Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I already installed Windows 8 in normal mode.
Can I still have it boot in UEFI mode without reinstalling or reformatting my SSD disk?
It has that 350mb partition created by installer.
Note: I still haven't flashed the BIOS of my nvidia card, EVGA emailed it to me.
If I'm not using the processor's built-in GPU, should I disable it?
Does it generate heat?
Do I have to install the latest GPU drivers for the motherboard just to be on the safe side?
THanks.
greetings,
I recently installed Windows 8 64 successfully on my new p8z77-v lk motherboard.
Everything is working fine.
I wonder if I should install the drivers available in Asus website.

Or are Microsoft Windows 8...
it's really frustrating trying to use this new technology.
anyway, I'm going old school and installing windows 8 on my SSD without any UEFI...
I guess I'll have to study this subject a lot more.
greetings,
I'm struggling to install windows 8 in UEFI mode on my asus p8z77-v lk motherboard.
I updated the BIOS to the latest version, that is 0908.
I have this USB stick that was created with that Windows 8 USB tool, it has the Windows 8 installer.
I can't seem to boot into the USB stick...
The partition creation part isn't clear.
When I first install Windows 8, do I have to create a special partition under Advanced Options?
I'm concerned with SSD alignment.
What are the cons of using Secure Boot?
For example, if I wish to install a Linux system on a spare partition, would Secure Boot allow another boot partition?
