Sorry left out that I am using the broadcom card.

It should still show up in USB.

It should still show up in USB.

Ok, I'll check it later on today.Right now the Bluetooth icon is there with a line through it and it says it's not available.

Hi guys, I bought another 8300 for testing but at the moment I don't have any graphics card. I tried to connect my monitor using display port Dell P2715Q but seems not having any signal. I can't access to the bios either

 

[pastrychef]

If you can't even access BIOS, it may be a defective unit.

Was able to get a refurbished Modo from eBay for $21. HP wants $300 for these Mobo's ( What ! ).
I am going to give it another try.

 

[JonboyLSX]

Awesome, I will give that a try.

For imac13 with Broadcom card, you need to change EHCx to EH0x for it to show up. I don't know why.

Functioning again. Much thanks.

On to next problem. Probably already been beat to death, but is there a fix for HDCP error in iTunes? And how do I get Airplay functioning? I have a MSI gt730 card in with current driver.

 

[pastrychef]

I haven't tried it personally, but here's the thread to fixing the HDCP in iTunes:
iTunes Protected Video Black Screen Solution (HDCP) | tonymacx86.com

I don't remember if I got AirPlay Video working on this system. I'll have to check later.

Had to abandon my 8300. Must have been a power surge of some type. Fried my Mobo, SSD's, HD. and Power supply.
To many parts to replace to fix it. I have an z220 with i5, 8gb ram and 500gb HD that I got on eBay for $40. I have it loaded with Dual boot El Capitan and Win-10. I will use my z220 as a main computer now. Works great. It is basically the same as the 8300. Going to try a new surge protector. Very quiet and good on energy conservation.

Sorry to hear about your losses...

That was my first guess... Something wrong with the power...

I hope the Z220 serves you better.

I have noticed that the z220 fans are louder than the 8300. Almost as loud as my z800 with 1100 watt PSU.
I have the fans turn all the way down in bios however they are still loud.

I really don't know the difference between the z220 and 8300.
The z220 did have MS-Win-Server loaded on it when I received it.

I think the "Z'" series is more of a workstation/server series pc.
