Hi there, I set up a prebuilt PC for my nephew recently and he’s still facing the same problem. When it powers on, it immediately displays a black screen with the error “B1initializelibrary fail.” It’s a Lenovo T5 26AMR5 model equipped with a 5600G processor, 16 GB RAM (likely around 3200 or 3600), and an RTX 3060 12GB graphics card. All components are original equipment manufacturer parts, and it runs Windows 11 with the most recent BIOS from 2023. He’s already tried various fixes—including a repair at a local shop that replaced the motherboard—but nothing seems to work. I’m hoping you can help me figure out what’s going on so I can take better care of him. Thanks a lot!

Have you explored these options? Verify your BIOS boot configuration to confirm compatibility with your storage device, consider disabling Secure Boot and RAID if active, adjust system time via BIOS when using a USB drive, activate advanced decoding features (if supported), reset BIOS settings by clearing CMOS, remove the GPU to test integrated graphics, or utilize the 5600G’s support for direct GPU access.

First of all, thank you! We've explored nearly everything on this list. However, we didn't manage to get past 4G decoding or disable secure boot. I'll give it another try and I hope I don't miss sharing the outcomes. Appreciate the support!

Sorry to necrobump this thread, but I have the same motherboard and wanted to add some notes. This motherboard has no onboard video output and requires the use of a dGPU. There is a very lengthy thread over on Lenovo's forums about this issue: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Gaming-Desk...-p/5133821 In short, there doesn't seem to be any permanent fix. The motherboard is a standard mATX board (24/8 pin ATX power, Intel front panel pinout) just with Intel square mounting for the CPU heat sink, instead of the usual AMD. The cheapest solution is likely just to buy another AM4 mATX motherboard and swap all the components over. The CPU heat sink won't transfer as it has Intel mounting holes, but used Wraith coolers aren't that expensive these days. If you are so inclined, the BIOS chip (MX25U12835F, SOIC8, 1.8V) has the silk screen "SPI_ROM1" and is located between the CPU heat sink and the rear USB/Ethernet port, directly adjacent to the SYS_FAN header. Power off the system and unplug it from the wall (to remove standby power) if you plan to poke at it. Unfortunately, the MX25U12835F is not socketed and it does not appear you can read it in-circuit. If you're handy with soldering or know someone who is, the Wieson G6179-10 SOIC8 socket works great, and the ch341a USB programmer with a 1.8V level shifter and a SOIC8 socket should not run you more than $25 or so. This is not a configurable option in the Lenovo BIOS (at least, in text mode). See screenshots:
