Thanks Helmut. Yeah, that was all it was. Option 2 disappears when you disable IGD. Seems that's only for IGD. I guess, if you look at it sideways, the CPU is on the board, so the CPU graphics are still integrated and on board. The 1990's are probably where I got the idea that the internal...

That was it. Works now. I will make a note of it for the next time (when I have forgotten all of it!)

I will try that. Thanks Does that setting revert to that default when you update the BIOS? I've got a list of settings to re-set every time I flash, and that's not on it.

This is what I got going on.

Good Idea. I'm going to check my settings again. I know they are different than Wannagofast's

Yes, I believe I have on the (onboard) CPU graphics disabled. I recall that being automatic. But it's been a while since setting that up. I will check.

Not much to solder inside a SATA SSD! _

And then there was the old baking trick that I would never recommend even on a HDD. The idea here was that if some component had come loose on the soldered pins that baking it at 500 degrees in an oven would soften the solder and reconnect the pin(s). I don't think that is hot enough to melt...

You could try the "power cycle" method first. A long shot. Turn your PC off. Then connect her drive using only the power connector. Don't connect the data cable. Turn your PC on and run it for 30 minutes or so. Then turn your PC off, connect the data cable to that drive, and boot up. See if it...

This is a brand new (4 months old) 3.5 inch SATA desktop SSD, correct? If a disk drive goes brick - just blinks out entirely - it is typical that it happens after a large read/write process. Applies to spinners or SSDs. Unfortunately also typical that if a drive goes bad it happens in the...

You can check on the status of the certificate update by going into the Registry and navigating to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecureBoot\Servicing Look for the UEFICA2023Status key The data value will be either "Not Started". "In Process", or "Updated". You can also go to Event...

The reason I think it might be plausible is that when the desktop comes up, the icons in the Taskbar for Speakers and Network take a second to change. The Network icon shows no connection - until it connects - then shows the normal wired network icon. The speakers icon starts with 3 "sound...

Yes, it was the default sound. No, haven't checked that. I just assumed it must, since the default sound plays - sometimes.
