Asrock Extreme 4 + EVGA 1050ti - no signal boot

Hello

My new Asrock Z170 Extreme 4 (running Uefi ver. 7.00) does not seem to initialize the EVGA Geforce 1050ti correctly. During boot I can not see any messages and not go to Uefi because I have no monitor signal (connected via HDMI). As soon as the OS is loaded and the gfx driver are loaded I get a signal.

If I replace the 1050ti with my GTX570 I have no problems at all. I can see the boot messages and go to the Uefi. Signal is there from the moment I power up the PC.

I tried clearing CMOS multiple times, without success. With the 1050ti I get not signal at boot.

Pluging the HDMI cable into the onboard GPU (6700k) does not work also, as in the Uefi there is no "Auto" setting for the Display. You can only choose "Onboard" or "PCI express".

To reach the Uefi I have to remove the 1050ti and use the onboard GPU. This is no good solution.

At first I thought the 1050ti was faulty. I returned the unit and got a new one. Still no signal, so my only guess is that the motherboard have some problems with the 1050ti.

Is there anything I can do? Any chance for a updated Uefi version for this motherboard?

Thanks for any ideas.

You can always try an earlier UEFI/BIOS version. The 7.xx versions add support for Kaby Lake processors, and since doubt you are using one now, try the 3.40 UEFI version, for example.

If there is a problem with the 7.00 UEFI (which it might be, I can't say it isn't yet), you are the first person to post a problem with the 1050ti card. That is a very new card, just released, correct?

Sometimes the problem you described, no video during POST or in the UEFI/BIOS UI, is caused by using a television as a monitor. I'm curious if you do, you did not mention any model of monitor.

Borrow a computer monitor, heft it to a friends or a shop nearby and plug it into a computer monitor. If still no picture. read on below........




Also, what Make and P/N of memory is being used?

I tried with another TV set on the weekend and everything worked like a dream. So the board and gfx card are ok. I contacted EVGA support and they think the handshake between my TV and the card goes wrong for some reason. Bad luck.

Thanks for any help and the suggestions.

Just to let you know and to close this thread.

Glad to read. And Thanks for the follow-up.
