Nvidia 980 ti RMA?

I had an LGA1155 motherboard (MSI P67A-GD53) and I purchased a new 390 the other day, which had the exact same issue. I had to update the bios (which unfortunately bricked my motherboard), meaning I had to buy a new mobo and cpu which arrived on thursday.

Turns out it was the motherboard after all as my 390 is now outputting a signal to the monitor and working perfect.

Its not unusual that motherboards need a bios update to accept a new graphics card.

What prompted you to update the bios was it some mention in the release notes ?
 
So just to help anyone with the same gfx card and motherboard. I contacted MSI to report the problem and was basically told it would not be fixed.

MSI Response:
We are sorry that since this MB is too old, and it may have some compatibile issue with the new card. Sorry for any inconvenience caused you.


Bit of a shame as I do not consider that board to be that old. Now time to decide on if I should get new cpu/ mobo now or wait for skylake.

Is there anything I am missing here?

i5 2xx
16gb ram
msi z68a mobo

I saw that gen 3 pci is enabled too in mobo settings and there are no outstanding driver updates

Well I doubt it's causing your problem, but 2xx series CPUs (Sandy Bridge) don't support PCI-E 3.0 so having it enabled in the BIOS will do nothing.

I am using the MSI z68a GD-65 (g3) and I was previously using PCI-E 3.0 with the 580GTX so that would not have been the problem in this case.
MSI have said it will not work with this board.

I did say that it wasn't the problem, I was just pointing out that you can't actually use PCI-E 3.0 as the CPU doesn't support it.

I know, I was just clarifying the exact board I was using. Mainly due to the fact I had not listed the model anywhere on this thread.

Just on the chance other people with my specific board are looking :D
 
have rma my gigabyte card for the same reason. Someone has the same board as me though and it works on their board so I reckon my card is faulty. Ocuk are going to test it, if it works, they will refund me the money and I'm going x99 and 5820k. If it's faulty, they will ship me a new card. Will wait to see. I have seen a few z68 chipsets not working and a few with it working so looks hit and miss!
