Correct, but the final build, 16299, was the fall Creators update
I’ve never used the eSATA ports even from the beginning, in fact before I updated the BIOS the original BIOS used to give an error on start up (something about not finding an eSATA drive) so I always used to disable it from BIOS
With the updated BIOS the option to disable eSATA is no longer there but nor is the error on start-up.
I’ve read on Google that it was a mistake in the firmware that the updated BIOS had resolved.
Everything is connected to the SATA ports
SATA Port 0 has the 300GB hard drive which has the operating system installed on.
SATA Port 1 has the DVD drive
SATA Port 4 has the 1 terabyte which only serves as a backup of important files while I play with insiders prevue releases
I’ve updated all that will update or install from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/36888
I haven’t installed Marvell* eSATA RAID Driver as I didn’t think I needed it
I’ve never had a problem with the memory and this is a wonderfully fast machine (considering its age) compared to some that I’ve tried in PC World.
I’ve never overclocked it as I’ve never felt the need to so far.
I’ve arranged the 2gb X 3 memory sticks according to the manual but if playing about with the banks would help install RS-4s I would love to give it a try
Yes mate I’ve been trying to find an answer from Google from the time 17017 was released
I’ve had a look at the panther setuperr.logs before but there’s so much of it and difficult to understand the meaning
I’ll try deleting a CPU check file later when I read more about it
Ram has always been 6Gb and I’ve never had a problem with it, maybe worth trying a single 2GB ram in bank O, I’ll try that a bit later, though I’m not sure if RS-4 will install on a mere 2GB ram system.
If using a single 2gb ram resolves the problem it might be worth getting a single 16gb ram for it, certainly better than building a new system when I’m not quite ready for it.
Just tried “bcdedit /enum all” on Command Prompt (Admin)
But theres nomemory locations that have been deemed 'bad'
Havnt tried “bcdedit /deletevalue {badmemory} badmemorylist” as there was no need to

Just renamed mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll in C:\Windows\System32
Following the instructions here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/...wont-boot.html
Now I’m going to mount a RS-4 iso (17046) and upgrade from setup as I don’t see what difference it would make renaming this file and trying a fresh install from USB or DVD.
I don’t expect much from this action but I’m prepared to try anything at this stage so worth a try
I appreciate all your help guys’ thank you for not abandoning me :)
Not sure I like my system anymore it’s become predictable and monotonous :)
Same result every time, freezes on windows logo, no circling dots no light on the keyboard and mouse.
Reboot the system into windows 16299 again and the same error message each and every time
Just tried 2 GB stick only in bank 0 (the black one) and got 3 beeps error.
Tried 2 GB X 2 in bank 0 black and blue, it booted but same result from USB (RS-4) freeze on win logo.
Disabled 2 cores of the CPU in BIOS active processor core, freeze on win logo.
Disable 3 cores of the CPU in BIOS active processor core, freeze on win logo.
There is no option to disable only one core
Changed it all back to 4 cores as normal, freeze on win logo.
Put all 2 GB X 3 back to how they were, freeze on win logo.
Do these "freeze on win logo" all rollback ok? If so, I guess that there's a fair amount of telemetry being fed back :)
According to the MB manual you posted earlier the black bank is Bank 1 for some reason, and may result in less than optimal performance??Just tried 2 GB stick only in bank 0 (the black one) and got 3 beeps error.
The banks are colored for channel use. If you use triple Chanel, use the the blue banks. For dual channel, use both of channel A (although I have also seen use channel a bank 0 + channel b for dual channel memory). If not worried about multiple channel, then use both bank a before using b, c
Theoretically, 1 stick anywhere is supposed to work, but correct positioning is the channel a bank 0
