I recommend to do the clean reinstall the OS after switch the MB, because the MB is intel, it is totally different to the AMD, so the chipset drivers or other drivers are different too.

May try put the hdd back to the amd PC, upgrade the win10 to the win10 anniversary update, then linked your Microsoft account to your Windows 10 digital license, after that download the win10 and make the USB boot drive or DVD to clean reinstall the win10. So you may change the HDD into the 1st sata port, and try boot the PC to see it works or not.

If you use other ports like the #7/#8, which are not the intel sata ports, you need load the ASMedia sata driver before you can use them, otherwise just like you had the problem right now, because the MB will not recognize the drive that connected into those ports. You should always to use the SAST #1 port ( the first one sata port) for your boot drive, because the MB will boot from the device connected into the 1st sata port by default. Tried a bunch of registry solutions for the ability to eject boot drive, seems like it might have worked for CD drive, but not for my HDD.

It's greyed out and clicking on it to change it does nothing. Intel RST still gives the same error.Įdit: Forgot to mention, Intel RST is disabled in BIOS and can't be enabled. I'm too scared to change or try anything else. Trying to boot with UEFI got stuck at startup.nsh My motherboard has dual-BIOS, and for some reason, switching to the other BIOS then trying to boot (Legacy not UEFI) reinstalled the driver and let my pc work again, including with the other BIOS. I reinstalled the driver before switching off my PC, but I was greeted with the 'inaccessible boot device' error when I turned it back on.

I tried uninstalling the asmedia drivers to see if I could install Intel RST, no luck. I installed the drivers for the new motherboard prior to the switch. I didn't reinstall my OS after the switch. Also, if I switch to IDE mode for ports 7 and 8, or try to use ports 1-6, I am given the error 'inaccessible boot device', although my BIOS still detects the drive. This wouldn't be much of a problem, except I can't install any new drives, and ports 7 and 8 are only recognised as eSATA drives, and the option to safely eject my only HDD, which is my boot drive, is available. The asmedia drives downloaded fine, but that means I can only use ports 7 and 8. I'm using everything I had with my previous motherboard (RAM, HDD, CD Drive, GPU etc.). Doesn't matter if I try the driver from Intel or MSI's support site for my motherboard. Intel RST won't download, stating 'platform not supported'. I picked up a MSI Z97 Gaming 7, but I've been having trouble with the software side.

connect headphone and mic to front panelĥ.I wanted to upgrade my processor from an old AMD APU, so I got an i7-4790K but to use it I needed an Intel motherboard. I managed to solve the problem ! so here is the solution for future use, forget the back panel audio connections they will not work at all for headphones but by using the front headphones and mic panel I have found this works as it should the steps to take are as followsģ. I have tried to switch to this jack, but haven't noticed some changes.

I have noticed, that my mobo manual says that one jack is LINE_IN whereas Realtek HD Audio says that that same jack is headphone. I wanted to try open headphones, i have never had open ones before, and they sounds unbelievable to me I will probably end up buying either soundcard or dac / amp. When I go above 75%, it starts to sound a bit distorted. I am suspicious that amp is not powered on.ītw, the headphones are crystal clear, sounding super up to about 50% volume. I was 'affraid' that I will get anwer like this.īut anyway, this seems more like driver issue for me, as I am unable to switch to headphones in realtek. You said it yourself, your headphone is power hungry, and that's what your onboard seems to lack of, power. Well, guess what, it falters badly with my 50 ohms headphone. I had the Xonar DG with its built-in head-amp that's supposed to power up to 150 ohms of headphones. Sensitivity/efficiency is the other, and most important one. Impedance is just 1 part of the equation. Those 'power up to 600 ohms headphones' don't mean a thing. If after you tried everything, and failed, well, sorry to say, but lesson learned.
