Asus Z97 Maximus VII Hero Readjustable BAR

@Milor123

You can try this UEFIPatch (make sure it gets applied)

# PciBus | Add Intel 9 Series XHCI Controller to 64-bit blacklist (fix broken USB in UEFI with 4G decoding)

Use MMTool if it’s needed

Thank u very much, but i dont know how use, i could take things that can broken my system xD i am very idiot for this.

Guys i have question @Kuri0 , i am working actually in linux, in a ubuntu. I have a great problem.

I have an issue that occurs every now and then when I restart Linux, for some reason it freezes, and I have to force a restart or something similar. There comes a point where the BIOS seems to have some kind of error and gets stuck just like it does when it doesn’t detect the GPU or when I add more RAM than allowed to enable the REBAR.

After this happens, not even using the CMOS button solves the problem. I have to go and reflash using the rear button of the board and the M7H file, and then reflash the BIOS MOD.

I don’t understand what is happening. This keeps happening very often, every 3 or 4 days, or maybe 5. It’s frustrating; I have reached a point where I think it would be better not to use the modified BIOS anymore.

Please help me, what can I do? If only the CMOS reset would work, it would be more feasible, but I have to reflash the entire BIOS using AFUDOS.exe, and it takes a lot of time to configure everything.

Thank u very much !!!

@Milor123 That issue is probably caused by overclocking fix or maybe updated modules (not ReBarDxe).

FYI if you only use Linux you can just use stock BIOS, it only needs 4G decoding enabled and CSM off and Resizable BAR works.

that weird, I’ve patched the new ffs of your github page in the mod file and the CMOS dont response and always need reflash the stock ROM

Seems to be working so far between reboots.
No short beep on restart.

Thanks

EDIT: didn’t apply overclocking fix / MicroCode since they were not shared here

Ohh sorry, For overclocking ram bug, we solved it doing the next:

“replace the guid 842A454A-75E5-408B-8B1C-36420E4E3F21 using UEFITool, replace as is using my nvramsmi module”

(the file was shared by @Koekieezz ). The file is in the next zip
DXEExtracts.rar (2.0 MB)

Photo of conversation with @Koekieezz while try modifiy the ROM file for fix ram:

And the microcode was updated using the automated method with UBU tool

Hi, I have this same issue but for the ASUS Z97 Pro Gamer.

Would this patch allow me to overclock my RAM as it sticks at 1333Mhz when I enable resize bar.

Also, I have the 32GB issue but I have place 3x 8GB and 1 x 4GB giving me 28GB RAM and everything works. I haven’t seen anyone mention that as a solution to sacrificing the whole 8GB Slot.

Anyway, it would be great to be pointed int he right direction? I could maybe patch it myself if I knew where to start learning?

Thanks.

If @Koekieezz posts the OC ram patch I’ll include it in the main post and make a patched bios with updated mC.

Hi, thanks I will try that.

I have been using this BIOS: [OFFER] ASUS Z97-PRO GAMER - BIOS/UEFI Modding / Offers: Already modded special BIOSes - Win-Raid Forum (level1techs.com)

I added my modifications to it, so would flashing your version remove the HPET included here?

Thanks for the time and effort. Sorry to hear about your crash and hope you get a speedy recovery.

Regards

ah do you want that version? i could make it if you want… but i’ll need you to test the mod that i gave. if it works i could mod the 9901 ver right away

Good day, I tested this yesterday. Unfortunately it’s bricked the device with the CPU light staying on. I assume its something I did related to flashing a .cap as this only seems to happen when I use the file swap method by loading an original bios then replacing it with modded bios.

I has to but a new chip as when this happens the USB flashback method doesn’t work either.

Once I get my new BIOS chip I will get back to you.

Unless I can repair with a flasher as they are the same price?

Thanks

sorry to hear that… so did you flash the bios i gave using .cap only or which method? I managed to read milor post abt what did he mod and i assume that “the unsafe” way is… safe to do? asus kind of bit tricky… so yeah, sorry for your board.

It’s OK, I only just did the same last week so I know new bios from ebay works. Very low price.

I’ll get back to you when I’m up and running again.

Thanks.

Hi, sorry for late response, I get easily distracted and when going back to look for the link, I forgot all about it.

Here is the item I have purchased, would I need anything else?

CH341A BIOS USB Programmer Flasher Writer 24 25 Series EEPROM SOP Clip Adapter

I read this in the description of the item:

“If you need the 1.8V adapter please see my listing below.”

Would I need this?

Thanks.

since your bios is a ZIF socketed you could take it off and plug it on your programmer.

you could take a look at the bios chip and see whats the serial, find it out online and see if its 1.8v, if its not it should be good to go without adapter.
