[QUOTE="HarveyHouston, post: 9972459, member: 483090"] Which could explain why Windows isn't able to boot, because it's looking for an actual GPU with its own memory, and since there isn't one, the result is a boot-loop. It's just a theory, but a plausible one. [automerge]1666251214[/automerge] Doing a bit more research, this [URL='https://www.electronicshub.org/apu-vs-cpu/']Electronics Hub article[/URL] actually helped: So, there's two theories I'm proposing: [LIST=1] [*]The aforementioned theory; the system is looking for dedicated GPU memory, but a GPU with its own memory doesn't exist... so boot-looping happens. [*]The actual amount of system memory given to the APU, which could possibly handle more memory, is limited by the motherboard, and thus a boot-loop happens because the BIOS simply doesn't have the option to increase GPU memory beyond 4GB (because the maximum is 2GB). [/LIST] Either way, it looks like I currently have two options: [LIST=1] [*]Get an actual GPU, and also a new power supply, since it can only go up to 450 watts. If I invest in one with 4GB or more GPU RAM, then I can use it in conjunction with my APU. This is the costlier option, but simpler, and solves theory 1. [*]Get a new motherboard which will allow for more GPU memory for my processor. More complicated, as it requires nearly undoing my entire system, but may be worth it in the end. This would solve theory 2. Eventually, I may invest in a newer, faster APU for better processing, and perhaps later the GPU and power as mentioned in option 1. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
