    nforce 680i lt sli: Wont Install On New/Used HDD

    As title. Bios sees hard drive but wont wont install. We've tried many type dvds and same issue. Most times the computer will just hangs on few percent; sometimes it complains no hdd is attached (this is when windows is booted from the dvd). I feel this is related to bios? No? Put this computer in the bin?

    Anyhow, if you have a bios bin for this, it'll be grateful.

          F me! It was actually because I've missed off a molex plug to the MB! All is ok now.

            DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error re. old drivers in Windows 11 install image
            by japlytic
            In a Beelink GTR mini PC, mine has an Intel AX200NGW WLAN module.

            Tried (only with keyboard/mouse connected):
            • BIOS + database update
            • Using latest Windows 11 image built with official image creation tool
            • Previous setup version for Windows 11 installer
            • Replacing SSD without a slow block (the previous SSD had a slow block with access time > 500 mS)
            • TPM reset (worked to the point where DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error message is displayed briefly after the point of stalling)
            • Disabling power to WLAN and LAN modules in BIOS (Advanced > AMD PBS > PCI Express Configuration)
            ...

            A2141 (2019 16" MB Pro) Strange macOS install issues. NAND? WIFI? FIRMWARE?
            by duwane
            Hi All.

            Sorry ahead of time for the text wall. This is a strange problem and I have tried to explain it as best I can. I realise this is a hardware forum (mostly), but I am still not sure if this is even a hardware fault! I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me in the area of understanding installation logs, or someone that has had a similar issue in the past may have some ideas of what might be causing this.

            The issue:
            Unable to do a clean install of any macOS versions supported for this model, even after fully erasing and formatting the internal SSD,...

            MacOS: R|W Programmers like CH341x BINs..?
            by TrumanHW
            For years I tried figuring out how to R|W BINs from my CH341x programmer.
            From FTDI's pkg, Apps specifically claiming they work, I failed for ~8 years.

            I'd expect many here figured it out (easily), but in case not ...
            It's one of the few forms of "how-to" remuneration I can GIVE BACK.

            This group is both GENEROUS & literally BRILLIANT / GENIUS!!!


            This may be the easiest means to copy-paste:

            Code:
            SERIAL -to- USB - CH341 ROM (MacOS):
            
            
            Install xcode:				xcode-select --install
            Relocate
