X58 Windows 10 issues

[jlewis02]

No problems with my x58 system.
Gaming and benchmarks work goodish.
Slow cpu is killing the graphics card

You doing any video editing? I tried it and my system started acting wacky. Did you use windows 8.1 drivers?

 

[jlewis02]

No drivers for anything other than the graphics

***** X58 Chipset & Windows 10 Solution ******

I believe the solution for running Windows 10 with an X58 chipset is to go into your BIOS and disable
Intel VT-d (Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O)

If you read this article you will see there are several technologies from Intel for support of virtualization but only the VT-d portion was causing issues for me.

Overview of the Intel VT Virtualization Features - Thomas-Krenn-Wiki-en

This article will explain the various components of Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT).

I am using an Asus Rampage Gene III with the X58 chipset. I was unable to upgrade beyond Windows 10 - 1803. However, after disabling the Intel VT-d on my bios I was able to upgrade. I also performed a clean install of Windows 10 - 2004

As confirmation of this I went back into my BIOS and turned Intel VT-d back on and the computer hangs on boot. Turn it off again and everything boots just fine.

Hope this helps!

but after microsoft released the creator update it has only gone one way and thats down.

I hate to tell you, but this is not limited to X58. This has happened on many platforms. This is because Microsoft keeps mucking about with the hardware driver specifications.

Sorry to bump the thread as just wondering about the same thing as I'm on the windows 10 21h1 with the vt-d disabled if I turned on the vt-d it hangs the os as described above. This is the reason why it hangs is something to do with some asus motherboards have a buggy implementation of Intel VT-d as link below on post #277

Meltdown and Spectre Patched BIOS for X58 Motherboards

Hey @Regeneration . Would it be possible if you can mod the Gigabyte G1 Sniper F2 (final) bios please? The one you have on here is the F4E which is beta, and after doing numerous tests the F2 bios has much better performance. The official link is here...

I suppose. Works like a charm on my Rampage III Extreme when VT-d is disabled. I had the exactly same problem when it was enabled.

This problem also existed on certain HP and Dell workstations with X58, which caused a BIOS update for them. I personally disable the Virtualization support as I've never had a need for it, even when running VMs.
