Sorry; Some Mercy? Verifying DMI Error...Again

[CDLehner]

Been down this road before.

I have a very stable build; real set it and forget kinda thing. Except...every time I DO make, the smallest change; my GigaByte freaks out!

In this case...it’s simply swapping out, the bootable USB flash; and I’m stuck at ‘verifying DMI pool data’.

I’ve searched, of course; and resetting to defaults didn’t do the trick.

I monkeyed with a few other things; but please oh please...I loathe pulling the case open, and clearing the CMOS!

Help!?

Mercy? Uncle??

 

HELP; please!

Double check the boot order

[CDLehner]

OK; so you GOTTA believe me.

 

i did this, only about 12 million times; and the Boot USB, never showed up SPECIFICALLY (and I tried this, with my OLD drive...a Lear; and the NEW one, a Sandisk)...in the BIOS or Boot Menu (though I was booting to USB-FDD).

 

When I went to take a pic for the thread; the Lexar was there, in a way I hadn’t seen previously...since this issue reared its head. I put it 1st in order, in the BIOS; and boom 🙃

 

I started up...did a clean shutdown; swapped out the Boot...and kept my fingers crossed. No dice.

 

Now...I have to mention, again: I may not know much...but I know how to set and/or reset boot order. My checking today, and clearly seeing the Lexar in a way I hadn’t previously; WAS after, the server setting running...for a few days.

 

Is it at all possible; this is in any way, effected by TIME??

[CDLehner]

So...now; I “at least” have ‘AMD Data Change...Update New Data to DMI’, after the DMI pool error.

 

IS this a wait-it-out, TIME thing??

OK; this post will probably make me look STUPID...but, I think it will help one of you SMART guys, to solve the issue.

 

Since I can now boot, to the OLD drive; I decided to just format...copy my contents...and let ‘er rip.

 

OLD drive, is FAT. NEW drive...was Fat32 (from uR boot creator). I’m like “ah ha”; but of course...there’s no FAT option, on my Win10 PC.

 

I try exFat; and...the boot drive DOES show up, in the BIOS Boot Menu. But then it crashes on load...with an obvious exFat issue.

 

I go back to Fat32, re-copy; BIOS won’t see it.

 

Let the healing begin!?
