hi everyone,

I'm trying to boot on a fresh unraid usb key and so far nothing worked. the best result I've got is a secure boot violation message after renaming the EFI- folder on usb stick .

I've find a link form this post telling that without a dedicated GPU card the mother board goes into full secure mode.

As i understand with Igpu enabled i can't get pass this secure boot thing. I tried to boot with and old 280GTX but i think it don't support Vbios and the motherboard didn't even boot (no display what so ever).

is there anything i can do at this point other than buying a modern graphic card?

 

i forgot to mention the hardware (everything is new):

gigabyte B760 DS3H AX DDR4

intel 13100 (yah i wanted that igpu for the first boot ...)

128gb corsair kit (4x 32gb sticks)

ASM1166 pciex4 6 SATA ports (4 cards for future disk integration once it all works)

Toshiba 14TB N300 x8

and a corsair RM850 to power the thing.

 

I tried to rewrite on the usb key, it didn't change a thing.

Ofc a basic win10 usb installation key works just fine.

 

the usb keys i use are all SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16Gb.

did anyone run into that situation before?

Check your BIOS, and turn off any setting for Secure Boot.  If there is a setting that says something like "non-Windows OS" set that as well.

i tried to disable secure boot in fact i keep trying this every time i start the machine.

but there are 2 settings that are kept active: Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) and Secure Boot (seen as active, always. clr Cmos don't change anything).

         

Then that is an issue which you'll need to resolve with your motherboard.  You can't boot from a flash drive, or not running Windows, with Secure Boot set.

 

Two things to try is a different version of your BIOS or to boot in Legacy (CSM) instead of UEFI.  I know that MSI had, at one point, forced Secure Boot into one of their versions of my motherboard's BIOS, which they quickly reverted after folks had issues.

thank you very much, I went for the first released bios it worked. ty again 👍
