[Motherboard] How to solve the Bluetooth problem of the motherboard?
For abnormal Bluetooth functionality with the motherboard (e.g., inability to connect, functions disappearing, frequent disconnections, Bluetooth icon missing, or exclamation marks in Device Manager), please refer to the troubleshooting steps below.
Note: Wireless signals between the computer and Bluetooth devices are susceptible to interference. It is recommended to place Bluetooth devices close to the computer with no obstructions in between to ensure a good connection environment
For a clearer set of instructions, you can also click on the YouTube video link below to see how to resolve Bluetooth functionality issues.
1.Confirm if the motherboard supports Bluetooth functionality.
2.Confirm if the BIOS Bluetooth functionality is enabled.
3.Follow the respective operating system version of your Windows computer for the instructions:
Windows 11 Operating System
Windows 10 Operating System
A. Confirm Windows settings for enabling Bluetooth functionality.
B. Confirm your computer has Bluetooth functionality and the device is enabled.
C. Check if Bluetooth drivers have updates.
D. Reinstall Bluetooth drivers.
E. Run the Bluetooth Troubleshooter.Q&A :
4.Q&A
Q1: Why did the Bluetooth icon disappear from the taskbar?
1.Confirm if the motherboard supports Bluetooth functionality.
Please visit the ASUS official website -> Check the model -> Select "Technical Specifications" -> Bluetooth
(Example: ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI)
2.Confirm if BIOS Bluetooth functionality is enabled.
In the BIOS, check if the Bluetooth module is set to "Disabled." If it is Disabled, please set it to Enabled.
(Example: ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI)
a. Boot and press key to enter the BIOS [EZ Mode] page
3. Follow the respective operating system version of your Windows computer for the instructions:
Windows 11 Operating System
A. Confirm Windows settings for enabling Bluetooth functionality.
B. Confirm your computer has Bluetooth functionality and the device is enabled.
C. Check if Bluetooth drivers have updates.
D. Reinstall Bluetooth drivers: Uninstall the Bluetooth drivers and download/install them from the ASUS official website.
E. Run the Bluetooth Troubleshooter.
If the issue persists, continue with the troubleshooting steps below.
D. Reinstall Bluetooth drivers:
Uninstall the Bluetooth drivers and download/install them from the ASUS official website.
Type [Device Manager] in the Windows search bar.
Note: Bluetooth devices on computers with the same model may have different manufacturer names. Record the correct manufacturer name for later use in downloading the appropriate driver from the ASUS official website. (In this example, the Bluetooth device manufacturer is INTEL)

The Ubuntu installer's startup portion is sometimes incompatible with certain graphics cards. Fixing it and getting to the Ubuntu Desktop to try or install it can often be surprisingly easy fix: the nomodeset parameter. To see if it works for you:
Ubuntu's installer 'when attempting to run in UEFI mode) will hang and stop due to different manufacturer's implementations of the UEFI specification and will hang in different ways.To identify if your machine is booting in installer UEFI mode you will see
The picture above actually only confirms your DVD/USB booted using UEFI and there will be some means in firmware settings to ensure drives are booted in order to make the UEFI installer run (a solution may possibly be as simple as ensuring SATA is set to AHCI) - check your vendors manual! Also check the UEFI Community Documentation Section 2.3 for more details.
What you need to do first is to disable SECURE BOOT in the firmware settings. If that does not get the Ubuntu installer running, try disabling anything mentioning UEFI in the firmware settings.Or
If you cannot find UEFI settings then enable CSM - this will disable the UEFI booting of the installer and then allow a legacy/BIOS install of Ubuntu.
Installing grub-efi afterwards will allow UEFI to be re-enabled. Again refer to UEFI Community Ubuntu Documentation at Section 4
Not all of these machines implement Secure Boot. Simply selecting UEFI in the BIOS settings will configure UEFI mode on hard drives. There is no solution for these errors and the workaround is to disable UEFI to enable the Ubuntu installer to run in legacy mode; after which boot-repair can be used to install grub-efi which then allows/needs UEFI switched back on before Ubuntu will boot using UEFI. Once again refer to the UEFI Community Ubuntu Documentation at Section 4
This usually happens because you have an Nvidia or AMD graphics card, or a laptop with Optimus or switchable/hybrid graphics, and Ubuntu does not have the proprietary drivers installed to allow it to work with these.
If you have a purple screen (maybe you need to set the nomodeset-option also?) and you have encrypted your complete Ubuntu installation, try to just type your encryption/LUKS-password after waiting some seconds (or minutes, just to be sure) and continue with a press on Enter. If this is successfull, you should see your Login-screen just a few seconds later.
After selecting boot options you have the opportunity to edit the boot flags manually using your keyboard. Replace quiet splash with no splash to get an idea of what step your system is failing at. Using that information search the forums or the internet for answers from the community.
The Default Ubuntu Way involves just typing in the terminal sudo apt-get install nvidia-current (For the current normal drivers) or sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates (For the latest current drivers). Just pick one.
the PPA way has the Latest bleeding bloody edge drivers. I mention this one since I am testing it in some use cases that relate to problems using TVs and 16:9/16:10 resolutions. To install this one do this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa and press ENTER to accept a message you will receive. Then do sudo apt-get update. Lastly do sudo apt-get install nvidia-375. Note that you can not mix this one with the Ubuntu way. One will overwrite the other one.
Now if you happen to have any problems do the following via the terminal again but this time go to your home folder. In my case it is /home/cyrex, so I would cd /home/cyrex. In your case you should change that to your user and the apply the following:
What we did there was remove the monitors.xml to solve some resolution problems, remove the .nvidia-settings to fix some Nvidia config problems and remove the xorg.conf (Which is not really needed in the latest Ubuntu versions) to remove any badly configured options.
