I've recently treated myself to a Asus ROG Maximus Hero XII and an Intel Core I9 10900k and a shiny new monitor, a ROG Strix XG27UQ, thanks Overclockers, Great service as always!
No other components in my system were changed and I've done a fresh install of Windows to keep everything happy shiny.
Not long after doing the ugprade though, the motherboard no longer detects my GPU (an Nvidia 1080ti) on boot, I get one long beep and 3 short meaning no GPU detected.
After a few seconds, windows will boot up, the GPU is detected and everything works nicely.
This will happen consistently if I restart Windows or on a fresh power up.
I never had a problem pre-upgrade, using an Asus Z170 Sabertooth Mark 1 and an I7 6700K.
The strange thing is that after I did the rebuild, it was working fine and this has only recently started happening.
I've tried moving the GPU to a different slot on the mobo, I've tried only connecting 1 of my 3 monitors but neither of these make a difference.
The BIOS is set to use PCIE as the first GPU so there shouldn't be a problem there.
I had a suspicion that it might have been a PSU issue, I have a 1000W PSU which while should be more than enough to power the system, my thinking was that it wasn't able to supply the power draw from a reboot (I'm guessing the system pulls more power quickly and the PSU was having trouble keeping up).
To attempt to test that theory, I started a Cinebench r20 and Superposition benchmark at the same time. CPU power usage jumped from 30-40W to 230ish and GPU from 60 to 270. Nothing fell over so I guess the PSU is fine.
I don't know whether it's related or not, but I'll mention it anyway. I've having a helluva time trying to get my Oculus Rift CV1 working on this system as well. While the Oculus software shows everything with a green light, as soon as I start to use the headset, it'll intermittently disconnect and various sensors will start turning orange to show that it's not got a good connection or show as USB 2....despite all the ports on the back of the PC being being USB 3.1 or 3.2.
