Hello,
I am new here and I have a problem: I had to do a BIOS Update because TPM Enable wasn't recognised by Windows 10. After having flashed BIOS-Version P4.40 the TPM recognition worked fine. However my Graphics Card is no longer recognised.
Configuration: Motherboard: Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX/AC Processor: Intel Core i7-9700 3.00GHz RAM: 32 GB GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 1030
Steps I have undertaken: - Cleared CMOS - Put Graphics Card into PCI Slot 1. -> Unsuccesful - Put Graphics Card back into Slot 2. -> still not recognised. - Set the PCIE1 link speed to "GEN3" - Tried both outputs on my graphics Card with 3 different monitors (just to make sure)
What else can I try? The graphics card worked fine right until the upgrade. At the reboot after the update I got a black screen and had to plug my Monitor into the internal GPU.
Thanks for reading and trying to help. uli_p

Clear CMOS, if that doesn't work then follow the steps here for a complete CMOS/RTC clear: https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=630&title=how-to-clear-cmos-via-battery-removal" rel="nofollow - https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=630&title=how-to-clear-cmos-via-battery-removal
If that fails, try contacting ASRock Tech Support: https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp" rel="nofollow - https://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp
Good luck.

Thank you very much for your help. I tried the complete CMOS/RTC clear as suggested by your post. Unfortunately, it didn't help (though the CMOS was indeed cleared and every setting went back to default).
After praying to Jesus for a solution, all of a sudden I remembered having read somewhere on the Internet about Riser Card Support. So I turned it on and set it to 8x | 8x. That did the trick. Everything is working now. (I don't know what a Riser Card is but in hindsight I guess that it is the extra kind of "Breakout Card" that my GPU is plugged into).
Your help made me try again - so it wasn't in vain. Thanks for responding so promptly. Yours Uli
