UEFI vs Legacy
UEFI vs Legacy
Check the motherboard manual starting at page 44 onward. There you'll find relevant details. I didn't see "Fast Boot" mentioned right away, but I did notice "Windows 10" – that's likely Fast Boot. Experiment a bit. Remember, if your BIOS was in legacy mode instead of UEFI, you'll need to change from MBR to GPT or reset the drive completely before trying again. UEFI only works with GPT partitions, while BIOS interacts with older systems using MBR.
This GPU still functions because it was built before UEFI became common. You're dealing with a minimum GeForce 500-600 model, hoping the manufacturer can provide an updated vBIOS for UEFI support if they are willing. It’s quite challenging back then. Essentially, you must configure your system to legacy mode since modern hardware isn’t fully UEFI compatible. The CSM module should be activated to facilitate this process.
I’ll switch to a new GPU soon and see how long it takes to start up again. Hehe. This one’s just a temporary setup while I wait for a better offer, since the Ryzen doesn’t come with an integrated graphics card.
