Thank you.

Unfortunately, for the X170KM-G, I saw that it is not very updated, the latest BIOS available is 1.07.07, while on the official website (when you could still download BIOS), I had downloaded 1.07.08, and currently XMG has published 1.07.09 (so evidently the official version of version 1.07.09 should exist).

However, I am resigning myself to sending the computer for repair, the only way to make it pass the POST is to remove all the SSD units, or leave one and try turning it off and on many times, or with 2 SSD units connected, the probability that it passes the POST is perhaps 1 in 50.

 

 

I think "Set to Default BIOS" has been tried, if not then I recommend this. Or a full BIOS reset wouldn't hurt either. If this solves your problem, if not, it is recommended to take it to a service center for repair.

Penso che sia stato provato "Set to Default BIOS", se non è così, allora consiglio questo. O anche un reset completo del BIOS non guasterebbe. Se questo risolve il problema, altrimenti, è consigliabile portarlo in un centro di assistenza per la riparazione.

I tried a "BIOS defult" but this didn't resolve the problem.

I will try a complete reinstallation of original BIOS 1.07.08 (latest BIOS that I have, download from Clevo website years ago) 🤔

I also bought a new (Sager) KM-G motherboard and I don't know what BIOS version it will have. I hope it won't be a surprise! 🤔

Hello, all. I have a question about Windows 11: it recently started pushing for me to install version 24H2, but I've read that it may still have some issues. Has anyone tried it on X170KM-G?

As some may recall, I have the EON17-X (2021) version of the system, which came with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. The computer's been running fine, and the update does not seem to be mandatory yet, but it has been appearing constantly over the last couple of days as a "reminder". I've dismissed it, but Microsoft will eventually make it a requirement, I suspect, so if anyone has installed it, some information would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

EDIT on December 12, 2024: I wanted to know if there was anything specific about the 24H2 update to Windows 11 for this particular computer, thinking there were minor issues with this version of Win11, but I've now read what has been posted elsewhere, and in other subforums here on Notebooktalk, and boy is this update a freak show... so I'm avoiding it like the plague, at least for now.

The unlocker works with original bios from Clevo, Dream Machine and others up to version 1.07.08, does not work with bios from XMG, since they changed the structure of the bios.

 

After using the unlocked version 1.07.08 for years, I need to lock it again, before sending the computer in for service.
I tried the procedure, selecting item 2 "relock", but it doesn't work, the BIOS remains unlocked.
Any possible solution?

To be honest, I mainly use Laird Tflex 300 / Tflex 600 / Tflex 90000 and liquid Laird Tputty 506 / Tputty 607. I am very pleased with these thermal interfaces, although they seem to have not the most outstanding w / mk performance according to the specification, but in reality they are better I have not seen a thermal interface, although I have tried a lot of different manufacturers with supposedly high w / mk rates.

Hi ViktorV, I am curious in which case you use the different products Tflex 300 vs 600 vs 90000.

Are you so kind as to elaborate please? Thanks!

New MB and CPU.

At some point I will replace the SM-G board with this one.☝️✌️😉
