Disable UEFI? If you're referring to how Windows is installed in UEFI mode, that was an option I tried after the fact in hopes it would get the A10 working. If you're referring to an option to "Disable UEFI" then I am blind, I don't see it.

The USB Interface Security has "USB Interface", "External Ports" and "CMOS Camera" in it with the same options as the I/O Security, UNLOCKED or LOCKED. It's why I didn't include it.

The Boot Options #1/2/3/4/etc.. Has the 6 options you see on the boot tab and "Disable"
The separate BBS Priorities has the specific boot option and disable.

I also had the PXE and Network Stack disabled previously, again in hopes it was the issue.

I have not tried the "Power Off Energy Saving" though. Maybe i'll give that a try


I don't think there's any other sub panels unfortunately.

If you could reassemble you laptop that would be great but I get the distinct feeling that you K55N is different then mine in some strange way and it's why I can't get my Richland A10 working.

Would setting an admin password be considered enabling secure boot I wonder? I only ask because you brought up secure boot previously.

Any other help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Don't think admin password would be it. Yeah I didn't see a disabe uefi option either. Your bios version seems to be the latest at 2.17, im a bit stumped right now, i know its not fun swapping laptop CPU's :(. I should be able to get to it tomorrow or friday, doing a little midnight coding atm.

Sorry to re-resurrect an old thread but I have a k55n as well and am trying to upgrade to a A10-5750M but having the same problem as LightningJR. Did you ever figure out what the secret to getting this to work is? I have looked all over but cant seem to find an answer for the k55n.
Any help would be appreciated

No luck, I returned the APU for a refund, you may have to do the same.
