UPDATE: The problem was that I had disabled the PCIexpress Power management when testing a sound card. Once I re-enabled the power management, the system became stable again, and everything showed up.
I had no idea that disabling the power management for the PCI-express could cause so many issues.
Intel Ultra 9 286K
ASUS Z890 Maxmous Extreme
Asus TUFF RTX 4090
64 GB DDR5 6400 Corsair ram.
OS Windows 11 24H2 Enterprise
BIOS updated to the latest 1203
MEI firmware has been updated to the latest
Issue:
The Intel graphics and the Intel NPU both have an error 43 in the device manager - windows has problems starting this device so it stopped.
I have formatted and installed windows 11 five times today to try and clear out the two errors. I’ve also tried using older drivers no luck.
I’ve installed all drivers and deleted devices and turned off the PC and let it do a fresh driver install.
It used to work a few days ago, I don’t know what changed.
The system is stable—no blue screens and no other glitches so far.
I have no idea if this is an Intel, ASUS, or Microsoft problem.
I see a few people make a contact frame for the new socket. Given more pins in the same layout, it could be having the same type of issues that Intel has been having for a while now. While I haven’t gotten my hands on newer Intel hardware, I have had problems where I reseated a Socket 1151 CPU a handful of times before it would work instead of constant beeping from the motherboard. It wasn’t until an offhanded comment about it tipped me off to the real problem I was having.
There are also cheaper options. It might be worth the time to try reseating the CPU a few times if needed to see if the error goes away. Possibly loosen the mobo mounting screws while doing so to release any flex that might be introduced.
A quick search says they changed the ILM and have updated the minimum pressure requirements for CPU coolers. This could potentially be an issue if the cooler had low clamping force to begin with, and especially if it is used as the spring strength degrades with age. It also makes me wonder if some instances of this could be temporarily fixed by just laying the case flat so the cooler isn’t hanging off the side.
I just tried resetting that. I also discovered something new. I reflashed the BIOS with a new flash drive instead of my old one and everything showed up in device manager but after a couple of hours just just idling it gave a BSOD and rebooted and now the Intel graphics and NPU are disabled again with code 43.
The problem has been solved. The issue was the PCIexpress Power Management was disabled. I disabled it to test out a Creative Labs AE9 that was having issues, and I never thought to re-enable it after I took the card out and RMAed the card. Once I turned on PCIexpress Power Management, all of my system problems went away.
Thank you for everyone’s help. Love the community.
You’re talking about ASPM? Funny, then. I had horrible problems with stability and thousands of errors in my logs on my new Threadripper build until I disabled ASPM. It’s the first thing I do on a new install now.
