    ASRock Z690 PG Riptide motherboard not working

    It has to be seen, of course, but the symptoms seem a lot like those of a defective PSU and/or of an issue with one of the disks.

    The idea - more or less - is that during boot all devices are powered at the same time and there is a "absorption peak" at the PSU.

    Even if hard disk motors are (should be) of types that minimize the initial start current, they will anyway need a supplemental amount of power when spinning up.

    In multi-hdd builds (with a much larger amount of disks) staggered spin-up is used normally, see:

    https://www.45drives.com/blog/storage/staggered-spinup-and-its-effect-on-power-draw/

    Besides there could have been a problem on the bearing of the disk.

    Basically when a disk stays unused/not powered for a length of time, the bearing(s) of the motor (and platters) may be opposing a much higher resistance to initial spinning, thus attempting to draw much more current from the PSU, usually this condition is temporary and resolves by itself, as the lubricants/fluids in the bearings start heating and circulating again.

    I would test anyway the PSU, but the common, el-cheapo CPU testers around only detect (and/ or measure) the voltage on the various rails/connectors which may be just fine without load, but drop when the load suddenly increases so that test might not be conclusive.

     

    Well, it worked for a while. But now it doesn’t work again.

    UPDATE: Unplugged everything (USB, headphones, HDMI), now it works.

    Hi,

     

    I have an ASRock Z690 PG Riptide motherboard, and I am trying to turn on my PC. However, when I tried to do it at first, it didn’t work and flashes green at the BIOS flashback area. Eventually after switching PSU cables it finally started working (idk how it started working exactly), but then I installed a 500 GB HDD and an 80 GB HDD, and now it doesn’t work anymore. This is my build list (I got a different GPU, but i’s still an RTX 4070) https://newegg.io/8f3ca36, also an additional 4 TB HDD is connected, and I have a 1200 W power supply and not a 750 W one. 

     

    This is what’s going on:

    Idk why this is happening. Could it be a voltage issue, like could my outlet not have enough voltage?

    Hi,

    On my gaming PC when I try to start a VM on VMWare Pro 16 I get a BSOD. I get: EXCEPTION_ON_ INVALID STACK BSOD. I've enabled everything needed for virtualization in BIOS. This is my build list (I got a different GPU, but it’s still an RTX 4070) https://newegg.io/8f3ca36. I have an ASrock Z690 PG Riptide motherboard (here's the manual: https://download.asrock.com/Manual/Z690 PG Riptide.pdf). How do I fix this?

    No. He didn't installed 98 on FreeDOS, he only used FreeDOS as a bootdisk (like we all have done in the past) to install 98 which comes with its MS-DOS version... 

    Currently is only possible to install 3.1 on FreeDOS, that's why I'm asking if you succeed with chicago.

     

    Yea I just tried it. I tried running it without switches and with the /I and /id switch. It complained about not finding a valid MS-DOS partition

    Is it possible to install Windows 2000 on a Dell Latitude 5490?

    Only throwing things on the wall and see if anything sticks but for what it costs I would try both: 

    [Keyboard]
kbdhid   = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid
USB      = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid

    and: 

    [Keyboard]
STANDARD = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid
kbdhid   = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid
USB      = "USB Keyboard",files.kbdhid,kbdhid

    and see what happens, though I remember seeing a lot of people having issues with attempts to install 2K with only USB mouse and keyboard on more modern hardware.

    I don't think a "working for all" solution exists, maybe - if you *somehow* manage to workaround the error - some "fully unattended setup" you may get past the text mode and hve later in the GUI a fully working keyboard, but cannot really say.

    Search on the board for related posts by bluebolt and tomasz86, they did a lot of work attempting to workaround similar USB keyboard issues, maybe some of those posts can provide some inspiration.

    Ok so both changes gave me a BSOD. The first one gave me 0x01E, the second one gave me 0x07B.

    Windows 98 on Dell Latitude 5490

    This is Windows 98, running natively on a Dell Latitude 5490, a Kaby Lake machine. Windows 98 was surprisingly easy to install, basically what I did was install MS-DOS 7.1, replace himem.sys with xmgr.sys, install 98, change some values in system.ini and replaced himem.sys with xmgr.sys. I installed VBEMP but no HDA sound, there is a driver for that but I was unable to get it working. I've also gotten Windows ME working (all I did was upgrade 98 to ME).

    ...in FreeDos, and if FD isn't patched Win3x will only work in Standard Mode

    youtu . be / R0P8B9d9hho

    anyway, interesting :)

    I think it's possible to patch it to run 3.1 in enhanced mode

    can you try to boot an early chicago build? https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_95

    well I'm interested in 81 https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_95_build_81 since it's the first one to have the start menu and the close button

     

    I’ve gotten Windows 98 and ME working. I will try Chicago 81 and 95 in a bit.

    Mobo not turning on with new PSU

    in Hardware Hangout

    Posted · Edited by GD 2W10

    Hello,

     

    I am trying to build a PC.This is my build list (I got a different GPU, but it’s still an RTX 4070) https://newegg.io/8f3ca36

    I realized that the power supply (750 W) enough as my GPU wouldn’t work. I got this new 1200 W power supply: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1JKK1YZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_gT6CYj3Y6f6Iq

    When I try to turn on everything, nothing happens. Usually with my old PSU the logo would glow up, but nothing happens. I am sure everything is connected. What should I do?

    Windows XP on Surface Pro 1

    in Windows XP 64 Bit Edition

    Posted · Edited by GD 2W10

    I have managed to install Windows XP on a UEFI Class 3 Surface Pro 1. I believe I am the first to do this. The Surface Pro 1 only officially supports Windows 8-10, but I have gotten 7 and Vista to work, and now XP.
     

    I’ve gotten WiFi to work with an adapter. I haven’t gotten graphics or audio working yet.

    Here is the showcase video:  

    Special thanks to George King, as I used his XP2ESD tool to install Windows XP on this laptop. Also thanks to UsefulAGKHelper for his method of installing XP on UEFI Class 3.

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. Boot the USB. This ISO uses a Windows 10 PE, but has a Windows XP x64 install.wim.
    2. Open command prompt by pressing "Shift+F10"
    3. On the command prompt, type in the following commands:
    diskpart
    sel dis 0
    clean
    conv gpt
    cre par efi size=100
    form quick fs=fat32
    assign letter w
    cre par pri
    form quick
    assign letter c
    exit
    D:\ (where your USB is)
    cd sources
    dism /apply-image /imagefile:install.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\
     - If DISM doesn't work, go to D:\support\tools\gimagex and deploy the image with gimagex.exe in the x64 folder
    4. Open up Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to "D:\EFI partition". Copy the EFI folder onto W:\ (the boot partition)
    5. Go back to Command Prompt. Type in "D:\support\tools\Bootice\BOOTICEx64.exe"
    6. On Bootice, go to the BCD tab. Click on "Other BCD file". Click on the "...". Go to the BCD file (you can find this in W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot). Click on "Professional Mode".
    7. Click on "Windows XP" under "Application Objects"
    8. Under "ApplicationDevice" and "OSDevice", set the boot disk to wherever your XP installation is (most likely disk 0) and the boot part to C:\ (your Windows XP partition).
    **Every time XP boots, it will always show the boot manager. You can turn it off on Bootice by going to the BCD tab and opening the XP BCD and clicking "Easy Mode", then uncheck "Display boot menu".
    9. Reboot.  You should be logged in to the Administrator account. If the screen is not displaying anything, you need to reset the resolution. Hit Windows Key + R, and type in desk.cpl. Hit "tab" four times, hit the right arrow four times, hit "tab" once, hit the right arrow once. Then press enter. The screen should now display.

    USB works on Windows XP. There are no WiFi drivers. You will need to purchase a seperate USB wireless adapter. Also, I have not been able to get sound working on the machine. Getting a USB sound card might fix that.
