It's usually just an initialisation order, if no PCI-E GPU is detected it falls back to onboard GPU, if onboard GPU is set first it will not initialise PCI-E GPU.

You can always reset the CMOS to restore defaults anyway.

Your right, forgot to look at the "U" version.

Stick F20 on it then.

Put f18i and then come back to us!

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 17:17

but the f20 version is a beta bios is that safe to use

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 17:22

Still no joy

Try the other long pci-e slot.

You are connecting the monitor to the GFX card and not leaving it connected to the motherboard?

wazza300 · 6 May 2014 at 17:28

tried setting the pcie to gen2 from auto? using onboard then save exit install gpu

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 17:30

Yeah I'm connecting the tv to the graphics card and not the onboard ok

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 17:31

I'm starting to get annoyed with this board now

stulid · 6 May 2014 at 17:36

Any dust or crud in the expansion slots.

What is your "Init Display First" set to? try setting it to PCI-E or PEG or whatever it's called, you should be able to get back using the onboard if it doesn't work... otherwise just clear the CMOS.

wazza300 · 6 May 2014 at 17:41

manually set to pcie gen2 rather than auto,cant think of whatelse you could try

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 17:58

I have tried peg and other ones still no joy can only get onboard working so I think it's time for new or used asus motherboard this is my first and last gigabyte motherboard.

mmj_uk · 6 May 2014 at 17:59

You should rule out faulty graphics card first.

stulid · 6 May 2014 at 18:00

Get the board replace/fixed as it has a 3 year warranty and the RMA centre is in the IK and really quick, you wont get that with Asus.

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 18:01

There is a lot of dust In the ports yes

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 18:01

Both of the graphics card work in my pc I have tested then.

mmj_uk · 6 May 2014 at 18:05

Stick a hoover nozzle over the PCI-E slot and try to get rid of any dust.

Russell2014 · 6 May 2014 at 18:10

I thought u cnt use a hover nozzle cause it will heat up the board?

wazza300 · 6 May 2014 at 18:11

just to be sure,i don't mean peg I mean the speed mode theres gen2 and gen3 and auto

if you've tried with gen2 then ignore

also tried the other pcie slots?
