Tolud is configured good. The memory remap function does everything else later on.
What’s really matter, Above 4G is still disabled. Changing the 0x387 variable is worth giving it a try, but not in PCI_COMMON storage. I’m limited in my abilities to tell what to do next, so lets wait for someone will take over.
@kingdzv What you say sound like a DSDT issue but AmiBoardInfoTool doesn’t support your mobo so idk how to fix it. Maybe try to boot Linux with 4G on and dump DSDT from there to see if there’s an issue ?
In the end I was able to make the bios modification, I saved the changes correctly. I could verify that when entering the bios, but then I could not enter windows.
I’m trying another method, but I’m also stuck. Honestly, I don’t know what else to try
Yes, I understand. There are two setting for configuring Above 4G. The checkbox and the one with toggle.
But why offset is 0x387 after all? I asked a friend of mine to extract Setup IFR tables from the BIOS uploaded.
And the variable offset there is 0x38A. It might be BIOS version dependant, I guess.
I suggest trying “setup_var_cv Setup 0x38A 0x1 0x1”. Let me know if it worked, @kingdzv.
Provided that it didn’t work, and the genuine BIOS is installed in order to exclude any doubts. You may search for DSDT in some other module, even in freeform section.
could you try this (enable above 4g decoding manually like what you did, or if you did flash my bios, try the grub method again like what i suggest before): ModZ17MOCF7.rar (7.7 MB)
Using iasl to decompile it shows it does contain a valid DSDT. The QWordMemory does seem a bit weird, usually QWordMemory is under _SB/PCI0/BUF0 but on this board it’s under _SB/EPC/RBUF. It seems to be related to Intel SGX rather than PCI device allocation
I managed to use the shared bios. It wasn’t a microcode problem.
The problem was the ME version
The modified bios with only that detail is the following.
Then do what is indicated, use the grub method, but nothing worked.
“setup_var 0x3 0x1” = no change, 4g decode off
“setup_var 0x387 0x1” = does not start windows
“setup_var_cv pci_common 0x3 0x1 0x1” = no change, 4g decode off Z17MOCF7.60MOD2.zip (8.0 MB)
Just one detail, without applying any of this, I can activate the resizable bar at 1gb (with the bios shared by you). Likewise, when I try to go up to any higher value, it doesn’t start the pc.
which ME ver should i use? i tought based on this any me below 11.7 should be fine? (it seems you use my modded bios but replaced the ME ver on your own, so it worked?)
I wonder, if, it’s something to do with the bios since the above 4g decode wont made it past boot… or maybe, just maybe, try to disconnect from internet, completely uninstall the driver with ddu (clean and do not restart) and all nvidia options ticked, set rebarstate to 0, then reboot to bios, and try to enable above 4g using the grub method (0x0, reboot, then 0x1, and reboot), see if it booted right up to windows…
@kingdzv Did you try the DSDT edit ? It’s almost certainly the cause of no Windows boot or Device Manager showing error on device because that’s what others report with DSDT issue too.
