This is a warning to users with video cards older than GTX 7xx (GT7xx including) and AMD 2xx
Latest BIOS versions in the 4.xx range that offer support for Raven Ridge removed the CSM module for video boot with older not GOP bios, so if you plug in a video card without GOP (UEFI)/Hybrid BIOS you will have no signal on the monitor. This is regardless of CPU, this affects Summit/Pinnacle/Bristol/Raven Ridge, its just that ASRock decided to remove the CSM module from the current UEFI versions. Some of the GTX 680/690 will have GOP/Hybrid bios, some do not, some HD7870/7950/7970 have Hybrid bios but many do not. As far as the HD7990 is concerned it comes with UEFI bios from the factory. All HD6xxx have older bios so they will not boot. Just a heads-up for anyone trying a video card from those series on a ASRock AM4 motherboard with UEFI in the 4.xx range, the 2.xx, 3.xx range has the CSM module present so they are not affected. |

I learned it when I tested 3 video cards, a HD6970 a GTX 580 and a GTX 680, they did not boot at all instead the integrated graphics switched on and booted, no video card was detected in Windows, the cards were plugged in correctly, everything was in order.
Then I enabled CSM and saw there is no module for video cards with older bios, it was removed in 4.xx Test it and see for yourself I can confirm this in AB350 ITX and X370 ITX running 4.51 And yes the 3 video cards boot with no problems in other sistems The bios sets the primary graphics to PCIe from default si its not that either, and switching the integrated graphics to disabled did not help, but why should it when the bios does not the the initialization module for video cards without GOP bios....

well in my case if i disable csm, it beeps 5 times, then it restarts and csm gets enabled
smt funky is there coz csm is for legacy stuffs and my gpu has uefi bios (gpu-z says so) as it is gtx 1060, but it cant run atm in uefi mode but my gtx 760 has legacy/uefi switch working in csm Edited by kerberos_20 - 27 Mar 2018 at 4:21am |

Clearly a problem here, I did not try with a card that has UEFI bios yet, but I plugged in a trusty nVidia Quadro NVS290 (this thing is over 11 years old and still works in Windows 10, I use it at work to test PCIe slot/motherboards for defects) and again no boot with it, this never happend on any system, even first gen PCIe 1.x motherboards, like the 775 with intel 915 chipset boots this card...
Strange indeed, and I dont have a Bristol Ridge to downgrade the bios to 3.xx to test out, I just sold both of mine dammit.... If you have a Summit Ridge, try and downgrade to Bridge Bios but not lower until someone confirms the downgrade is safe. Need to find a video card with UEFI and test more. I am waiting for ASRock respones regarding all the bugs I found, but no reply yet from the support team. Edited by cristy6100 - 27 Mar 2018 at 6:59pm |
