BoDEAN Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted January 9, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 9, 2014 What PSU do you have? it might be not as much for the card. Did you connect the GP 6/8 pin power cord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDEAN Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDEAN Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Update: If I move my video card to PCIE x8 slot, it works fine. How do I get my card to work in PCIE x16? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDEAN Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 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 ndoggfromhell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 9, 2014 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2014 Don't you need Ivy Bridge or Sandy Bridge-E for PCI-E 3.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndoggfromhell Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yikes, I have the same board and was planning an upgrade this weekend. Thanks for the heads up on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey_richie Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 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.

+PeterUK MVC Posted January 9, 2014 MVC Share Posted January 9, 2014 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 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: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ and click the ? To give it load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
