Delete if not allowed. About to start an RMA process for my GPU. How is the process for any that have gone through this hell. Timeline? Will i have to fight tooth and nail to get the warranty followed though? Thanks! And btw it was a nvlddvmkm error 153 causing TDR recovery timeouts. I ran MemTestCl and found about 5000 errors on my vram.

I just built my first PC with the help of a friend who is more knowledgeable than I, and I'm *almost* to what I'd call a success but the two issues in the title have stumped both of us.

Here's the hardware (copy pasted from my order since I don't really know how much of these titles are relevant), all of it is brand new within the last 2 weeks:

• AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D - Ryzen 7 9000 Series Zen 5 8-Core 5.2 GHz - Socket AM5 120W - AMD Radeon Graphics Desktop Processor - 100-100001084WOF
• GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 AM5 LGA 1718, ATX, DDR5, 4x M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB4, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5GbE LAN, EZ-Latch
• CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop Memory Model CMH32GX5M2E6000C36
• GIGABYTE Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 PCI Express 5.0 Graphics Card GV-N5080GAMING OC-16GD
• CORSAIR RMx Series RM1000x ATX Power Supply - Fully Modular - ATX 3.1 - PCIe 5.1 - Cybenetics Gold - Low-Noise - Japanese Capacitors - 1000 Watts
• SAMSUNG SSD 9100 PRO 1TB, PCIe 5.0x4 M.2 2280, Seq. Read Speeds Up to 14,800MB/s, Best for AI Computing, Gaming, and Heavy Duty Workstations (MZ- VAP1T0B/AM)

The case is the Phanteks EX5 Max which has a built in AIO cooler for the CPU.

Here's my first issue: When I boot up cold, it immediately (or within 1 second) gives me a motherboard error code of 0d. It will stay there forever if un-messed with. If I reboot by holding down the power button or by just hitting the restart button, it then boots to windows with no issues.

Second issue: When enabling XMP in the BIOS to unlock 6000 MT/s from the RAM (instead of the default 4800) the computer will boot into windows normally from the BIOS. A check ensures that the RAM is at 6000 MT/s. But then, any boot or reboot warm or cold leads to a boot failure, with the only option being to go back to 4800 MT/s.

And here's what we've tried so far:

All drivers updated

Updated the BIOS to version FB2f

Reseated the RAM (They started in slots 2 and 4, and they were reseated in 2 and 4, just in case they weren't fully clicked in)

Tried stepping down the boosted RAM speed from 6000 to 5800, 5600, etc, with the only successful one being the default 4800.

My friend says if we can't fix it, booting twice every time is not the end of the world, nor is having RAM at less than maximum speed. And while he's right, I sure would like this whole thing to just WORK. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone,

I got tired of Gigabyte Control Center being heavy and clunky on my 2023 G5 KF, so I made a small replacement called Terabyte

It's one clean window. No install, no background service, nothing starts with Windows. Close the window and it's gone.

What it does

- Custom fan curves for the CPU and GPU fan (with safety limits), or Automatic / Maximum. Its much better and u have a 4 point fan curve.
- CPU modes: Quiet, Entertainment, Performance
- Keyboard backlight colour, brightness and a few effects
- Screen brightness, Caps/Num/Scroll Lock, camera and touchpad on/off
- Themes: Violet (default), Dark, Light, Ember

Not done yet: Win key lock, Fn lock, airplane mode.

Things to know

- Made and used on a 2023 G5 KF (i5-12500H, RTX 4060). Other G5 models might work, but I haven't tried them.
- It talks to the BIOS through Gigabyte's own InsydeDCHU.dll, so the Gigabyte software has to be on the laptop. I can't include that file.
- The exe isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you. The exe only runs a PowerShell script, and the script is included in the download so you can read it. There's also a .bat that runs the script directly if you'd rather not run the exe.
- It's unofficial and it sends commands to the BIOS, so use it at your own risk.
- I built it with help from an AI assistant (Claude).

If you try it on another G5 model, please tell me what works and what doesn't. Feedback is welcome. Ja

Hallo zusammen,

da die meisten Spiele wie COD, Battlefield 6 und Co. seit Neuestem TPM 2.0 voraussetzen, habe ich versucht, es zu aktivieren, habe aber folgendes Problem:

Im BIOS habe ich Folgendes ausprobiert und aktiviert:
(Mein Motherboard: GIGABYTE B650 UD AX DDR5 ATX Mainboard S)
AMD fTPM
Pluton-Chip (TPM)
Secure Boot ist aktiviert
Pc neu aufgesetzt
BIOS geupdatet

Im Windows-Geräte-Manager wird nur der Pluton-Chip bzw. das AMD PSP 11.0 Device angezeigt. Wenn ich Windows + R drücke und tpm.msc eingebe, kommt diese Meldung:

„Auf diesem Computer wurde kein kompatibles TPM (Trusted Platform Module) gefunden. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass auf diesem Computer ein 1.2-TPM oder höher installiert und im BIOS aktiviert ist."

Ich habe mir jetzt ein Gigabyte-TPM-Modul gekauft und werde es in den kommenden Tagen damit versuchen. Ich hoffe, dass das hilft. Vielleicht hat ja jemand von euch eine Info dazu?

🎮 **Need Help: Persistent BSOD Crashes While Playing Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare 4 | DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (netio.sys)**

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue while playing Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare 4, and I'm hoping someone in the community can help me identify the root cause and find a permanent solution.

During gameplay, usually in the middle of a match, my PC suddenly crashes and displays a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with the following error:

🔴 Stop Code: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

🔴 Faulting File: netio.sys

The most confusing part is that **this BSOD only occurs while playing Modern Warfare 4**. I don't experience the same issue during my other activities, which makes it difficult to determine whether the problem is related to the game, a network driver, Windows 11, or a potential hardware compatibility issue.

### 🖥️ My System & Troubleshooting

✅ Motherboard: GIGABYTE X870E AORUS MASTER X3D ICE

✅ Operating System: Windows 11

✅ Drivers: All drivers are up to date

✅ System Configuration: Everything is running at stock settings, with no CPU or GPU overclocking or other system modifications

⚠️ RAM: XMP is enabled; this is the only non-default setting in my system

I've checked that my system is running with updated drivers, but the issue persists. The crashes make it practically impossible to enjoy the game, as I can barely complete a match without encountering this BSOD.

### 🔍 What I've Tried to Understand

Since the error references `netio.sys`, I'm wondering whether this could be related to the Windows networking stack, a network driver, a third-party network filter, or a game-specific compatibility issue. I'm also considering whether enabling XMP could contribute to system instability, although the problem appears exclusively in Modern Warfare 4.

### 🙏 I'm Looking for Your Help!

Has anyone experienced this exact BSOD while playing Modern Warfare 4?

- Could this be a known game-related issue or a conflict with Windows 11?

- Should I investigate my network adapter drivers or networking software?

- Could XMP instability be responsible, even if the system appears stable elsewhere?

- Are there any recommended troubleshooting steps or known fixes?

I'd especially appreciate advice from anyone with a similar AMD X870E motherboard or a comparable system configuration.

Any suggestions, technical insights, or proven solutions would be greatly appreciated. I genuinely want to get this resolved so I can play without constant crashes.

Thank you in advance to everyone willing to help! 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to update the BIOS on my Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX from F14 to F16 through Gigabyte Control Center, but every time I try, the status just shows “Update Fail”. There’s no error code or extra explanation, so I have no idea what’s going wrong.

What I’ve tried so far:

• Running the update again from GCC (same result every time)

My setup:

• Motherboard: Z790 AORUS ELITE AX (current BIOS: F14)
• CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core (TM) i7-13700K
• OS: Windows 11 Home
• GCC version: Don't know which version I have

Has anyone had the same issue? Is this a known problem with GCC, and is it safer to update through Q-Flash with a USB stick instead? Any tips on what could be causing the failure would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
