Hello,
Today I purchased a GTX 670 card from Pallit paired with a Z77 Extreme4 motherboard from ASRock.
After putting everything together and starting the PC up the monitor would stay in stand by mode, so I tried the on board GPU which worked fine. As a result I tried moving the GTX to the other PCI-e slot, the non-PCI 3.0 slot. It now appears to work fine, or at least it now powers up the monitor, I am installing Windows as I type.
So - is this an issue with the mobo and I need a replacement? Or is it a case of needing to update the bios, which I find highly unlikely, or some other fix?
The motherboard surely has to be the most annoying piece of hardware when it goes wrong!
Many thanks for any suggestions
As a heads up, I'm also running;
i7-2600k
16GB Corsair DDR3 1600
1 SSD
1 SATA HDD
1 SATA DVD
A few case fans etc.
That about covers it, the reason for buying the board was to install another GPU later in the year, doh.
