens. The only thing that I could find online was the fact that RTX 3000 series technically isn't compatible with Windows legacy but that doesn't explain the fact that I was having the exact same issue with GTX 1000 series, which has no compatibility issues with a legacy Windows installation. Obviously the only thing that I haven't tried is to install drivers on a fresh installation of Windows but I am lazy and haven't found the time to transfer my important data to another drive. I am only asking if anyone can explain what is happening or if anyone has ever experienced something similar to my issue. This is one of the only driver issues that I haven't figured out for YEARS and it is driving me absolutely nuts!

Hey, Legacy or UEFI: is either better for unRAID (i.e. more stable)? Disregard system support, is one better than the other?

Hi i have a couple of questions about a DIY NAS.. I´m using a legacy PC for the build.. with an ASROCK DUAL SATA2 Mobo So Its safe to install a NAS OS like FreeNAS or similar into a basic USB pen drive? If this thumb drive dies, all my data its lost ? (not the config and ths OS files but the images, docs etc) If i create a RAID, via the Nas OS, and for any raison i broke my config or the USB drive go away... can i bring back the raid or everything its lost.. A Raid PCI Card works aside of the NAS OS Thanks in advance

Hi! First, I apologize if I misworded the title, I'm not fully knowledgeable in this field. Anyway, my SSD probably died 2 days ago. I can't boot to windows, can't reinstall windows, and all I could do was copy things off of it, but other than that it was write protected and I couldn't cancel it in any way. Now, I brought an old hard drive which has Windows 7 on it, so I could at least boot. The drive didn't show in UEFI mode, so I had to change to CSM/legacy to boot from it. The problem is that my keyboard and mouse don't work now. They work in the bios, but as soon as I boot into windows they stop working (they both have lights, and they turn off when starting to boot). I'd appreciate any help regarding this issue. Thank you!

Hello, My specs are intel core i7 11th gen, ram 16 GB, 500 GB SSD, And a intel iris xe grapics. I wan't to install Windows 7 on this hardware but many people have been telling me my hardware is too new and Windows 7 is too old. People are saying it's very likely Windows 7 wont even boot on my system as it won't know what to do with the CPU, Chipset, USB, SSD/HDD Controller or anything else. Please don't tell me to use Windows 10 as I want to use Windows 7. And I also know it has security risks and is End of Support but please do help me. I just want to use Windows 7 on this system. Thanks.

My ultimate aim is to get the hard disk formatted GPT rather than MBR and boot accordingly. The laptop boots from USB as long as "Legacy Support" is enabled in BIOS. When I change this to disabled the laptop won't boot from USB and reports the hard disk error originally mentioned. Note: When "Legacy Support" is disabled in BIOS, the F9 boot screen shows no entries My question is how can I get the laptop to boot in GPT mode from USB to allow me to install windows with GPT partitions?

I am having a problem with my monitor and can't find a possible explanation. I have an old pc i bought from a second hand store running windows 98SE. I use it for old games and testing random stuff. I was able to track down the drivers of every component and the system works perfectly. But when i turn it of via the shutdown menu the screen stays on and the powerbutton is green (on). Pressing the power button does nothing, and none of the menu buttons work. I have also noticed the LCD panel stays on because it keeps radiating a bit of light. It essentially freezes now comes the weird part. If i press the power button of the pc (not the monitor), the monitor goes in standby mode and the turns on again detecting a video signal. I have no idea why this happens and it is pretty annoying having to pull out the power cord when i want to completely turn of the system. note: if i open the bios and turn off the system via the pc powerbutton the screen does shut down. Via the os it doesn't.

I purchased a couple of new hard drives. I flashed to the latest version of the BIOS to 0803 for this mobo from 0303 but the BIOS settings are essentially night and day difference. Loading defaults results in my PC not being bootable. I also have custom RAM settings in the original bios which I tried to change with no difference. I tried contacting Asus support but they remained silent. There's no documentation online whatsoever. The online (and electronic manual) still shows the original BIOS settings not the new one. I tried searching online with no success on what each of the [new] settings do which are not obvious (to me). I'm choked how Asus can offer BIOS updates without documentation to follow.

My PC has an XEON E5-2690 CPU with an X79 motherboard and NVIDIA K2200 Video Card. System uses the American MegaTrends BIOS. I installed Windows 10 without any problems and changed the all of the CSM BIOS settings to UEFI. It was strange because when I tried to Disable CSM, it would show a message saying "CSM can't be Disabled because Video is in Legacy Mode" But this wasn't true - it was set to "UEFI Only". I wasn't sure what to do at that point, so I changed that setting to "UEFI First" Now, when I try to restart the computer - nothing happens. The weirdest part is that I can't even get into BIOS. After pressing the power button, the system stays on the BIOS screen, beeps once (which happens three different times), and then the monitor display simply cuts off. All lights on the PC, keyboard, and mouse turn on and seem to be working normally - but Windows 10 refuses to start. Why is this happening? Did I just brick this motherboard?

Recently I rebuilt my system to swap my motherboard and upgrade my CPU. (MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI and I7-12700K) The system POSTs fine, I have good thermals, and everything is detected, but no matter what I do, my original boot drive (XPG SX8200 M.2) will NOT show up as an option in the boot order. I've noticed my boot mode is greyed out, and locked into UEFI. I think that's the issue, but no matter what I try I absolutely cannot get it to change. I even turned off secure boot, but that didn't unlock the option... I'd really prefer to just be able to boot into my M.2, is there a way through this? (I know in theory I could just make another UEFI-friendly Windows install on a different drive, but I have data on all of my drives :/) OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (I would tell you the version, but I can't check it right now for obvious reasons) CPU: I7-12700K (Base clock) RAM: 4x8 DDR4 LPX Vengance 3200mhz GPU: Gigabyte AORUS Elite RTX 3060 Mobo: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI Storage: ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO M.2 1TB SK Hynix Gold S31 SSD 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM HDD 2TB BIOS:E7E06IMS.110 (09/01/2022)

Each day I am finding out new stuff with my PC, and today that would be Legacy and UEFI. In my motherboard settings I noticed that I had the option for Legacy or UEFI, that was set to legacy. Now should I make a switch to UEFI (I think it is has quicker boot speeds?), and if I do make that change will that wipe my PC of all data?

I have a 2007 macbook kicking around. I really only want to use this thing for the webcam. Record a short video of myself, and copy it to a USB drive. It doesn't appear to have iMovie or QuickTime Pro installed, so those applications won't record video. The "photo booth" app records some video, but sometimes doesn't record the whole thing (cuts the video short). I've tried looking at really old versions of OBS and VLC, but can't get them to work. Is there any software that works with OSX 10.5.8 that can record video? Or should I perhaps try installing Linux to record video? As another note: I no longer have the install media for this macbook, so I can't reinstall the OS if things go sideways. Yeah, it's a really old version of Mac OS, it's a 13 year old laptop, I don't expect much; I just want to squeeze an extra few drops of life out of this thing if I can before it goes to the graveyard.

Hello everybody, so a friend gave his old iPod touch 4th Gen to me yesterday. I might sell it, or jailbreak it to have some fun - or I'll give it to my parents. Now, iOS stopped at 6.1 on that thing, and I found no option to show only compatible apps in the App Store (first time I've used iOS as well). So... is there one? Or do you guys know some "must have" fun stuff, maybe something for Youtube, for example? Cheers, John

Hello everyone, This is my first post to the forums, so I'll do my best. I recently purchased an old gaming PC off one of my friends. Ill list the entire spec sheet below, but what I am mainly interested in is the processor. It has an AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition. Have any of you guys had experience overclocking this processor? What was the best clock you all got? Also, at what voltage did you achieve the overclock? I am running the stock cooler on it at the moment, but will probably buy a Hyper 212 or something along those lines. Thanks for the help! PC Specs: Case: Lian Li PC-101A Silver Mobo: Asus M3N72-D CPU: AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition RAM: 4gb (2x2) Corsair XMS2 DDR2 @1066 Mhz GPU: EVGA 9800GT (Looking to get another one for SLI) Storage: None (I have put a 120gb Crucial M4 SSD in there with windows 10 home) PSU: EVGA 80 Plus 600W (Came with an old Enermax Liberty ELT620AWT, which I took out to put in another system) P.S.: For anyone interested, I bought the PC for 90 dollars.

Hey all, So, I've been trying to upgrade my sister's computer. It's a Dell Inspiron 518 with a Core 2 Duo E7500 and 2Gb of DDR2 I recently learned of the little 771 Xeon trick that makes them compatable with Socket T, and so I bought some more memory and an x5460 to throw in. The problem is, the motherboard HATES this memory. Everytime I try to put a stick in, it beeps at me and doesn't post. The memory I'm trying to use is this: http://txmicro.com/Kingston-KC6844-ELG37-1GB-DDR2-PC2-4200-p-5034.html Somebody please help

Hi guys, Last night i reformatted my pc and i installed windows 10 and its booted via UEFI. And i think its version is the oldest. I can't update my o.s due to internet problems in our isp. so I'm stuck with the old build number. But i found out that i downloaded the windows anniversary update via media creation tool. I just wanna know if i update the windows using the updated that i download using media creation tool will change my windows from booting to UEFI? because last time i did that changed my windows boot from UEFI to Legacy. Can you help me guys? i really appreciate it. Thanks.

So I closed my SSD to my NVMe and even though my NVMe was supposed to be GPT, because my SSD (Win 10 OS) had MBR, it converted the NVMe to MBR. I tried using the mbr2gpt tool in windows\system32 but kept getting an error. After looking deeper into it, I realized it was because my BIOS mode was in legacy (verified in System Information). How do I change this without reinstalling Windows 10 from a USB? I already changed in my motherboard's BIOS from legacy to UEFI but this doesn't seem to affect the BIOS mode in Windows. I'm pretty sure this is all that's preventing me from converting my NVMe from MBR to GPT.

I keep finding myself on this forum one way or another. I picked up a HD 4890 from somebody as they listed it online giving it away so I thought I could give it to my friend who has a 8400GS in his ancient pc.. I'm trying to get it working on my pc for the time being and once installed in my system the display won't fit my 1080p monitor and in trying to fix it, i have uninstalled previous drivers and reinstalled fresh drivers and installed Catalyst Control Panel again to try and fix the 'Catalyst Control Center cannot be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center.' message to no avail. I'd appreciate any help and advice Thanks in advance

Britain's brand new aircraft carrier runs on ... XP
dfsdfgfkjsefoiqzemnd posted a topic in Tech News
Britain's latest aircraft carrier, the £3 billion HMS Queen Elizabeth was launched earlier this week. Reportedly the brand new flagship of the Royal Navy is running some (or maybe all) of its IT on Windows XP and will keep doing so until at least 2026, way beyond the deadline for even XP Embedded/POSready. Source : http://uk.businessinsider.com/queen-elizabeth-aircraft-carrier-is-running-on-windows-xp-2017-6?r=US&IR=T Source 2 : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/27/hms-queen-elizabeth-running-outdated-windows-xp-software-raising/ So to those saying that "if you don't want ransomware etc you should just update to Windows 10", this should indicate that it isn't always that easy. I'm fairly confident that it's not the price of some Win10 licenses that's stopping them from upgrading.
