I think it is currently on F6. I had been running on the latest F10b (beta) and have also tried F9. All give me the same BSOD on windows startup.
I thought about trying every version, in the hope one would work!

try new f11a,if its still giving you issues I can mention it to stasio to pass on to the bios engineers
Associate
I didn't even know F11a existed!
Is there a site that lists more versions than the official Gigabyte website?
I will try it in a few hours when I get home from work. Thanks!

Great stuff, thanks! Hopefully something on there will fix it. I will keep you posted!

Unfortunately that bios didnt fix it. I have been playing around all weekend with it, and thought i might have got it working with windows 8. I did for a short time, then installed my soundcard and problems returned.
If you could have a word with stasio that would be great. I cant be the only one having these issues, surely. Properly stumped by this one and I'm spending so many hours trying to fix it and getting no where!

Just to let you know, I have started a thread on the tweaktown forums mate. They seem to know their stuff and I'm desperate to find a solution!
Caporegime
I'll ask around for you later,I'm using my phone atm n its not very quick on that site,ment to ask earlier for you but pretty sure its a BIOS bug/issue
Associate
Gigabyte support got back to me, and they have actually tested a UP4 board with a 590 for me! And sent me a screenshot as proof. Unfortunately they encountered no problems 
Even more stumped now. I will try a clean install with the drivers they used. But it's good to know if you do want to use a 590 with the UP4, it should work!

could be borked driver or windows driver,they used f11a bios too
Associate
I'm going to download the Nvidia driver from there site they used. I told them I was running the F11a, so must have copied me. I have asked them if they changed any settings in the BIOS too. Really impressed by their support, if only they could solve it! Haha.
Is it possible the motherboard or 590 is slightly faulty?
Or you think this is totally driver related.

I don't know,lookslike driver related now as they got there's running
if its still doing it with all new install then maybe gpu or mb is at fault

Okay. Thanks for the support mate. I owe you a pint whenever I'm over Birmingham next 
Caporegime
haha its ok,i just hope a re install fixes it
Associate
Nope, didnt fix it. Seems like some older drivers dont BSOD but fail to give me any display, so my screen either stays black or goes into standby. And newer drivers cause a BSOD
Associate
Just installed Vista and getting the same problem. This is unbelieveable. Time to start thinking about selling the 590 on
Caporegime
was the 590 ok before? I don't know if you've tested it in another system?
did you try in the other pcie slot?

Associate
Yeah, I tested it in an old 775 board (AUSU P5B). And yeah, I tried it in the next PCIe slot down.

May have got somewhere... Yet another night fiddling.
I have re-installed Windows 7. Did the install with the onboard graphics card, installed the Nvidia drivers as well as the MVP software (incase it could help).
Plugging my monitor into the 590 caused it to BSOD...
I then changed the Nvidia settings so that multiple GPU mode was disabled. Plugged my monitor into the 590 again, and what do you know it works!
So now I am at the stage where enabling SLI (on my single card) causes the system to BSOD... Does that aid anyone in helping me? Could my motherboard be faulty and not working with SLI or something?
