3700X AMD CPU has no onboard GPU / chipset install errors ....

[concretefire]

So yeah, I'm trying to update my Asus Tuf Gaming X570 with Wi Fi. I go to Asus/us website and download their "Chipset" driver that they are clearly recommedning that you use.......

Fine.....

I install it and it says everything was installed but some kind of "Radeon" magic potion bull kaka. ....... Guess what? My 3700X has ZERO on board "Radeon" anything........ keeps giving me a 1603 error. It partially installed correctly.

Problem is, I look at the "log" of the install --- and all the other important pieces that are included in that chipset package shows "FAIL" as result of install. One of them was AMD's, Asus's new SMS bus driver or something or other.....

Anyway, wtf?

You need to really read about what you are buying because only AMD CPU's that got onboard graphics like Intel CPUs are AMD's APU's with onboard Vega graphics no matter what Asuxx lists all normal Ryzen CPUs requires a graphics card to display a image.

I even have colleagues at work that purchase a Ryzen 3900X like mine but first figured out afterwards he was needing a graphics card to get any display on his monitor and that wasn't planned because he uses it in a server but he if he purchased like a AsRock or SuperMicro board he would properly have found some basic onboard graphics chip.

The Tuf Gaming boards ain't what they use to be. But what hardware-id does the device that keeps giving you error code 1603 have?

I fixed it my friend. Don't know if I touched on this before but once you start nuking things one at a time, it tends to show the issues real fast. NO........ I was right all along.......

My 3700X has no need for "radeon" anything because it has no onboard / on-die GPU supported by Radeon or anyone else. I have a Nvidia GTX 1060 GTX stand alone GPU. Nothing radeon about it.

So I went back to AMD's website and was very careful NOT to pick their new super duper installer for "all in one." -----(smh)----- NO......instead I scrolled down the list and picked out "Chipset" > "AM4 (or whatever it is) > Then finally > X570 as platform..........

Low and behold......I'm taken to another page and I download THAT version. (No radeon BS) ...... It installed just fine. ZERO errors.


Solution is this simple from AMD and ASUS > Their "super duper installer package" which *IS* throwing up error 1603 codes all over the place ---- is simply because the Super duper software is ASSUMING EVERYONE is running "Radeon" cards / on board cpu or straight graphics card.

Simple fix > Add a simple "reader" to the install package that will POLL the Onboard CPU? Does this CPU have radeon tech? No? Move on to step 2. POLL the PCIE lanes. Do we detect A video card? Yes? Is it Radeon based? Yes > continue to install package as normal......

On the other hand Do we detect a Video card? Yes? Is it Radeon or Nvidia based? Nvidia based? Yes > Skip the Radeon bs during install.........

Voila. Simple fix. Maybe that's too hard to do, I don't know......seems like a simple script kind of thing to me ought to be able to do exactly that so it can "auto detect" the ACTUAL ON BOARD HARDWARE ---- WITHOUT MAKING ASSUMPTIONS that everyone is just running Radeon graphics. Unbelievably simple fix. Smh....

There's your problem, you made the mistake of installing a generic chipset driver instaed of doing the correct method of installing from the Motherboard manufacturer' website. SMH.

Incidentally, ASUS almost got me with this on my X370-f. All ASUS gives you in their support section is a file that's around 460mb... and it wants to give you the Radeon Adrenalin package that loads you down with everything. I was like "WTF is this?!" I thought nearly half a gig of chipset driver was a little odd!

It’s been that way for the older chipsets such as 880G, 760G if you get the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer’s website.

Haha, I should remember that considering one of my earliest builds was on one of those boards. But then I've never paid attention... kinda just something I try to rattle off and get it over with. Why they gotta be like that though?

To be fair, those boards had old school on-board graphics and it was a much bigger thing. Now you just get a G chip if you want that.
