thanks but sorry could please be more specific?

on the link posted on the site for rog strix z370-e, for win7 64bit i see drivers:
bios, audio,lan,utilities,wireless,bluetooth,qualified vendor list, declaration of conformity

where is this "asus ez installer tool" ?
what do i do exactly? when and which of these drivers i listed do i install? when do i install drivers from my clevo drivers disc?..
thanks

 

I had no idea about the Asus installer. That's pretty handy. It sure beats slipstreaming the necessary drivers through command line.

 

Yeah, it works really well. Kevin from Eurocom has been using it for installing Windows 7 on the new Clevos he is testing. The ASUS desktop chipset and Intel ME drivers work fine on Clevo laptops as well.

 

For some reason it is no longer there, try this:
1. Go to https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z370-F-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/ select Windows 7 64-bit and download Asus EZ installer
2. Extract the Asus EZ installer. Once extracted, go to the Asus EZ Installer folder and extract Asus EZ Installer

So the final directory (assuming you did not rename anything), should be C:\Users\YourUserName\Downloads\ASUS_EZInstaller_V10316_20170830_43.1\ASUS EZ Installer\ASUS EZ Installer.

3. Once EZ installer load. select the option Windows 7 OS disc to USB and click next

4. It will now ask you for a disk source

You need to have a Windows 7 ISO (can download one from here http://mirror.corenoc.de/digitalrivercontent.net/) mounted on a virtual drive like daemon tools lite 10 ( https://www.daemon-tools.cc/downloads).
Only then you can select a source.
5. Insert 8GB USB
6. Create the bootable drive.
7. Shutdown. go into bios and disable UEFI boot. Boot from the USB drive.
8. It will be like a normal Windows 7 installation and then install the Clevo drivers afterwards.

 

Thanks so.much!
Installed and so far no significant issues. Am i supposed to keep uefi boot disabled after the install?

While trying to install clevo drivers with autorun i got " os you are using cannot be supported"

So Installed drivers manually from drivers folder. After Chipset driver install and restart i got
"Pci standard pci to pci bridge device unplugged"
Not sure what that means

Also had trouble with killer network manager so just installed those drivers manually through control panel no problem.

Intel management engine also problem installing. Do i need that?

Thanks

 

Yup, you can keep it disabled. I won't be able to answer the Pci standard error, do you have a device manager screenshot?
As for the IME, I think used the one posted here http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/important-security-update.811312/ .

 

Use an INF-only driver for the Intel ME. You can right-click on the heci.inf file and choose "Install" instead of using a Windows installer version. That is how I do it. I do not want the extra payload of worthless crap from the Windows Installer version of the ME driver.

 

Thanks! will try that when get home. I agree better just install driver without any extra unnecessary bloat. Better i didnt install the network drivers through the installer.

What about clevo control center/utilities? Is there anything there i need? Or keep it uninstalled?

Thanks

 

Personally, I prefer not having the Clevo Control Center installed. I am not a fan of the blue keyboard lighting or the "breathing" green lid LED scheme on the P870. When the @Prema firmware updates become available, those will be changed to white LEDs by default (my preference) and the lid lighting will be static on the P870. Until then, unless you like having the keyboard LEDs bright royal blue color you would need CCC to change that. Otherwise, I think CCC is totally unnecessary and I derive no value from it being installed. Some people like it, so you would have to decide if you need it or want it.

 

installed windows 7 as well on my p775tm system and confirmed all is working great! everything seems to be running faster and no worries of all that windows 10 garbage on top. Ran benchmarks and wow higher scores! Especially on my 3 ssds unexpectantly which now benching around 20 percent faster! only thing that seems to be slower is boot time which is only a couple seconds difference. Also had significant dpc latency issues on windows 10 i was unable to solve after much effort. If one is into music production this is a big problem, and with windows 7 all latency issues gone! well worth the the install. ahh its good to be back
long live windows 7!

 

Amen! It is really sad how many people are drinking the Micro$loth Kool-Aid and remain oblivious to the fact that Windows 10 is an inferior product by almost every measurement. Remember to go into services.msc and disable Windows Updates so those retarded monkeys can't screw it up for you. The only updates worthy of consideration are available in a Simplix Update package. All other updates are worthless and/or malicious.

 

I didn't see this mentioned, but the Clevo BIOS is so terrible that you have to run win7 in BIOS mode. After lots and lots of messing with it, I never could get Win7 to finish a load in UEFI mode.

If anybody can prove me wrong, please let me know.

I can't wait for Prema to get his BIOS working on these, I can't even get my distributor to give me an updated Clevo BIOS, just getting a response of we'll contact you someday to install Prema for you.

I was going to build an 870 to keep after this, but with the horribly atrocious keyboard, worst BIOS I've ever seen that even causes compatibility issues, screen problems, and as impressive performance as I'd expected, I might go with somebody else that uses a desktop CPU.

 

or you just disconnect all the lighting rigs.

 

I love having a white backlit keyboard on any laptop as well as my desktop keyboard, but the lights on the lid are not something that matters to me. Disconnecting that is a good idea.

 

fair enough, the white light from the panel's backlighting will shine through and if that's your thing then cool - but for me it's not so I just removed the whole lighting rig and put cardboard over the panel so it would block the backlight from appearing and it works a treat.

I don't really buy it for the lighting and if there's lighting i'll either turn it off or remove it entirely.

 

Yup, I took my LCD out and covered those areas with electrical tape to block the light from bleeding through. I always use dark wallpaper and that really bugged the crap out of me.

 

Hi. I buy Eurocom Sky7 notebook, like Clevo P775TM1-G. (I make Win7 USB key, with support USB3, and nVMe SSD )
But I have problem install Win7, or Win8, or linux, ubuntu etc. I try run Knoppix 8 DVD, but without result. Possible install only horrrrrible OS Win10 (it's very bad joke from Microshit)

Win7 installer run only to screen for choice language and version Win7 (pro, ultimate, x64 ...). in this screen freeze and not function any input device, keyboard, mouse or touchpad. I write to seller about this problem, but 3 month I communication with 3 people from this Canadian company, but without any result.

Then I tray connect external USB keyboard, then I try install Win7 by external CD device... all without finish way.

Please, help me, Or if anybody have maybe some image from clean installed Win7, send me please this img (or contact me on my mail). I haven't any idea.

 

Hello. What have you selected in the BIOS for the Boot/OS Selection options? If the Boot/OS Selection options are not set correctly, Windows 7 will not load correctly. For OS Selection it should be "Others" (not Windows 8+) with Secure Boot disabled. If you have an unlocked BIOS, set CSM to enabled on the Boot menu and on the CSM Configuration menu, find the video option and select Legacy (not UEFI).

 

I try select Win8, and try other.... without result. but CSM I don't touch, I try this and then I will write.

 

What about the CSM options and Secure Boot disabled?

 

unlocked BIOS... this mean BIOS for overcloking? I have standard BIOS without overcloking. I have simple i8700 CPU (without K)

Ok. I find CSM configuration in Advanced section.

CSM Support i have [Enabed]
Gate A20 [Active]
Option ROM messages [Keep Current]
INT19 Trap Response [immediate]

Boot option filter [Legacy only]

Network [Legacy]
Storage [Legacy]
Video [Legacy]
Other PCI devices [UEFI]



But I don't found Secure Boot disabled.. where is it?

 

Unlocked means all features are available. This can be useful for overclocking, but it is all about having access to settings and features more than overclocking. In most cases you can overclock using Windows software without an unlocked BIOS, as long as the CPU is unlocked.

If you have "Others" chosen for the OS selection, I believe the Secure Boot option will go away (and become disabled) because it is only functional with Windows 8+ (Windows 8 and newer) operating systems.

Were these already the settings on this menu, or did you apply Legacy to video? What you are showing on the CSM menu is fine. It should work for Windows 7 with no issues.

If it still does not work, then there could be something wrong with your Windows 7 USB installation media causing it to malfunction during Windows Setup.
