hapi, I hope you understand that this is a forum of ASRock users not employees.  I strongly suggest you contact ASRock support and let them have it!  I think your complaints are VERY valid!  I have asked about all the undefined terms in the BIOS, receiving no help.  AMD support is very responsive.  Please open a inquiry with them also.  The posters here are very knowledgeable and helpful and often the right place for a quit solution.  Please let us know your outcome.  Good luck, John.

I have contacted the manufaturer, he suggested for ASrock Mainboards to change PCIe Link Speed parameter to GEN1, they know the problem. As I did not find the parameter I opened this thread.]]> Tue, 29 Aug 2017 17:10:41 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5909&PID=35004&title=ab350-pro4-missing-pcie-link-speed-parameter#35004 <![CDATA[AB350 Pro4 - Missing PCIe Link Speed parameter : hapi wrote:Sorry for the complains now,...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5909&PID=35000&title=ab350-pro4-missing-pcie-link-speed-parameter#35000 Author: wardog

Well, not to throw salt into your wound, but server boards have more attention designed in to work with virtualization than desktop boards. That's not, NOT, me excusing away your concerns.

I've been at this for decades. Using two input cards as you are has been a PITA since I began computing. Some Users have succeeded. Others...well....... not so much.


I'm assuming you haven't contacted the cards manufacturers. You really should.

It must be a hold over that mine here, Creators Ed, is Enabled by Default.

Dears, with all respect, but I am sure this isnot a vmware issue. I am working in IT and some knowledge I have also. If theOS is not seeing the PCIe Card, why vmware should be the root cause? In VMwareworkstation it is not possible to use this kind of PCIe Cards in VMs. For suchrequirements VMware hyper-v is required (I already run such a setup in thepasst). But it is not the case of this setup. I am using Win10. I can uninstallVMware an prove it, but I will mess up with such actions my setup for noreason. For Windows and the VMware on top of it I am sure it will not makeabsolutely any difference if I restart the PC or if I do a cold start. For BIOShowever I think it could and also seems that it makes a difference.

 

Off topic: Currently I am not sure if theproblem is the AMD platform or the ASrock motherboard only. But I am alreadysure, I will never buy such thing again. Most parameters are undocumented,parameters which appear to be necessary like PC link speed disappear or arerenamed and nobody knows what to do. The motherboard has DVI and HDMI connector,but Video is not supported with the newest AMD CPU. WTF?! Ok, then I buy an oldVideo-Card, it's my fold if I did not ready all the disclaimers. Now the issuewith this PCIe card, everything else should be the root cause, but for sure notthe motherboard. If I use this slot, I cannot use the other. Take care, this isshared, bla bla... How much time I should invest to buy a motherboard? I chooseon purpose not the cheapest one. I choose a board with enough PCIe slots andSATA slots and I expected that ?œPro??versions of a board, provide all necessaryparameters to use standard hard ware. I did not use an M2 SDD, as at least thisis documented, that it will block SATA and PCIe slot??Sorry for the complainsnow, but how many hours I am expected to invest to setup such a standardconfiguration?? Cry

Hapi, your last post suggest you should make sure VMware is not using your TV card.  You do need the virtual setting in the BIOS to run VMs.  Maybe this is a VM problem.  Have you posted on the VMware forums?  Enjoy, John.

EDIT: wardog, where is this Virtualization setting in W10?

Sorry, maybe I was not precise enough. I runvmware for other services, the both TV cards are not used in vmware. Can I runvmware without setting this CPU parameter in BIOS. Without I cannot start anyVM.

You know what?

Make sure the the Default of Enabled isn't set for Virtualization in Windows itself.

There can only be one Virtualization "software' running at a time in Windows.

That issue with VM should be discussed on the VMWare forum. Or the cards manufacturer for proper drivers.

Unfortunately I had not much time to test. I reset BIOS and restartd serveral time. Issue was solved, card was detected each time, after restart as well as after longer shut down. 

Then I realized that vmware is not working anymore due to the CPU virtualization paramter set to disabled due to the default loaded in BIOS. I changed then only the CPU virtualization to Enabled in BIOS and sadly the detecting issue of the card was back. Any ideas?
