Motherboard: MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon

BIOS Level: 7B78v2D

OS: Windows 10 PRO, 1903 (also 2004)

Net Controller: Intel I211 Gigabit

Reproducible Error:

  1. Enter MSI BIOS Mode
  2. Select CSM from Boot mode select
  3. Log into Windows
  4. Intel I211 driver is working; Properties show Power Management tab

    Status value is: 0180200A, DN_DRIVER_LOADED

  1. Restart
  2. Enter MSI BIOS Mode
  3. Select UEFI
  4. At Windows logon screen, lower right icon of World with General Prohibition Sign tells me no network connection
  5. Intel I211 driver is not working; no Power Mgmt tab

   Status Value is 01802400, DN_HAS_PROBLEM

I need to use UEFI instead of CSM.

I posted this error on the Intel forum and they want to pass the error back to you. (See: Intel Forum)

Working - See Power Mgmt tab

Not Working - No Power Mgmt tab

I can send SSU files of both working and non-working instances if you want them.

Thank you for your time.

    Before this thread is closed officially, I'd like to leave a breadcrumb trail here for someone looking for a solution to this issue.

    Additionally, I found a way to successfully dual boot MacOS Catalina and Windows 10 with working Intel I211AT drivers - without having to set/reset the Advanced\PCI Subsystem Settings, the "Above 4G memory/Crypto Currency mining" setting [disabled for Win10 / enabled for MacOS].

    When you build the installer image for MacOS, using OpenCore, do three things:

    1. When you get to the section for creating the "config.plist" (OpenCore Guide), make sure you add, "npci=0x2000" to the boot-args string value in the NVRAM section.
    2. In the MSI BIOS Advanced PCI Subsystem Settings, make sure you set the "Above 4G memory/Crypto Currency mining" option to Disabled.
    3. Set the UEFI boot selection to the MacOS drive and not the Windows drive (setting the two OSes into separate drives is best practice).

    The UEFI boot menu from OpenCore will give you Windows 10 first and the MacOS as the second choices, respectively. You no longer have the non-working Intel chipset in the GPT, UEFI Windows 10 disk and you no longer have to fiddle with BIOS to make the switch between the two OSes.

    SOLUTION FOUND!

    MSI issued a new Beta driver. Also, ensure an Advanced PCI setting is set correctly.

    Steps to update system:

    1. Download and install BETA BIOS 7B78V2E2 from MSI website. This BIOS will work with newer AMD Ryzen CPUs, too. (This BIOS is a "slim" version with limited graphics to make room for the instructions sets needed for the newer Ryzens.)
    2. The BIOS settings will most likely be reset. Run through all the BIOS settings. You can enable advance networking features ("Network Stack" in Advanced Integrated Peripherals.)

    Just be sure that in the Advanced\PCI Subsystem Settings, the "Above 4G memory/Crypto Currency mining" setting is set to DISABLED .

    If you a creating a Dual Boot system, you can even use another OS UEFI boot manager/environment on one drive to properly load Windows 10 GPRT on another drive.

    Admins: Please mark this as solution found. Incident closed.

    Thank you.

    Hey, thanks for replying so quickly! I really appreciate that. I formatted my root storage device as GPT and I know so by:

    But thank you for suggesting this.

    Hi,

    I can not say with 100% certainty, but I do not think you can randomly switch between UEFI and CSM..

    They require a different type of HDD\SSD "Initialization"..

    UEFI reqires GPT and CSM requires MBR..

    You may need to install Windows specifically as UEFI with the Bios set for UEFI, the HDD\SSD configured as GPT, and use UEFI Compatible Installation Media..

    A UEFI Flash Drive needs to be a "GPT" type drive Formatted as FAT32.. Microsoft creates a hybrid installation device using "MBR" and FAT32...

    You would need to select the "UEFI" Flash Dive in "Boot Options" as a one time boot device..

    You may need to delete everything on the drive doing a Custom Install, depending upon how the drive was configured to start with..
