Do not buy an AM4 ASRock board for Windows 7 (or earlier)

That's good to know. 7E is SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED so something is not being handled, but idk. Have you tried Windows XP?

Guide to getting AMD 17.10.1 drivers working on Vista

No problem! Glad I had the hardware (else I wouldn't have pushed for a working driver, lol). Is it ok if I also put this guide on my website as well? Obviously, you'll be credited. Yeah, sure, it's not like you already put it in a driver pack before I was ready to release it. It's available to read...

Changing the font color in Firefox

I found the fix to this problem! In FireFox, you can select different themes such as Appenglow. Just select one of those and it will override the Windows theme for FireFox only.

After that point however, it still freezes, this time I assume due to a different reason. The boot log mode doe...

You do not have an error code because you do not have CSM. Are you on a laptop? I have a laptop with no CSM, and I was unable to get 7 to work yet.

What point at the Windows logo? You might have to replace the acpi.sys again like I did Before it is fully formed, as in it's just 4 dots. With K4Sum1's media, it has the 8.1 installer so it loads up just fine and gets through the first stage, but the second stage it does not. I even replaced the A...

OH I figured it out! So the acpi.sys is unpatched in the install.wim, so that is why it won't boot. I simply had to patch that file, and I just have to rebuild the signature somehow. Any ideas how? Using CFF Explorer, open the file and there should be an option somewhere that rebuilds the checksum....

Isn't it possible to enable CSM but boot in UEFI? (unless UEFI-only) Only in the early UEFI-laptops (such as Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge) and even then it depends on the manufacturer. For instance, my Dell Latitude E6530 with Ivy Bridge has this feature and is what I needed to make it work, but my ...

That actually would be helpful. Maybe have two lists. Boards that work with Vista OOB (Intel Ivy Bridge and earlier) and boards that work with Vista with modification to drivers.

If, somehow, more modern AMD Ryzen graphics work with Vista, then this might be the option I choose if I build a brand new laptop, that way I can dual-boot Vista, 7, 8.1, and 11, but I highly doubt it would.

It's great he got it working on Ryzen, but will AMD Ryzen Graphics work? They will work if this one was around the time of Ivy Bridge/very early Haswell, but if this is later, I reckon they will not.
