    All Intel processors up to the current product run 16-bit OS just fine. They boot in Real mode, then switch to Protected mode once sufficient software is loaded to take advantage of it.

        🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
        by macabook
        Hello everyone,

        I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
        🧩 Initial Issue
        • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
        • External display (HDMI) shows
        ...

        BIOS problems, cannot start.
        by Jockel
        Question for the technicians
        Error during boot. No hard drive, no USB boot possible. BIOS opens normally, all media are displayed. I have tried everything and cannot access the hard drive via boot installation media, e.g. USB Win 11. The system simply stops and the screen remains dark. I reset everything to factory settings in the BIOS menu using the F9 and then F10 keys in order to perform a new installation, e.g. Win 11. The hard drives are clean and formatted with NTFS.
        The USB and hard drive boot on other devices, but not on this notebook.
        All USB drives and hard drives are...

        ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
        by jbonavita
        Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
        With original bios no POST, only LED lights
        With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
        Some issues
        A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
        B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

        Things I tried

        1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...
