    WTF my NIC is gone...

    I disabled my onboard VIA Rhine II nic to check something and now I can't find it. Doesn't show up in windows, doesn't show up in linux. Can't find the setting for it in bios anymore. WTF?! I put in another card so I'm back up but its kind of puzzling me. Did the chip just die? Anyone seen this before? Any diag tools or firmware for via nics?

    If you disabled it using the BIOS settings, it won't show up on windows or linux until you enable it in the BIOS.
    I guess clearing the BIOS using a jumper will solve your problems.

          >> was disabled in windows though.

          That's odd. Given the fact that I don't feel comfortable with overclocked PCs, I'll blame the overclocking

            Probably the overclocking and via chipset. I learned about via and agp drive settings recently, kinda soured me on them.

              Surface Pro 9, i5 version, lost touch on screen after upgrading hard drive, and ISH Power State shows Disabled
              by hotgly
              After upgrading the factory 128Gb SSD to a 512Gb WD_Black SN770M, this surface pro lost touch on screen, no touch in windows or in UEFI.
              The Human Interface Devices did find touch and stylus but it shows Disabled in windows device manager.
              I am not sure if this is a bios problem or hardware problem, already tried reinstall and reset from windows, not working. And now trying to clean/reset the bios.

              Computer model is: Surface Pro 9, i5, 8GB memory, 128GB
              Serial number: 0F00S2Y22353BF

              Lenovo V15 G2 ITL ME DISABLED
              by spawnx212484
              Hello,

              I have a Lenovo V15 G2 ITL with the memory onboard defective... I disabled the memory in the bios via a utility on the forum and since impossible to detect the SSD NVME in the Bios...

              I've updated the Bios and EC but nothing changes... I thought of updating the ME frimware via Windows and I have a Log with the message ME Disabled...

              I don't know what to do, should I do a ME clean?


              Thanks​

              1) Error trying to enter the BIOS
              --> [F2] won't let me enter the BIOS. To enter the BIOS, I had to create a shortcut and then type C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /fw /t 1 in the destination. This forced it to restart and enter the BIOS.
              Once inside, I went to the BOOT menu, but, surprise, it wasn't there. I got the following message:

              HP 11 Stream laptop DAYOHGMB6C1 REV:C doesn't show video at all!
              by alro7779
              Hello, there!

              The problem with this laptop is that it does not show video at all, even if I connect an external HDMI screen device to its port.
              I got it disassembled, and first of all it does have its VDC in (19.81). I checked the 5 inductors having the charger plugged in, and the voltage readings are:

              TURNED OFF (without pressing the power button)
              1: 9.07 VDC
              2 to 5: 0 VDC
              TURNED ON (after pressing the power button)
              1: 9.04 VDC
              2: 1.203 VDC
              3: 0.813 VDC
              4: 3.403 VDC
              5: 5.133 VDC

              I'm not quite sure if...
