Back.  "Enable VMD Controller" is set to 'Disabled'.
 
So,...here's the thing.  If I hadn't installed HWINFO64, I'd not even know there was an issue.  I don't notice any problems when I running apps.  
 
I think I may table this for the rest of the day.  You have been more than helpful...on your Saturday.  You as well, Sajin.  
 
Needless to say, I'm not sure what is going on...or why my BIOS would be an issue where I may need the "beta bios",...but I will look in to this I suppose.  
 
On taking screen shots in BIOS, isn't it just F12?
 
Thanks guys.

I'm just gonna say that I'm kind of.....'upset'....I suppose at all this.  It concerns me...mostly that maybe I didn't do something exactly right.  There is so much to setting these up right.
 
Again, I don't notice any issues at all when I'm using the computer.  So very weird....  :-(

Thanks for chiming in B0baganoosh.   And I appreciate the "don't panic" advice.  And will look at the latest bios.
 
I get nervous when I spend as much as I did for all these parts, and something is wrong......and the really weird part about it is,...had I not installed HWiNFO64, I wouldn't have known there was a problem.  But when I saw these errors, I was thinking I had done something wrong [being that it is my first PC build], and didn't install something before installing something else [if you know what I mean].  Some driver that should have been done first....or even an unknown driver I didn't get installed.  But if you had this issue as well and it probably being the bios thing, maybe I can relax about all this more.
 
An odd thing that happened after I got off with the others on this thread.  My nephew [who was the one who got me into gaming and to getting a new PC], came over and had me install GeForce Experience.  Okay.  Done.  Then there was an update for the driver,...so he had me do that.  But when the restart happened,...I got a black screen on both monitors.  I had to hit the reset switch, then the monitors got signal.   Thought it was a mere momentary glitch.  
 
But this morning, when I turned the PC on,...again the monitors got no signal.  I had to hit the reset, went to the bios first, changed nothing, exited bios, then they got signal.  Not sure if that updated driver is messing things up...but obviously it is working since I'm able to type this.
 
Something I did notice in bios that I was wondering about.  I have two NVMe drives in the first and second slots.  In bios, is says this:
PE1 - x16 Gen4
PE2 - Not Present
PE3 - Not Present
 
Shouldn't there be something in PE2, or am I misunderstanding something?  I go to File Explorer and the second drive is there and working.  
 
Also, I was to have "CSM Support" set to "Disabled", correct?

PE1-3 are pcie slots (what you have your video card in, not your m.2 drives) so that looks perfect. CSM disabled, yes. With Resizeable BAR enabled.

Also, no, you won't have to reinstall anything in Windows, but when you update your bios it will wipe your bios settings. Before you update (I think I had mentioned this in my first guide post, but that was a few pages ago lol), you can export your settings to the USB drive. That way, after you update the bios, you can import those settings back from the USB drive.

B0baganoosh to the rescue too. TY! 
 
B0baganoosh, so it's OK for RAVENEVGA to ignore the WHEA errors for a little while?
 
In case anyone needs USB Flash Drives...
 
...last February when I bought my z690 Classified, I was down to 3 Flash Drives; so I shopped for them in case I ever needed more for this build. What I concluded was best is:
 
16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive 10 Pack, FEWINA Multipack USB Drive 3.0 16 GB, Memory Stick 16GB 3.0, 16 Gig USB Drive, Jump Drives, Zip Drive Pen Drive for Data Storage (Hard Flash Drive Case + 10 Lanyards)
 
--3.0 (Not 2.0)
--16GB (Versus 4GB or 8GB- seems wise. Makes them more versatile.)
--Case
--Lanyards (less likely to drop one behind my desk.)
--Colors (Means skipping labels in short term.)
--Cost (Isn't great but not bad.)
 
Edit: Just Ordered.
 
And also got a 2nd Case:  Flash Drive Case USB Storage Case
 
 
 
 

Yeah, it's been a common issue for a bunch of people. He posted the Dark bios. They might have a similar Classified bios. Other than an annoyance in hwinfo or if you look in the system error messages log, it usually doesn't cause any problems as far as I could tell when I was experiencing it.

Awesome!
Someone's 1st hand knowledge/ and their experience is always best.

RAVENEVGA
Yup....the "Resizable Bar" is set to "Yes".
 
I have greatly appreciated everyone of your replies.  And especially about this WHEA errors thing.
 
Now there are just a few more things to do.  Like, right now, Firefox no longer working...saying vcruntime140_1.dll wasn't found.  It looks like I would have to install Directx 11.  
 
Also, am I needing to install Microsoft Visual C++?  My nephew was saying something about needing 2008 and 2015-2019.  

 
Cool.
 
i researched FF issue yesterday and the prob ur having is common. Not out of the ordinary.
 
Search the Net or better yet, lol search on ElevenForums Tutorials section for:
"FireFox vcruntime140_1.dll wasn't found".
 
And remember that searching Youtube for it too, is also advisable. All comes down to ur personal preferences.
 
Edit: Ever have a prob with Windows and i guarantee so many others u can't count- are too.
 
Edit 2:
MB for: "FireFox vcruntime140_1.dll wasn't found"; search just the main site: https://www.elevenforum.com/ the Tutorials section wouldn't have a solution.

RAVENEVGA
hehe....thanks for that, Bee!  :-)

Nothing at ElevenForums.
 
Net: FireFox vcruntime140_1.dll wasn't found
 
YouTube: FireFox vcruntime140_1.dll wasn't found
 
 

I saw a video where someone was saying to download both X86 and X64.  Seemed to fix the Firefox issue.  I may do that soon.  I've just been running Chrome in the time being.

Wow!  May look into that, thanks!

Not sure which of the files I should choose from.  Not sure how much of this thread you have seen, but I'm a noob when it comes to PC building.

Use the file Lee linked above, but use the directions here: https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/3550295

Just make sure you don't reboot or turn off the computer in the middle of the update.

he'll need to know all his current BIOS settings, right?

I had suggested in a previous post in this thread that they can export the current profile/settings to a USB drive. That way after they follow the instructions (which include applying default settings), they can then import their profile from the USB drive and save redoing all the settings manually.

 cool.
 
i asked because i thought ppl had had trouble with profiles saved from older versions working on newer versions.

B0baganoosh
I did see one report of that. Not sure it happens every time, as most have suggested I do the same. Another thing I've done is take pictures of every screen with my phone. F12 will take a beautiful screenshot to the USB drive, but you can't look at those from the computer you're in the BIOS with (as far as I know), so sometimes just doing pictures with the phone is a quick way to make sure I don't forget what I had set.

yes turns out wat i saw was a reference to a Memory profile not working- and nothing to do with a BIOS profile. mb
 
knowing BIOS profiles will work on any BIOS version is important. TY
