buttersoft,

I sent you a PM.

Siris:
Ok, so I guess it's true that the Lenovo M83 does have a Video card White list in the BIOS.
I bought a ATI Radeon HD 5450 and a ASUS AMD Radeon HD 5450 and neither card is recognized by my system! :(
I don't understand why the AMD Radeon R7 350X works???
Anyway, I did some checking and luckily in the M83 PSREF it shows that the M83 was offered with the following cards:
AMD Radeon HD 8570
AMD Radeon HD 8470
AMD Radeon HD 7450
So I have a Lenovo FRU03T7148 Radeon HD 8570 on the way.
Hopefully I'll have a better update in a few days!

Bizarre behaviour with the video card not being recognised.

I avoid any "corporate" PCs, by which I mean Lenovo in particular, but anything designed for corporate rollouts that has any kind of security chips or "white lists".

I just returned from Australia, where one of the things I did was to replace the old Lenovo system (Pentium 2.4Ghz WinXP) I put into a mate's cab about 16-17 years ago. The computer itself was fine, except the CMOS battery had failed, causing the BIOS to reset and engage a security lockout. The computer was essentially useless, I had no choice except to rip the entire thing out of the cab and replace it.

The replacement was just Core2Duo E8600 ~3.0Ghz 4GB RAM built onto an Asrock mainboard (G41-GS, socket LGA775, sturdy and over-engineered for overclockers) with a HD6450 GPU, running Win7x64. Not fancy, but it does the job reliably and most importantly, flexibly, with NO CORPORATE CRAP restrictions/security built in.

Another reason I chose that Asrock board was because it is one of the latest/best designs I could find that still supports an IDE slot, so I can run the original DVD drive from it (the DVD drive is built into/behind the cab's door).

I liked the Asrock mainboards so much I bought three of them, so I can roll out essentially the same system (that I put into my mate's cab) to more of my own cabs (to replace the struggling P4 in my main cab, and one more for another project).

Pic for attention - this is actually the old computer (check out the HDDs, they have now been retired), but same arrangement. PC is built into a drawer, and DVD drive built into the door, thus the need for IDE support. The cab is also pictured in my sig line, 3rd from left (yellow)

Siris:
Ok, this is just crazy and I don't know what the heck to think of it.
I got the new card and in Win. 8.1 exact same behavior, I installed Win. 7 and still got the errors but GMAME didn't crash it worked great besides the flashes with the errors.
 I installed Win. 10 and Everything seemed to work flawlessly until I closed GMAME and then there were the boxes showing the errors!
It's like the errors are getting reported before everything works???
Anyway here are two pics that show what Win. 10 shows after I close GMAME and remember if it wasn't for these being there when I close it I would have never known there was an issue at all!!!!????
