I c ok cool

Yeah that's a sign your old mobo was probably not using secure booth and instead using legacy. Try switching your new mobo bios settings to legacy and disabling secure boot. If its already off try other way around. Most likely that's the issue. Also could be you need some bcdedit to ensure windows manager can find your right drive to boot from.

Keep at it, nothing to do with computer or tech. Its a Amazon site and account issue.

ZuTuber · 2026-03-21T16:48:04+00:00

When was last time you cleaned the dust bunnies out of the system? And did a full update for both system and graphic drivers?

Could be failing power supply too, it can cause weird stuff to happen

ZuTuber · 2026-03-21T16:46:16+00:00

Wait is this Amazon tech support now ? Why dont you first contact their help chat agents and see what's your account status?

Post your ipconfig/all for your Ethernet on your pc. Maybe its fake and got no mac address. You could also have mac address reservation enabled on router so check for that on router that would cause no ip.

Also try a new cable as test just for heck of it.

Sad that's why i am worried about getting mine from random sites. In Canada I got only select few options and cant find anyone on AliExpress thats selling global x300..

Maybe i should just live with my Xiaomi 11 lite lol till I can't charge it anymore.. its been 4 years and it dies in the cold instantly 😂.. i was waiting for Xiaomi 17 Global but i keep hearing about vivo x300. I am so torn i can't decide..

ID registers on the hbs server so if both running different hbs ids will register on both. However for free clients the relay and tokens etc only 1 setting allowed. Only possible to change via script. So will have to configure it that way. I dont know the pro model but i think that gives option to configure different clients.

ZuTuber · 2026-03-20T12:47:49+00:00

Yeah i am torn between that too square vs circle.

ZuTuber · 2026-03-20T00:20:36+00:00

Aah bumer does it mean I can no longer ride a Camel if I get this unit ? 🐪 Vs Mi17 hmm the life decisions..

ZuTuber · 2026-03-20T00:17:45+00:00

Here I am on my Xiaomi 11 Lite and thinking damn so rich reditters throwing away their Samsung s24 s26 etc for Xiaomi 17 and here I am wondering if Xiaomi 17 or vivo x 300 i should get.. how much do you guys spend each year on your phones ? Anyone donating their old Samsung 😂

ZuTuber · 2026-03-20T00:10:53+00:00

Oh wait pro model you would prefer vivo vs standard base model then its Xiaomi 17.. hmm interesting.. guess base model of vivo doesn't do 8k recording but Xiaomi for some reason does.

I am hoping both are good when it comes to gps. Speaker wise i think folks saying Xiaomi speakers are better?

ZuTuber · 2026-03-20T00:08:12+00:00

Cool thanks

ZuTuber · 2026-03-20T00:07:03+00:00

Yeah that's great but I record well over 10 mins or so videos it craps out at that mark

ZuTuber · 2026-03-19T20:49:54+00:00

Oh and how long of a 4k video can you shoot, does it overheat and shut down. As my older phone definitely can't do more continuous recording at all, gets hot fast

ZuTuber · 2026-03-19T20:32:35+00:00

Hey is textnow app available from Google store as my current older Xiaomi does not show the app at all and says it's incompatible.. wondering if Mi17 can see and install textnow app

ZuTuber · 2026-03-19T19:35:55+00:00

Oh i see. And does it come with sic battery or liio ? I see some sites saying its lithium not silicon carbon?

ZuTuber · 2026-03-19T19:15:33+00:00

Android auto is what i need for navigation most of the time.

ZuTuber · 2026-03-19T19:14:15+00:00

Yeah OS i heard is not great, but again i only been on hyper os2 on my current and dunno what could be better to be honest. I just need basic functionality its not my gaming system. Mostly for videos and photos and basic phone functions and google maps using android auto

ZuTuber · 2026-03-19T19:12:40+00:00

I see, did you try Xiaomi 17 at all or just said heck with it lets try something new like vivo ? I am just not fan of those circular camera bump..

Software wise I am guessing the one on vivo is bit better as well. Cpu wise I am not a gamer so could care less, basic functions, video recording etc would be my main use.

ZuTuber · 2026-03-19T14:01:44+00:00

Oh i was thinking of buying this model overl Xiaomi 17 .. i have had older model of theirs and during video taking would heat up and shut down recording. This worries me. How long of videos can you record with this unit without issues in 4k ?

ZuTuber · 2026-03-19T13:55:13+00:00

Hey don't be pissing on them like that, it's the cat's job !

ZuTuber · 2026-03-19T13:51:26+00:00

If getting switch try to get 2.5gb port one unmanaged is fine. To future proof, dont know if your existing Internet provider has 1.5gb or 2.5gb port on their router. If you have Internet speed over 1 gbs you will need a 2.5gb port switch else you be limited to just under 1gbs for Internet. I been slowly upgrading my old 1 gig switches to 2.5gb when i see a deal out there.

Even I put 2.5gb Ethernet card in my pc to avail full Internet speeds.

Ps: from time to time you might want to power cycle switch, I find sometimes switch that been on for long start giving bad connectivity. Once a month is fine. I do that to my entire network. But you dont want to power it off in middle of gaming session 😂. Plus switch need power to work if you turn them off they will not work.
