Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

[canyondust]

Quick question for Z490 Vision D board...I'm still running BIOS F5 because it works great and there have been a lot of comments about challenges with later versions. However, despite enabling the Trusted Platform Module in the BIOS, I still don't have full Trusted Platform Module (TPM) capability to enable an installation of Windows 11 on a new disk. Looking in the BIOS again, it's enabled but there's a message about "No Security Device Present" which I'm guessing means that it's not finding the secure hardware on the processor.

Looking at older messages in this thread related to this topic, it appears I need a more-recent BIOS version that fully implements the Platform Trust Technology (PTT) to fix this. What is the consensus around BIOS F20 for the Z490 Vision D board? Is it a safe upgrade now? I don't have flashed Thunderbolt or whatnot because I don't have any Thunderbolt peripherals.

Thanks in advance...

I can't speak to the D. as I have it's simpler cousin, But if this is useful info I'm running F20 on the Vision G without issue. With PTT enabled, Windows reports my machine as being Win11 ready, and PTT enabled doesn't seem to affect the macOS in any way.

Thanks for posting this - I was about to post having the same problem, and this was one of my
First unread posts in the thread!

Can this requirement for Windows dual-boot from OpenCore be made more explicit in future mini-guides? For as much as I read this thread to try and stay current, I completely missed the “might impact other operating systems” comment in the 0.7.3 guide. Also, my 0.7.4 install doesn’t have an ACPI > Delete > DMAR entry to Disable so disabling AppleVTD seems like it might change from OC version to version…

Thanks again to all!

Good feedback. Given the number of users having this problem, I will make it explicit in next month’s OpenCore 0.7.5 mini-guide. It is also possible that the Windows boot problem is occurring because some of the AppleVTD-related modifications did not migrate into config.plist properly.

You might have a RAM issue. I had a similar problem of random freezes. After weeks of debugging, the stability problem turned out to be a faulty memory stick.

Corsair honored their warranty and I got a replacement kit within a week. And no more stability problems.

Perhaps, if possible, try using a different memory kit (or if no other memory, try temporarily disabling XMP if it is on) and see if the stability problems remain or disappear.

@deocder,

It would be good to run memtest as well. There's an "original" free version.

MemTest86 - Official Site of the x86 Memory Testing Tool

MemTest86 is the original self booting memory testing software for x86 and ARM computers. Supporting both BIOS and UEFI, with options to boot from USB.

www.memtest86.com

After 2 out of 4 passes. memtest is showing 0 errors.

Since replacing with the provided config.plist there have been no freezes in Big Sur after numerous hours of use and several sleep/wake cycles. Not sure if things are all good now so will keep monitoring.

Replacement RM850x PSU will be installed tonight in case the CX550m wasn't enough.

Thanks for all the assistance thus far.

Intel PTT on F5 (Vision D) works just fine to enable the onboard intel TPM firmware. It’s just not on by default.

I’ve been running win 11 on BIOS F5 on the z490 since the summer after enabling PTT, and there has been no problems at all (with the exception of a couple of dev builds in the 224xx series that were incompatible with the Samsung T7’s firmware and was causing crashes as soon as a T7 was attached to the bus, but that quirk has since been fixed).

Please run GeekBench 5 as shown and post the result:

Done as I told you I disabled my IGPUso it is posse to see onyRX5700
Geek bench give me results similar to @kirs-ua one
I tried also rx 5700 eml as suggested (thanks @kirs-ua ) and score is a bit lower with eml enabled
today I'll try to roll back to older open core versions...

Addendum: I tried open core 063 and 065 but nothing change

I found a a tool called Disk Genius, it did the pretty good no hassle, but the issue remains the same.
I tried cold boot, (but it didn't work)

I have Hackindron 2.04 with OpenCore 0.7.4, and I can see the Windows SSD drive on my Finder. I can navigate on the folders and etc, but I can't boot (with F12) or on opencore boot, and I can only see the SSD at IO PORTS/ AHCI SSD, and I can't see at the boot section.
How that is possible?
Thanks for any help.

Is there anything else that I can do?
Thanks

If you run macOS and mount the EFI partition created by Disk Genius, do you see any files or folders there?

Disk Genius by itself might not be able to create a Windows boot loader.

Some thoughts:

• Are you open to the idea of erasing and reinstalling Windows on that SSD?
• If you have important files/apps that are either (a) not backed up or (b) would be very inconvenient to reinstall/relicense, then a suggestion would be:
  • Install Windows on another SSD.
  • Start by using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool to create a Windows 10 USB install disk.
  • Then boot macOS and use Disk Utility to format the new Windows SSD (not USB install disk) as:
    • Name: Anything
    • Format: FAT32
    • Scheme: GUID Partition Map <-- very important
  • Shutdown the system, flip power switch to OFF
  • Physically remove all other SSDs (important):
    • Remove macOS SSDs
    • Remove old Windows SSD
  • Power up the system
  • Install Windows onto the new SSD
    • During Windows installation you will be asked to format the destination drive
    • Do not erase or change the EFI partition (100MB or 200MB) on the new SSD
    • But delete the FAT32 partition so that it changes to Unallocated Space
  • Boot the new Windows to make sure it's okay
  • Shutdown the system and flip power switch to OFF
  • Re-install the old Windows SSD. Now you will have:
    • Old Windows SSD
    • New Windows SSD
  • Power up the system and boot
  • Do you see two Windows boot options, or does the system boot automatically into the new SSD?

Because you now have a working Windows installation, it may be possible to copy the EFI folder from the new Windows SSD to the EFI partition of the old Windows SSD, then shutdown the system fully (i.e. flip power switch on PSU to OFF) and remove the new Windows SSD.

Graphic performances speed problem solved.
I used the week known strategy of "shutdown-and-restart"
I re enabled the ogpu then removed my RX5700 from the mob then cleared nvram load optimised setting in the bios and then...
Reconfigured the bios made a bootstrap using the ogpu reinstalled the rx5700 then rebooted.
Nowphotoshop works like a charm.
The problem is stil evident inside VMware fusion button this aseseems that isiside fusion and not on my hack.
Thanks!!!

I don't know how others are handling this, but I boot Windows from the F12 menu with BIOS F5. Its fast (faster than OC's boot), and I have no issues booting Windows 11 (or Linux).

All I do is as soon as I hear the boot speaker (if you don't have one, you can use the splash screen display), I press F12, select the Windows disk and boot. Fast, easy and no problem.

If i want to boot into Monterey, I just let the boot process go, and it loads macOS automatically.

I have booted into Windows from the OC open canopy menu, and it has booted, but its slower, only because there's more waiting.

Just something to consider for those who are having issues. This might work for you.

I only use OC to boot macOS. For other OSes, I also just use F12 menu and use their native boot loader.

I learned this early on when I started using OC... Windows would crash upon boot. Perhaps it is fixed now and various SSDTs have been re-written to apply in the macOS context only, but like you, I just use F12. Also, I recently tried booting Win 11 with OC, and my Activation got disabled. So OC will be macOS only for me.

And that's it.
