Sent from my SPH-D710 using TapatalkAll the previously-hidden advanced BIOS settings are now available, making the system a lot more powerful and configurable. But don't mess around with settings you're not familiar with. All sorts of adverse things could happen if you mess with the wrong settings, such as bricking your system or making it unbootable, not to mention some of options don't actually work. With great power comes great responsibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhadox Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Is it recommended to enable "Lenovo Fast Boot" in the Bios? I want to reinstall Windows 8 in UEFI-mode for a faster startup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieterKoblenz Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Works like a charm after deleting the sys file (maybe something that could be put in the opening post or removed from the file package)?Edit: what I would like to add that Dutch law states that if the modification (in this case bios edit) does not cause the malfunction the warranty is still valid.

DieterKoblenz Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I ordered a Intel 7260 as a cheap replacement for the crapcard that is in it now. Does anyone know if you need another antenne for 5 Ghz to function or if it works with the Lenovo's built in antenne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better performance and stability from the 7260 in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieterKoblenz Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 What exactly do you mean with "after deleting the sys file"? What was wrong?Nice law, like that.I had to delete himem.sys from the USB stick (with this file on the stick it would give me exception errors).Edit: installed the 7260, 2.4ghz works like a charm however it won't find my 5Ghz network so I need to do some more research there.
