What happened?

Ventoy used to work just fine on this machine when it had a Celeron 420 processor, and later a Pentium E2200. I recently got a Pentium E5800, a new option in the bios, "Vanderpool Technology", appeared and defaulted to enabled. I cannot disable it, either.

When attempting to boot into Ventoy, it gets stuck on just "VT" or "VTLoading", with no activity from the USB drive, as denoted by the lack of LED blinking.

What could I attempt here? I wouldn't mind relying on discs to install my OSes on this machine, but it's surely not as snappy as using Ventoy itself. Easy2Boot also no longer works, I used it beforehand to install Windows XP, now all I get is a blinking cursor with no signs of activity whatsoever.

If it helps, my BIOS is American Megatrends, version 2.46.

Thanks in advance for any and all answers!

Sometimes you can change some BIOS options by setting an Admin password in the BIOS config menu. Then disable the Vanderpool Technology.

Hello! Thanks for replying.

I just tested this and sadly I did not get the option to disable Vanderpool Technology, it's still greyed out. Anything else I could attempt?

And as a correction, my BIOS is actually version 02.58, and my motherboard is the ASUS P5GC-MX, if it helps. image

I seem to recall that the P5 was a very buggy board/BIOS. You could try flashing on a different BIOS (later or earlier).
