  1. My pin stopped working after a bios update, and I don't know how to get into my windows...


    hello, today i bought new 32gb ram. i installed them but it was showing only 16gb so i updated the bios. after updating the bios i can't login to my windows account, it says : "something happened and your pin code is not available. click to set the pin code again. " of course when i clicked on set pin code, it sent me the authentication code, but then it still didn't work. i fiddled around in cmd and safe modes for a while and came to the point that i could already log in with a password, but when i changed it and logged in, it says: "your device is offline. Please log in with the last passwor

  2. Pin not working after BIOS Update

    Hi Max,

    It seems that your operating system was no longer aligned with your BIOS after installing a BIOS update for your HD3P main board.

    For us to diagnose and address the problem, we suggest starting your computer in safe mode and check if the PIN is working while in that state. If it's working, then a 3rd party application may have caused the issue. To start your PC in safe mode, please
    see
    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10
    .

    If the PIN is not working in safe mode, then a reset is suggested to correct the problem. The operating system should always go with the BIOS. If the BIOS is freshly updated, then the OS has to be fresh as well. Check out
    Reset your PC in the link,
    Recovery options in Windows 10 for the steps.

    Let us know how it goes so we can further assist you.

    Regards.

    WarRock 3D Detection don´t works

    Hello Guys,

    i had a problem with my Card. The card didn´t wanted to change in 3D Modus. Ok now i removed the other 2 Pins and now it runs in 3D Modus in 3DMark06 too. The Card is a HD 2900GT. But my Game WarRock don´t runs in 3D Modus. Is there a List where i can start the game in 3D Manual? Because in Automatic it don´t want start because the Card don´t see that it is an 3D Game. Can someone help me?

    Pin not working after BIOS Update

    Hello,

    the PIN option is no longer working after updating the BIOS of my Gigabyte B150 HD3P Mainboard. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64bit. (using current branch for business)

    More Infos:

    • restaring the machine didn't help (unsurprisingly)
    • Picturecode login still works
    • I've already set the grouppolicy to enable pin login
    • In the loginoptions menu is shows me the possibility to add a pin

      Problem: When I click the button it asks for my old pin. I enter the old pin, the window just disappears.

      Problem2: Forgot Pin tells my to remove the pin with the button "remove pin" - this button is not visible

    This basically deprives me of all options I know - apart from resetting everything - I certainly am not planing on doing that again...
