Thank. :)

I noticed MS-7800 UEFI has Recovery tab contain UEFI Flash tool to flash new UEFI firmware so he should able to update it up to latest 2.09 within UEFI setup.

AthlonXP1800, you absolute hero! I'll give this a go when I'm next on the pc!
Thanks so much! It looks promising!


Just a quick update, I decided to treat myself to an ssd and an upgrade Psu (500w). Still not booting from graphics card!
 
Just had a quick play around following the guide AthlonXP1800 posted but can't get the option to show up in bios. It seems to be in a hidden menu somewhere within the main screen but I can't figure out how to access it! I've played around with some settings, renamed some, made others visible but no luck as yet!

I'm reluctant to change the setting using the program incase it leaves bios with no use able video driver and fails to boot! Am I being overly paranoid?

Thanks!

I read about AMI BIOS hidden menu on internet, you could try press keys below I found on internet that could work for you:

Press the "Alt" and "F1" keys to unlock the hidden settings on the AMI BIOS. If nothing happens, try pressing "Shift" and "F1" or "Ctrl" and "F1" instead.

Hopefully you can get to the hidden menu and try disable integrated graphics.

If it still not boot then you could try change Other PCI device ROM priority from UEFI OpROM to Legacy OpROM, launch CSM, Launch Video OpROM policy in Main tab. If it not work then you could try disable CSM Support in Boot tab or set it to Auto and also you could try change boot mode select to LEGACY or UEFI in boot tab.

If you still cant get access to hidden menu with keys shortcuts after few attempts then I guess you need to use AMIBCP to change all settings in Main tab you want to see access from Default to USER, save the image and flash BIOS in UEFI then after reboot you should able to see all settings unlocked.



If you still reluctant to change settings with AMIBCP and flash it, I found other possible way to access hidden menu without hotkeys and AMIBCP with a utility program UEFI MSI Enabler created by Dufus.

Unfortunately Dufus deleted UEFI MSI Enabler from notebookreview forum and nobody managed to find it on internet but lucky I managed to find it, downloaded UEFI_MSI_Enabler (1) .zip and opened it to see it is really genuine one created by Dufus.

I guess you may need bootable Windows 10 USB stick, create new folder in efi/boot and move Microsoft bootx64.efi to efi/boot/new folder and paste Dufus bootx64.efi into efi/boot. If that didn't work then you may need EFI boot manager to get into EFI Shell to run Dufus bootx64.efi and restart PC to enter UEFI setup with hidden menu. Last October I found out my AORUS Z370 Gaming 7 UEFI did not have EFI Shell while my old ASUS P8Z77-V UEFI have EFI Shell built-in so I searched for good EFI boot manager to get me into EFI Shell and found rEFInd very good one, I copied all contents from rEFInd A USB flash drive image file to Windows 10 USB stick and successfully booted from UEFI to reached rEFInd Boot Manager menu and clicked EFI Shell to enter into EFI Shell. :)

Sorry for the late reply! been a bit busy!

I trued the keys to access the hidden menu, but none worked. I tried all the F keys with shift, alt and ctrl. Nothing worked :/

I also changed all the settings to USER instead of Default, which gave me new settings to play with, but I was still unable to find one for disabling the onboard graphics!
I was brave and changed the option in AMIBCP for onboard graphics to disabled & flashed Mobo, but still was unable to boot with the HDMI in the card slot. However, I only changed the optimised setting- just in case! I left the failsafe at Auto.

I will try the MSI enabler you suggested and keep my fingers crossed! I'm close to pulling my hair out now!

Thanks again for your help, AthlonXP1800 :)
