How come on the mint screenshot it says the drive is only 1tb, did you disable the raid or is it just fully ignoring it? Anyways did you get the raid driver from ASUS' website or AMD DRV_RAID_AMD_RAID_Driver_SZ-TSD_W11_64_V930296_20230706R.zip is directly from ASUS, there are three different inf files that you have to load at the drive selection step (from the NVMe_CC folder).

So, here's a fun one:

 

Windows 11 doesn't like 128gb of RAM.

 

I have reset the BIOS, run a full memtest, it's on the QVE list for my motherboard, and removed my Raid 0 Array, just to confirm this one fact.

 

Linux Mint installs fine, no issues, and sees everything as it should.

 

During the Windows 11 install it says that the error is

 

0xC0000005

 

Which results online say is a memory access violation (no shit!)

 

I have tried the other reported "fix" which is running the media creation tool as admin, to no avail, as well as trying a Rufus & iso install. No dice.

 

So, since it's "working" I want to see if there's an actual fix for this.

 

Happy to help get this completely nailed down.

Take out 3 of the 4 sticks and install then put the sticks back in?

Tried that.

 

Also the "live" swaps (replacing the old RAM with the new set with a live windows install) didnt work either. Windows has the spinny wheel startup but it never resolves (I installed it during my lunch break and it was still spinning 4 hours later after work)

hi the error 0xC0000005  in windows indicates. that has no write permission on it  that is related to a driver for the nvme controller that does not exist in the WIM Image try load all drivers manually. you will need to be in the .inf .cat. and .sys files for each hardware the issue is definitely not regarding RAM

Sorry, I thought the last pic which had the Linux piece showing what some of the specs were was enough to help. My mistake.

 

It's a Ryzen 5800X3D in an Asus X570 Gaming-F (Japanese edition, that Amazon sold because it was during the fun shortage of 2020).

 

It's running 2x Samsung 980 Pros (we'll get back to that in a second)

 

For GPU, it's got an EVGA 3070ti.

 

The memory is Gskill DDR4-3600 item number for the full 128gb set being F4-3600C-18Q-128GTZR

 

Basically this is the "last" upgrade for this system before the next obvious upgrade being "Well, you're upgrading systems"

 

-----------------------------

 

So, part of the fun is that what I would love to do, and why it's the newest BIOS version, is that I was running it in RAID 0 through BIOS NVMe RAID. Mostly as a "If it's crazy, go crazy" thing, and because the only thing on here of note is steam games and "reliable" programs such as the Plex Media player client. (Everything of note is either cloud saved, or saved on my server, which is much more sensibly managed). Recently a BSOD issue due to AMD RAIDXpert2, started being more and more of an issue (as in it started happening one day) so I just bit the bullet, redid the array, updated the BIOS, and reinstalled everything from Scratch and from then it had 0 issues in that configuration.

 

One of the things that's interesting about AMD RAID as opposed to Intel RAID at least in the desktop environment and being BIOS based (and we're talking RAID 1 or RAID 0, so it's not for an enterprise environment or any of that logic) is that Intel RAID generally hides the RAID nature from the OS, as in when you make an array, Windows only sees 1 drive, it never actively sees both of the drives in the Array. In AMD RAID, however, it sees both drives, then you have to manually load the drivers.

 

So, I never switched *back* to being non-RAID for the BIOS, when I was trying this install, and I suspect the main issue is this RAID business.

 

As an aside, is there another source for the RAID drivers from AMD? I got it directly from AMD rather than a board manufacturer, and I was curious if this is either A. a bad download, B. this version of drivers is bad, C. There's some board partner to board partner weirdness that varies.

 

Thanks!

Yes, this was using a Window 11 pro install.

I ignored the RAID for Linux, mostly because it was harder for it to get set up from the live image as opposed to the windows installer.

 

I'll try those files in a bit!
