When it goes from AE to A0 (the very end of the POST sequence) it resets. I cleared the CMOS, entered the BIOS (on the onboard GPU, which only works when I remove any PCIe GPU so a pretty annoying way to troubleshoot) and changed a single unrelated setting (disabled the second SATA controller) and voila, endless reboot loop. And even then I have no video until it gets to Windows. It will boot and run Windows with a GPU ONLY if I do not change a single BIOS setting. I've tried putting the card(s) in a different slot, same thing. I'm beyond the point where the graphics card is to blame, really. Graphics card BIOS is up to date, I've tried an XFX 290 (flashed with modded ASUS BIOS), a stock Sapphire 290 and a 7970 & 6950. ?Īs I already mentioned, the board has been flashed to the latest BIOS. So is this par for the course with these boards or. If I plug in 2 GPU's, #0 will work and the other will have an exclamation mark in Windows complaining of insufficient resources to run. I've flashed to the latest BIOS which solved nothing (flashing was an adventure in itself, the MSI software for flashing in Windows showed "you have the latest BIOS" even though it was on v1.00, and the easy flashing from the BIOS did not work, simply froze the PC.in the end the flash tool by this forum did work) The windows command centre tool has insufficient settings to overclock with imo, and in any case it's a workaround not a solution. The same cards had no issue showing POST and BIOS on my old Z68 ASUS board so it's not them. I can choose between an overclocked CPU and onboard VGA or a stock CPU and discrete GPU. So I'm entirely STUCK on stock settings if I want to use my GPU. If I flick the BIOS switch to the second (100% default settings) BIOS then it will load Windows and I get video when the driver loads. It gets to AE but when you expect it to switch to A0 it reboots.
It will enter a reboot loop just before it's supposed to load the OS. But here's the fun part: if I change BIOS settings (for overclocking but anything else as well) and want to go back to a real graphics card, the system will not boot anymore. I've had to drag in a second screen, and yank the GPU out of the slot to get the onboard VGA to work, which does show POST and allow me to go into the BIOS.
I cannot enter the BIOS to change anything as a result. And sadly, all is not wellįirst issue: No video until windows loads the driver. All right, after a bunch of ASUS boards I decided to get an MSI for my upgrade.
