Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H - A6 mb debug error


Recommended Posts

SO I just replaced by old ASUS MB with a new Z77X-UD3H

 

I am able to boot back up into windows 8.1 without any issues, as long as I have my monitor plugged into the onboard video, and my ATI 7950 out of the system.

 

When I put my ATI video card into the system, I get no display on my Monitor, and see a A6 light on the motherboard.  I have removed all ATI drivers from my windows.  Any ideas how I can fix this and use my video card?  Do I need to take the video card out, change something in the bios, then put it back in?

thanks

What PSU do you have? it might be not as much for the card. Did you connect the GP 6/8 pin power cord?

Have an Antec 750W power supply

GP 6/8 cord?  You mean the PCI-E Power cable to the video card? Yes  The fan is spinning on the GPU

Going into bios, MIT, and setting PCIE to Gen 2 fixed the issue. I guess I cant run PCIE 3.0 with i7-2600K processor.  After 4 hours of troubleshooting the issue is now fixed

In your thread https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1195109-z68-motherboard-upgrade-options/#entry596195331 you marked PeterUK's answer as the best... which states

 


Just a note about the i7 ? 2600K it will only support PCI-e 2.0 not 3.0 not really a big problem but if the replacement board works out to solve your booting up issue then it would still work out ok.

Good that you solved that but really this should be auto downgrade to PCI-e 2.0 (If the MB is wanting the CPU PCI-e to run at 3.0) without you making that change but you should check if its running at x16 with this:
