Delving Deeper into my issues. Really need help!

Either use a spec programm like Aida64 or boot into bios, there should be a version number in there.

I'll reboot and check. In other words BRB  ^_^

[BroKenFingers]

Run the MSI LIVE UPdate5..it should tell you..

[BroKenFingers]

[BroKenFingers]

That is the current BIOS..did you have a look at any of the other drivers..?> anything there an update for what you have..?

Nope. I downloaded the drivers instead of installing them from the disc to get the most up-to-date versions.

[BroKenFingers]

Do you have your manual..?..and if so..do you feel comfortable with changing some function in your BIOS..?

[Muffinator]

I do have my manual and I am open to anything at this point.

Trying this now.

[Muffinator]

There is no auto mode for DVMT Memory. It only has three setting which are 128MB 256MB and Maximum. It is set at 256MB.

 

As for the HD Audio Controller... I couldn't find it in the settings.

 

And I turned off the port thingy.

 

Still getting Code 12.

Just read the first sentence and can tell this is going to help. I moved my hard drive from an AMD laptop to my new build with the 3570k. Will keep you posted.

I am unable to find "AMD PCI Express (3GIO) Filter Driver"

[BroKenFingers]

..it is not listed in the system devices tab..? :huh:

What AMD listings are there..?

[Muffinator]

Can't find anything with AMD in the name....

[BroKenFingers]

Read the post from Scott  and follow what he did..at this stage we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

.3GIO-PCI? did not exist but your advice lead to the real solution. It seems your right the PCI driver is the problem !! My driver list claims the right driver “Intel” is installed and yes the T530 Lenovo is an Intel MoBo and chip. However thanks to system deployment services the standard PCI driver from Intel was toast, but installed anyway. So I right clicked on the PCI device [in the managers list] and selected update/local machine area/”Let Me Select Drive” and only 2 compatible drivers showed up. The Intel still didn’t work. But the second time around I selected the “Microsoft PCI Driver” and WALA NO MORE ERROR CODE 12. So It matters not that it’s a 3GIO brand driver what matters is change “What-ever” is present to something else, in my case it was Microsoft’s driver that fixed it. Why doesn’t installing the proper “Chipset” driver fix this, I still blame Lenovo for this silliness.

I can't find any PCI drivers. The only thing I have is "PCI Bus"

[Muffinator]

THis?

 

EDIT: My Print Screen won't work in this sorry.

 

Anyways, I figured out what he was trying to say and I did get two options: HD 4000 and Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Now what?

[BroKenFingers]

Look for PCI standard host cpu bridge...right click and choose properties..tab over to DRIVER and check that it is MIcrosoft and not INTEL..

[BroKenFingers]

I think it would be OK to remove the HD4000 driver..just make sure you  click the remove driver files..

[Muffinator]

I think it would be OK to remove the HD4000 driver..just make sure you  click the remove driver files..

So I changed the driver to the VGA one but I forgot to uninstall the HD 4000. So now I need to change it back to HD 4000 so I can uninstall it then change it back to VGA?

[BroKenFingers]

Nope..just uninstall the HD4000 and keep the VGA
