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?

Hi all, Basically this has been a recurring thing and basically can't really get my head around it now. Basically when I'm using my pc my tpm will stop i guess being enabled..? Unfortunately when I run tpm.msc in the run command box it brings me an error code 'Cannot load management console' (picture linked below) but it's a bit hit and miss. I have tried disabling and renabling but still no luck even swapping the cmos battery. Does anyone else have any help for why or how to fix this?

Hi, I want to update my old Samsung Evo 250GB SSD (Main drive running Win11, upgraded from 10) to a new 2TB Samsung 980 Pro. I want to do a fresh install of Win11. No other hardware chanced. The new drive has been initialized with a GPT partition (new volume) and upgraded to the latest firmware, rev 5-something using Samsung magician. Drive health and benchmarking looks good. The Bios on my Asus Z370A has been updated to the latest version 3004, Multicore enhancement > Disabled, XMP>Disabled, TPM > Firmware TPM. Now I get the error: "This PC can't run Windows 11" What could be wrong here, this PC ran win11 before, the only thing that changed is the SSD and a bios update? I tried "discrete TPM", but the system just restarts twice and auto-reverts back to firmware TPM - obviously. Also tried enabling XMP and multicore enhancement just in case to reduce variables. Thanks

As you can see, multiple events of TPM non-recoverable error. What could be the reason behind it. Any possible fixes.?

Does Ubuntu (and official flavors) support disk encryption that'll automatically unlock using the device's TPM module? Would it be possible to do that during install? What's the best, pain-free, tool to use if I wanna do it post-install (preferably GUI-based)? And what are the conditions required in order to require the user to unlock it with a password? With Windows, we got Bitlocker, and that has the option to use TPM to automatically unlock the drive at boot, unless there's a change in BIOS/UEFI. I have a 4th gen Lenovo X1 Yoga, running on Kubuntu. Planning on reinstalling it with Btrfs or ZFS as the primary file system.

More and more people seem to be having this issue, so I feel the need to spread the word. Enabling the 'firmware TPM' causes system wide stuttering on a growing number of AMD based PC's, both on Windows 10 and Windows 11. In most cases these stutters last roughly 1-2 seconds, and happen about 3-4 times a day. Regardless of what programs are running. My current build has the AMD RYZEN 9 5950X + ASUS PRIME X570-P, with all the latest software and drivers installed. This is, however, my 4th consecutive PC with this issue over the last 12 months. I've managed to capture one of these stutters while streaming, here's what it looked like: https://youtu.be/TYnRL-x6DVI Having a TPM is a requirement for Windows 11, and apparently without it your system has a chance of not installing Windows Updates properly. However, sometimes the fTPM can also be automatically enabled on Windows 10 through updates. You can easily find out if it's enabled by typing 'tpm.msc' in the Windows Run command window. From my experience the best two solutions for now are to roll back to Windows 10 (if you're on Windows 11) so you can disable fTPM safely, or to buy a discrete TPM module which slots into your motherboard. (EDIT: Unfortunately, some users have reported that installing a discrete TPM module does not get rid of the stutters. Your best bet would be to disable the fTPM instead.) In my case, I've rolled back to Windows 10 and disabled the fTPM. No more stutters have happened since. Other users have reported no problems with installing updates with the fTPM disabled on Windows 11, there is however no guarantee this will stay this way. Even though my stutters are gone, this does not tackle the problem at its roots. I believe this needs to be adressed through software updates, by motherboard manufacturers and AMD. I have yet to see anyone figure out what the actual underlying cause is of this issue. I do want to clarify that I'm not an expert, I'm simply trying to shine a light on this issue that seemingly a lot of people are dealing with. I don't have the tools or the time to prove the actual underlying cause of this issue, I just want to share my experience on how I fixed it for myself. Please keep in mind if you are planning to disable the TPM -- If you are using BitLocker, make sure you have your encryption key handy. You will probably need it.

Hello everyone! I am getting ready to upgrade my Ryzen 7 3700X to a Ryzen 7 5800X on my Asus X570 ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Wi-Fi motherboard. I had the firmware TPM 2.0 enabled on the 3700X, but I already turned it off to prepare for the swap. I also disabled bitlocker on my C: drive just to make sure there wasn't any issues on that end (using Win10 atm). I want to know if it is necessary (or just easier) to disable Secure Boot as well before upgrading? The only changes I am making is to put the new 5800X in and install a waterblock on my RTX 3080 to complete my loop. I looked at a couple older threads with similar questions, but couldn't find a clear answer. Thanks in advance for the help!

does HP Omen 16-b0351TX have tpm 2.0 ? Because the website does not specify it. Will I be able to upgrade to windows 11? BTW I am from india.

Pretty much what the title says. I have a TPM module slot in the board, and I was thinking of just buying a TPM Module and upgrade my computer to W11. Thing is, I'm not sure that even if I do buy it, if it will be supported. My Specs: GPU: GTX 1070 CPU i7 4790k Motherboard: ASUS Maximus Hero VII

Help!! Pc won't boot after the boot drive partition was converted from mbr to gpt to enable tpm. After the conversion and reboot, the dbug led is jumping back and forth from dram to gpu to cpu but sometimes is only on dram, and the pc wont give any image. Tried to reset the cmos, but it didn't work. The mobo has two bios chips, but there is no way to switch between them.

Hi everyone. Due to the new update of the valorant anti cheat, a friend of mine needed to enable tpm 2.0 and secure boot, once the computer restarted it showed black screen and no POST, so we tried to unplug the cable from the power, turn off the power supply from the switch, remove the CMOS battery for 30 seconds and put it back, once restarted nothing has changed. So we tried to remove the battery for about 30 minutes and reset the CMOS from the clr_cmos jumper. Always black screen. Any type of help is appreciated. Specs: CPU: Intel i5-8400F GPU: XFX RX 570 8GB RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 MOBO: H310m S2H 2.0 SSD & HDD.

Hi! I would love to get some input on this. Does anyone else experience reliability issues with fTPM on AMD platforms? Before I switched to a dedicated TPM chip, my fTPM would sometimes (it happened about twice a month or so) get corrupted for no apparent reason and had to be reset during boot. I usually noticed because Windows Hello stopped working. And yes, I did check for malware but all scans from both Windows Defender and Malwarebytes came up with no results. In case it might be relevant, this is on a Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming 3 mainboard and a Ryzen 7 3700X. Has anyone had similar experiences? I would love to know more about this.

I know there are a number of people here talking about Windows 11 and the TMP requirement. But for the less educated like me, aside from Microsoft demanding TMP, why would I as a game player, forum poster, want or need this TPM Then if a good argument is made for TMP I gather there was a hardware add on to the motherboard version and a software change in the bios version. But which is actually better, secure, you know I haven't a clue here?

Greetings, i recently upgraded to win11 using a fTPM module in my ryzen 5 3600, is there any thing i should be careful on like closing fTPM on bios or updating it, removing/changing CPU or the CMOS battery? If i should be careful on any subject, can somebody fully explain to me how and why i should be careful on it? As an added question, can i just plug the ssd or hdd i use out and insert them to another pc and see it working without the same CPU, MB or anything?

So since you will need TPM 2.0 for Windows 11 I had to read up on what it is and not all the things are clear yet. Do you guys know if you can move HDD or SSD between two PCs if its enabled? For example, operating sys dies, and I cannot boot into Windows and I have to reinstall it. In the past when this happened I just took the SSD out and plugged it into my second PC to save all the data and then I proceeded to reinstall windows. Will I still be able to do this or not?

Hello. I wanted to see if my pc supports windows 11 so I installed the heath check app, ran it and it told me that my pc doesn't support it. which is really weird cause i do meet the system requirement: My PC: Ryzen 5 3600 MSI RX 5500XT 4GB OC 16gb 3200mhz ram Asrock B450M steel legend with the latest bios I have TPM enabled (called Security device support on asrock boards) secure boot on but the weird thing is that when I type "tpm.msc" in the run I get: " Compatibility TPM cannot be found" "Compatibility TPM cannot be found on this computer. Verify that this computer has a 1.2 TPM or later and it is turned on in the BIOS" Please help me cause I don't know what I'm supposed to do know I've updated windows 10 to the latest version available and I've looked everywhere for help and couldn't find anything.

Hi, I notice that my motherboard does not have an integrated tpm chip but it does have a tpm connector. The motherboard in question is H170M-PLUS from ASUS. The problem is that in my country I couldn't find the asus tpm chip but I did find a single gigabyte chip (Gc-tpm2.0s) and is 14-1 pin like my connector... (the manual do not specify chip model) so my questions are: 1) Is this chip compatible even if it is not from the same brand? 2) is this chip the required by windows 11? H170M-PLUS manual

So I'm still running AMD FX (yes I know), and I'll be wanting to upgrade to Windows 11 when it drops. But we know that Windows 11 is a picky so and so... The main caviat to this (as well as the fact that my system is outdated on a hardware level), is that my motherboard does not have a TPM header. I'm running the Asus M5A97 LE R2.0. Make note of the fact it's the 'LE' model, as the non 'LE' model (Asus M5A97 R2.0) does in fact sport the TPM header, down by the USB headers - on mine this a blank. I'm not going to find a used motherboard with the header - the system is not worth spending money on. I just thought I'd vent a bit, as I'm happy enough running this PC for now and would like to upgrade it to Windows 11 if I had the opportunity. It's still a perfectly usable machine for what I do (light casual gaming, Office 365, Chrome) - meaning that it's up to date in regard to software. Think of the e-waste produced if everyone threw away their non-TPM compatible machines. I'm aware that Windows 10 still has another 4 years of offical support, and by that time I'll have another machine. But... in the meantime, it's still nice to have the illusion of being up do date, by at least being able to experience the latest software. Who knows, Windows 11 might actually extend the usable life span of this system if any of the gaming tests on the Dev build are anything to go by. I'd like to know if anyone can relate, as I'm hoping that Microsoft will rethink their approach - especially since most custom built PC's will require the purchase of a TPM module (another thing that will be out of stock and scalped).

Hey, does the x3450 support TPM 1.2 or 2.0? I am curious because i am thinking about upgrading to windows 11 in the pursuable future, (currently i am rocking an gigabyte p55m ud2,an i5 750, which does not support any kind of tpm). Thanks for the answers

Hi all! I was trying to prepare my laptop for Windows 11 (even tough my CPU won't be supported officially), and at first the PC Health Check app said my PC won't be able to run it. I checked if I have TPM enabled, and it was, so naturally I checked Secure Boot, which was turned off. I turned it on, and now I don't have TPM enabled, the TPM Manager Tool says it "cannot load management console", with an error code 0x90080029. If i turn off Secure Boot, then TPM is still unavailable with the same error code. If I reset the BIOS, TPM works again, and Secure Boot is turned off. (Though whynotwin11 states SB is supported, it is turned off) Now the unfortunate problem is that I don't have any kind of settings in the BIOS to set TPM on or off. Can you guys think of any kind of answer or troubleshoot for it? It would be appreciated a lot! Laptop info: Model: Asus GL502VT BIOS version is 3.0.3 up to date as of 2019/06 If you need any more information hit me up! And thanks in advance! P.S.: I won't install Windows 11 before it comes out later this year/early 2022, as this is my only PC for work and gaming, but I wan't to be prepared.

Hey, so i enabled Ftpm on my x470 master sli mobo with ryzen 5 2600x. Is there any risk if i disable the tpm in my bios? Will my bootdrive be bootable if i do it? And generally speaking, are there any limitations with tpm enabled?(e.g.: cant change mobo or cpu,need to back up keys/erase them and so on..) Thanks a lot for the help!

First time to ask here after asking on few forums before. As Windows 11 start to requires TPM (at least fTPM), we should enable TPM in order to able installing Windows 11. But when I ask my friend to turn on fTPM on his PC in order to get Windows 11 support, he don't want it as it affect performance. He said the point is that security features can sacrifice CPU performance just like DRM in video games, he give me an example from AC: Odyssey both with (Uplay version) and without DRM (GOG version) comparison and the result is AC: Odyssey with DRM has FPS reduction up to 20% compared with GOG version that without DRM. So the question is, does enabling fTPM from CPU sacrifice performance just like DRM or not like Meltdown or Spectre mitigations does? If doesn't, explain why while fTPM works on CPU level? But why DRM affects performance? Hope you can explain that so my friend can trust fTPM just like trust the vaccine, sorry for my bad English. Thanks!

With Windows 11 just recently announced, Microsoft has listed the requirements for the new OS. One of the requirements is the need for a TPM 2.0 module. This has cause a massive buyout of that module and caused a sky rocket in price. Turns out a TPM 2.0 module may not be required after all, if you're Windows 11 has to be specialized. Based on this, it seems TPM really isn't a necessary requirement to run Windows 11, but there are no words, whether or not the OS will install, if you manage to get a hold of these specialized no TPM Win11 ISO, on a CPU that isn't on the supported list.

Would there be any advantage to adding a discreteTPM module to a motherboard that has ftpm firmware enabled?
