Add Disable Memory Power Down option to BIOS menu #1540

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Randomly crashes to verifying installation as discussed here #1257

Someone already found the problem, they even give you the fix. Why do you refuse to implement it in the updates? A lot of people can't RMA their device because they don't live in the officialy supported countries.

I know you explained that the "fix" will increase power consumption but can't you at least give us the option to switch it on and off. Make it an official update instead of forcing us to use old bios. Having higher power consumption is better than having the deck crashes every time. I'm begging you. Why are you guys so mean to us?

I have weirdly started getting this issue again recently (while playing halo infinite, specifically squad battle playlist for some reason) after quite a long time where it went away and i thought it was fixed in some recent update :(

Even doing the bios retrain thing multiple times isnt preventing it now.

@emcy849 can you open a new issue describing your problem? Let me know in that new issue if the crash occurs just in halo or if it also happens in other games. And if you can submit a system report after you see the crash that would be useful. I'd like to compare it to the system report you submitted before.

Commenting just to show that there is interest in this feature (:

I would really like this to be implemented too! I live in Brazil and my deck had the aforementioned problem, it works great now, but I had to lock my BIOS and can never update it. it would be awesome if my deck could keep receiving BIOS updates! (:
