Z97E-ITX/AC Bifurcation

   Check the device ID for the unknown device in device manager to make sure it's
actually the GPU. If you don't know how there is a video here. If it is in fact the GPU
then all I can suggest is trying to download and install older drivers going back
until you find one that works. 

I would suggest manually installing the driver but with GPUs I find that very often
causes system freezes and a failure to load the OS so I wouldn't recommend it.

If you have not already tried, remove the GPU from the system and clean the contacts etc.
I am pretty sure it won't make a difference but it's worth a shot. If possible
try it in the second PCIe slot on your riser. 

Failing all that, go ahead and open a ticket.

Good luck, I have my fingers crossed for you

	Cool, thats super good info. The Device ID is: PCI\\VEN149D&DEV_0102&SUBSYS_000149D&REV_01... Vendor = 149D Developer = 0102 This is the same as the information/ ID referenced in all the docs that I have been reading and trying to download for the past days, so I'm pretty certain that it has to be NVidia.. I'll try to manually update/ install the driver tonight and if that does not work, then I'll create a ticket tomorrow with the support team. Again, I cant thank you enough for your support...

	Damn, hate to break it to you but Vendor = 149D Developer = 0102 is Newtek, so not the GPU. Looks like you will need to get ASRock's tech department to help out with the BIOS. If you remember the version you were on before you could always try flashing back to that but it will be better if you can get them to send you a modded version of the latest BIOS that enables bifurcation. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

	No worries! I appreciate you for all your help... I'll contact them tomorrow morning. The person that I talked to before (John) from Asrock told me that the unit was EOL and that they could not or would not provide support.. Fingers Crossed!!! Thank You Sooooooo Much, this has been truly a learning experience...
