Rocket Lake (12th Gen)? I think there is a typo, must be Alder Lake

Hi everyone,

The Intel Chipset Drivers v10.1.19284.8351 are being deployed from today in the ASUS support pages of your 6xx/7xx series chipsets based motherboards.

As reminder, if you're using a Raptor Lake (13th Gen) CPU, I don't advise you to install the Intel Chipset Drivers v10.1.19284.8351 and wait for next release (the Intel Chipset Drivers v10.1.19284.8351 contains a new driver update for Raptor Lake CPU (raptorlakesystem.inf from 10.1.49.6 to 10.1.49.7) that Intel messed up).

Yup. I can confirm there is an issue with this version and my ASUS Maximus Z790 Hero W/i7-13700K. After installing v10.1.19284.8351, Windows 11 BSOD with an "Inaccessable Boot Device" and I had to perform a boot repair.

Well I am a moron and just installed these drivers on my Strix-e z970 and am getting the inaccessible boot device blue screen.

How do you perform a boot repair?

I ran into the same problem after installing that chipset update. I tried "Startup Repair" but it didn't work. Can't boot into "Safe Mode" either. A total system reinstall was out of the question too.

Since I have "System Restore" enabled on the system drive, I was able to roll back to a previous restore point from within the Windows Recovery Environment which shows up after a two or three failed boot ups. That was the one that worked.

Where can I get the previous Chipset drivers? I'm putting together a new build today and plan on installing the MEI drivers before the BIOS. Will that be enough until the updated chipset drivers are released?

Edit- I've downloaded v10.1.19222.8341 I assume this version is ok?

Yes,

v10.1.19222.8341 is the previous version and works fine.

Hi,

Correct, you need the 10.1.19222.8341 version for Raptor Lake (13th Gen), as indicated in the first post of this thread.

Note : The CPU Gen version distinction in the thread is a temporary measure while Intel fixes what they messed up.
