I decided to start recording the games that I play with my friends and post them for other people to enjoy! Plus a few other random things from time to time, including PC tech related videos.
Stupid ftpm locked me out of my system after bios update.. I thought I had it disabled. HWy one earth would youwant it ENABLED. It is the worst thing ever. I have to buy a new mobo now. Never updating firmware again and turning this crap off as soon as I get a new one.
I am not sure how fTPM locked you out of your system, unless you are running an OS that requires the key that is generated from motherboard/CPU when fTPM is enabled. There are many reasons someone would want fTPM enabled, example Windows 11 requires it. There are people who run Windows 10 PRO and in order to use all the features of the OS, you will need to have it enabled. Depending on your motherboard and what firmware you updated it to, its possible the manufacture of the motherboard had that version of the BIOS update automatically update certain things in the motherboard BIOS (fTPM for example) to work with Windows 11, this is a very common thing as of late. What is your issue you are running into exactly? Can't get to the BIOS, can't get into your OS or something else?
@@Bananabrain_xmf I was running linux on an nvme drive that used to be used for windows ten. All was fine until I decided to update the bios on my asus X570 mobo. Then I got the fTPM "hit Y or N" message. I hit Y and it sent me back to the bios. I just hit save and restart, then from that point foward, it just keeps posting with a message saying to "press f1 for settings." I do that and it sends me back into the bios. I installed linux again and it says it installed succsessfully, and to restart the pc. then it just goes back to the same "press f1 for settings". I tried to turn off fTPM but cant even see how. It just gives me "firmware or descrete" option, but no TURN OFF option. And I even clicked rest the keys, since then. I went crazy and started messing with everyting after that so it is probably hopeless now.
@@RandomPickles So when you originally set up Linux on this PC, was the BIOS in UEFI or CSM/Legacy? When you go into the BIOS, does it show your boot drive as a bootable drive? If your BIOS is in UEFI currently (which sounds like it is since it enabled fTPM) and your boot drive isn't showing up, try switching the BIOS to CSM/Legacy, depending on the format of your boot drive, it can become "invisible" to your motherboard when it attempts to boot. The reason it asked about the fTPM settings is more than likely related to the BIOS/firmware update you did changing the default settings from what you had them set as and this will cause fTPM keys to change/be voided. I personally have ran into this issue when doing a BIOS update with Windows 11 installed, usually only causes a license issue, that is normally easy to resolve. One option for the BIOS, if it did in fact change a large amount of settings, would be to clear the CMOS, easiest way would be to turn of the PC and remove the small battery for a few minutes and then reinstall it or if your motherboard has a clear CMOS button you could use that as well.
@Bananabrain_xmf So yeah, turns out that for some reason, after updating the bios and hitting YES on the ftpm warning, the motherboard rebooted and changed settings that I did not even know existed on the old bios, that automatically freezes bootup and for es you to press f1 if any 'errors' arise. The reason I kept getting the 'hit f1 to enter setup' loop, was due to a fan controller not being detected. I knew of this issue for two years. It was not a real problem. But the movo decided it was going to lock me out anyways. Had to go in and turn off the option of pressing f1 on error, off. It only set itself like this after hitting yes on the ftpm warning, and not before, when hitting 'no'. So stupid. Thanks for trying to help man! Point taken. NEVER UPDATE BIOS EVER
@@RandomPickles I am glad you got it figured out, I will say that never update the BIOS ever isn't really the best advice, depending on your motherboard and other components attached to it, there can be stability, security and compatibility issues that can be fixed by updating the BIOS. Of course most people and motherboard manufactures typically say only update the BIOS if you need to, its one of those if it ain't broke, don't fix it situations.
YOU ARE LITERALLY THE BEST, EVEN 3 YEARS LATER YOU HELPED ME WHEN OTHER VIDEOS COULDNT DO ANYTHING TO HELP. I THOUGHT I WAS IN TROUBLE IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU THANK YOU
This video is intended to be used with AMD CPUs, however, your motherboard being based on an Intel CPU, the steps should be similar. But there maybe some settings labeled differently or located in different menus and sub menus. Este video está diseñado para usarse con CPU AMD; sin embargo, como su placa base está basada en una CPU Intel, los pasos deberían ser similares. Pero es posible que haya algunas configuraciones etiquetadas de manera diferente o ubicadas en diferentes menús y submenús.
Bro i tried it for so long and it doesent work and then i saw your totorial and it just wors bro i love you thank you so much i want a child from you finally i can play valorant, lol etc. thank you so much i werent for long that happy bro i kiss your nut
If you switched from CSM to UEFI, then more than likely your boot drive is formatted as MBR and not GPT. If that is the case, you will either need to run the MBR2GPT tool in windows to convert the drive or do a fresh installation of windows with the BIOS in UEFI.
When I do this my monitor goes blank even without doing anything to other settings My mobo is Asus tuf b450 gaming plus Ram 16gb single kit with 3000mhz Help me bro please 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Which CPU are you using? That almost sounds like your memory controller on your CPU isn’t stable with that RAM configuration. Do you have the RAM in the correct slot on the motherboard? I am not sure which slot is the correct one for a single RAM stick on your motherboard, so you would have to check the manual for your board.
@@Bananabrain_xmf ok SO I've read the manual but I still don't understand one bit i mean where should I put my ram, is it DIMM_A1, DIMM_A2, DIMM_B1 OR DIMM_B2
@@thelucifer20 Your CPU shouldn’t have any issues running that RAM speed, as for what I mean by the RAM slot is every motherboard is either going to have two slots or four slots for RAM. So if your board has four slots, they should be to the right side of your CPU/CPU cooler. Typically most AMD boards they will be labeled (left to right from the CPU) DIMMA1, DIMMA2, DIMMB1, DIMMB2. Typically if you have one stick of RAM it will go into slot DIMMA2, then if you had a second stick of RAM, it would go into slot DIMMB2. However, I am not sure on your motherboard if it has two slots or four slots and how the manufacture labeled the RAM slots on the board and I don’t know which slots are meant to be populated first. I can take a look when I get a chance and see if I can find that information on your board and try to help you out!
@@Bananabrain_xmf it would be a big help bro and can I ask you some other pc related question, it's just that i don't have anyone who I could talk to about these things near my home
If you changed your BIOS from CSM to UEFI, then it sounds like your boot drive is formatted as MBR and not GPT. If that is the case you will either need to run the MBR2GPT tool in windows to convert the drive, then change the BIOS to UEFI or keep the BIOs with the current settings and then do a fresh installation of windows.

I have a problem when i go to the ai overclock tuner only mnaual and Auto no DOCP it doesnt show DOCP i cant activate it my ram is on 3200mhz standard its on 2666
Unlikely, the process in this video is meant for getting a PC ready for Windows 11. Do you get an error code when it crashes and is it just crashing the game or is it straight blue screening? Is this happening on multiple games or just one?
@@Bananabrain_xmf multiple games, multiple error codes 041 is the most common, kernel power errors etc. some times bsod, other times just random restarts.
@@-YokoOno Is this a laptop or a desktop? That error code is typically associated with a power failure (shut down error, etc..). Have you tried doing a repair or reinstall of your Windows installation?
That is an odd one, I have had a few people comment saying this has happened to them. When you say the peripherals aren’t working, is it just in the BIOS or Windows or both? Have you tried moving the usb connection to a different port(s) on the PC?
I am assuming you are planning to install an OS? Just set the BIOS up like the video, then when you install you bootable media (usb drive with the windows installation), it will be in UEFI, secure boot will be enabled along with TPM.
Sounds like the memory controller on your CPU isn’t able to handle the RAM overclock. Another option besides using the XMP settings, is to manually set the RAM timings and speed to match the XMP. Sometimes manually setting it will allow it to be stable. Does it BSOD with XMP off? What error does it give you when it crashes?
@@Bananabrain_xmf I think I found the issue. I'm using 6400 mhz ram with a 7600x, most likely resulting in the crashes. It does not bsod with the a-xmp profile off.
@@kougas7124 I haven't messed with the 7000 series AMD CPUs and DDR5 yet, but I do know that AMD can have some issues with anything over 6000 mhz and not being certified for AMD shouldn't be an issue, but I know I have read online that have AMD certified/compatible RAM would be the safer way to do it. Also depends on if you are trying to run two sticks or four sticks of RAM.
If you already have an OS installed and your BIOS is set to CSM, you will either need to run the MBR2GPT tool in windows to convert the drive, then go into the BIOS and switch it to UEFI or do a fresh installation of Windows with the BIOS in UEFI. If your boot drive is GPT and the BIOS is UEFI. Then you will need to make sure TPM is enabled and secure boot is enabled.
Hard to say for sure, since there are a few variations of the BIOS, are you able to see the option to change the RAM profile in EZ mode? Is this a prebuilt, laptop or custom built PC?
Hard to say for sure, there are variations of the MSI motherboard BIOS, since you have TPM 1.2, I am going to assume this is an older motherboard and CPU. Is this an AMD or Intel board?
@@Bananabrain_xmf thanks man, btw I got a msi h170a gaming pro so you’re pretty spot on about the motherboard being old. The last update it had was from 2015 lol
@@marcoruiz5864 Yeah that board is from the 6th-7th gen intel CPUs, so for sure on the older side of things. But hey if it works for your needs, then no point in letting it go to waste!
I have a click msi 4 and i dont have any of those setting, i do have a secure boot setting in windows 8 config but its gray and i cannot change it to enable.
@@Bananabrain_xmf i did all the right steps regarding bios but i asked a pc guy and he said i need at least ddr4 for me to enable tpm 2.0 but i had ddr3 and he said there was no way, i could only do it if i changed ram, motherboard and cpu to ddr4. If its true you should put that in your video because i searched for so long without knowing what the problem is.
If I get a chance, I can look into making a video on that, but for the moment I don't have a lot spare time and I would have to look into doing that prior to making the video. I will make a note of it and see if I can make something work in the future.
@@oskrto-PC I am not 100% sure, most people (myself included) aren’t trying to disable it. But you can trying switching the OS type under secure boot and see if that disables it. You can also clear the CMOS by removing the battery from the motherboard for a few minutes. That will wipe the BIOS back to the default settings.
Hope you see this comment. My PC says its in UEFI mode in msinfo32, but my boot drive is mbr. Is it safe to disable launch csm in bios and change my secure boot to uefi mode not other os ? I need help 🙏🙏
That is odd that it shows that, yes it is safe to switch your BIOS settings, you won’t magically brick anything by doing this. However, there is a chance you won’t be able to boot back into Windows after changing the BIOS, since your boot drive format is MBT. Which would mean you need to switch the BIOS back to the way it was and see about converting the drive to GPT.
Hey man! I'm trying to load windows to my PC through a usb flash drive, but when I go in to the Boot menu in the BIOS (Asus Bios, looks the same as yours) i only get hard drive options for the boot priority sequence. There is no flash/usb device option. I read somewhere that this might be because secure boot is enabled, which it is in my PC. So I'm trying to disable secure boot, but the option is completely grayed out and does not let me click on it or disable the secure boot. Any ideas on what I should try? My PC currently has windows 10 but the damn thing stopped accepting my password at login (which I am 100% sure is correct), so that's why I'm trying to install windows again from a usb stick. Thank you, and regards!
Well for starters, is your usb drive formatted and have the Windows media on it (you can download the installer from Microsoft for free and it will set up and format the usb drive correctly)? Second, when you boot your PC, one of the options before going into Windows should be to load the boot options, example would be hitting F2 to go to the BIOS and F12 to load bootable media options (this one would open up outside of the BIOS). I personally have never heard of secure boot causing this issue, but I haven't ran into this issue yet either. Typically if secure boot is greyed out, its because the BIOS is set to CSM/Legacy and not UEFI, the BIOS has to be in UEFI mode in order for secure boot to be enabled. If you have a Microsoft account linked to that PC, you should be able to reset the log in password through your Microsoft account from the the log in screen of the PC, assuming it is connected to the account and internet.
What does Windows say when you check for compatibility? Sometimes it takes a few days after switching the settings in the BIOS before it will update properly. You are 100% sure the BIOS is in UEFI and you have the fTPM (TPM) and secure boot enabled in the BIOS?
Sounds like your boot drive is format as MBR and not GPT. If that is the case, you will either need to run the MBR2GPT tool in Windows to convert the drive, then go back to the BIOS and follow the settings in the video or keep the BIOS as you currently have it and do a fresh installation of Windows.
@@Bananabrain_xmf so, to convert from mbr to gpt, you just have to back up the data from your computer and reinstall Windows, and then switch to gpt via the command line and upload the data, do I understand this correctly?
@@sakulj9794 well not exactly, backing up your data is a always a good idea when doing anything with drives. In order to run the MBR2GPT tool, you need to be in windows, so you would leave your BIOS in CSM. Boot into windows, run via the command prompt, then go back to the BIOS and switch to UEFI and go back into windows. The other option is, set the BIOS to UEFI and just wipe the drive via a fresh installation of windows.
@@Bananabrain_xmf perchance do you know how to fix secure boot, mine isnt working and i dont even know why and i cant play my favorite game with it disabled
@@MrYe3T Well without knowing the exact issues you were running into, in order to enable secure boot, you will need the BIOS in UEFI mode. So if its in CSM/Legacy now, then you can't have secure boot enabled. If your BIOS is already set up correctly and secure being enabled was the issue, you could try resetting the motherboard by removing the battery for a few minutes (with the PC off and unplugged), that will reset it and then you can go back in and redo the BIOS settings.
@@Bananabrain_xmf thanks ill try it when my brother comes back since he knows more abt pc's than me and he cant trust me near the pc unless im playing something
Fixed, i needed to change screen! I think this operation created some kind of problem with the gpu and with normal boot. My problem is still there. But thanks anyway
