Thanks for report. I still use my 2nd gen i7-2600K clocked at 4x4.5Ghz - still fast enough :) As more legacy stuff from HW is removed/crippled the less motivation I have to buy a new PC crap. So I don't have much modern HW in my hands for testing. I only have a i7-7820HQ laptop at work where I even don't have a DOS partition with dev tools...
So it seems libau would need some update for newer HDA but Ruslan is probably out of the scene.
For MTRRLFBE I will try on my work laptop if could run it from my multiboot USB stick. BTW in the last MTRRLFBE version I added a parameter to display MTRR settings without touching them. So try to run it if we can get some debug info first how BIOS did set it. I don't know why it crash but this MTRR read operation should not harm anything.
On Vogons I also read that the recent graphics cards are "castrated" of VGA legacy ports so the doom of legacy is coming, virtualization on new HW will be only way...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
