So the issue is you are not getting a display, not necessarily that the cards
are not working. Typically the system will halt if there is no GPU detected but in
your case the CPU should be providing an iGPU so try hooking up your display cable
to the motherboard display outputs, with the new GPU installed. See if maybe it is
just prioritizing the onboard for some reason.]]> Sun, 03 Jan 2021 18:04:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82752&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82752 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82750&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82750 Author: Sainter_Dad

LOL - yes - the 8 pin PCIe is connected and the cards are seated properly.

It seems to boot - because when I do a hard shut down (holding the power button for 3 seconds) it often comes back with repairing/checking the Windows install - so I figure it is getting to that stage and not liking the shutdown.]]> Sun, 03 Jan 2021 14:29:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82750&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82750 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82733&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82733 Author: Xaltar

This is probably a stupid question but I have to ask, are you connecting the
PCIe power to the newer cards?

What exactly happens when you have one of these cards installed and you power on
the system, does it try to boot (without display) or halt with no activity other
than fans?

Also, are the cards seating properly into the slot? They may have a slightly
thicker PCB and not be fully seating in the new board with it's tight slots.]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2021 17:39:44 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82733&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82733 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82727&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82727 Author: Sainter_Dad

Tried:

- Different PCIe slots;
- Different Cables;
- Resetting BIOS;
- Adding the newer card to the second PCI slot

None of this worked.]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2021 07:07:16 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82727&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82727 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82722&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82722 Author: Xaltar

Very odd, did you try it in a different PCIe slot and with different display outputs?

It's also worth trying other display cables, it could be your HDMI cable isn't
compatible with the newer standard.

Thanks Xaltar

I have tried 2 PSUs

- Corsair Vengeance 650M 650W 80+ Silver; and
- Cooler Master MWE White 650W

I have done the checks and apparently, 650W is ample for the system.

I have also stripped it down to just one RAM stick - removed ALL non vital periperals (inc SSD and HDD)]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2021 04:55:42 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82719&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82719 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82718&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82718 Author: Xaltar

What is the power supply?

It looks like you may not be getting enough power for the more power hungry cards.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too ;)

I hope that everyone had a very happy Christmas

I purchased some components for my son for Christmas to upgrade his computer.
- Motherboard - ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4/D3
- GPU - GeForce GTX 1060
- RAM - 2 x 4 GByte Hyerx Fury DDR3 and 2 x 8 GByte Hyperx Fury DDR3
- Corsair AIO 120mm Cooling
- 3 x 140mm Case Fans
- 1 x SSD - 250 Gbyte
- 1 x SSD - 1Tbyte
- 1 x SATA HDD - 1 Tbyte

Everything works well - except the GPU will not run - it works fine with a 2 GB GTX660 but will not fire up with either an RX570 (8Gb) or the GTX 1060.

I am not sure if it is a BIOS issue - as the BIOS was set to have even turned off the On-Board LAN and Sound Card. I am also not sure if it is a Legacy issue as Windows 10 is set up as Legacy (due to retaining an older copy), however - I am not even seeing the BIOS post when the Computer is powered up.

Any advice/help would be appreciated. I know enough about the MoBo to get into trouble - so please (if you can) ELI5 - It is frustrating my son and me]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2021 04:36:51 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17684&PID=82717&title=assistance-with-gpu-issue#82717
