RX 9060 XT UEFI mode.
Hello,

I received a Windows notification saying something like 'Bios is currently in CSM (compatibility support mode) And is unsupported by my new AMD RX 9060 XT. It recommended me to switch to UEFI mode. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks.

  1. Look up the documentation for your motherboard
  2. Read the bits concerning UEFI
  3. Profit?

Thanks for the reply.

All I see in the BIOS is:

CSM Support - Enabled, with the option of it being disabled.

Storage Boot Option Control - UEFI only
Other PCI Device ROM Priority - UEFI only.

I am not the greatest with computers.

I have played a few games and it seems fine.

Not sure..

Have you done a fresh install of the latest driver after installing the GPU?
You will be in UEFI mode I imagine if a new'ish PC, this seems like some kind of software bug.
Make sure everything is up to date, BIOS, Mobo drivers, GPU driver.

Thanks.

Motherboard BIOS is up to date and I just installed new GPU drivers.

Specs are:

AMD 5700X
Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite
32gb
RX 9060 XT 16GB



... Unrelated, just installed an M.2 NVME and I am not seeing it under This PC.

Type Disk Management in search and load the app it shows, you will see it there greyed out, right click on it and create new volume, it will guide you through it, you have to set up new drives.

So... disable CSM and see what that gets you, you can always re-enable it.

Also when you read the motherboard manual, what did you learn?

F19g? Did you get the latest chipset driver also, you often need to do both at the same time.

Before I downloaded the driver installer it said:

'Auto-Detect and Install Driver Updates for AMD Radeon™ Series Graphics and Ryzen™ Chipsets'

So I assume they were installed?

No BIOS and chipset driver you need to get from the Gigabyte website, BIOS updates can have updates for GPU compatibility in them, you might have the latest chipset though if you did that.

Updating BIOS is a bit trickier but not that bad, first get the files, you will need to know the revision of your board v1.0/1.1/1.2 or 1.3

It's the same BIOS for them all F20g except v1.3 board that's FFf

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B550M-AORUS-ELITE-rev-13/support#dl

You need a USB pen too and format it to FAT32 and stick the BIOS file on there not in a folder or anything and it comes in a zip file and will need extracting from it.

When CSM is disabled my computer goes straight to the BIOS without me pressing any key.

The BIOS was updated maybe two months ago or so for a CPU upgrade. Maybe there is a newer version because of the just released GPU?

I will look into it later.

EDIT
BIOS is F19d. So I guess I need to update it.
