I just want to say thank you for this post. I have been struggling to try and figure out why my computer wouldn't boot. I could get it to boot with one CPU but not two. And when it did boot on one CPU it took a long time. After reading this post I took out my Gigabyte GT740 card and it booted up perfectly and very quickly. Looks like I'll be swapping the Gigabyte card out for the Asus GT710 too.

When I powered the system up, I got nothing at all except a green LED on the MB just below the power connector, and another flashing by the PCI slots -- no fans, nothing on either video out. Removing the GPU made the MB power up normally, and I was able to run it via the VGA output. I tried this several times while messing with the PCI settings in BIOS (e.g. changing the PCI version to 3, and back to 2), and it was totally consistent -- GPU in, dead as a doornail; GPU out, worked fine. I rushed out to PC World and got an Asus GT710 GPU, and it works fine. So I guess this MB isn't compatible with some GPUs. Ouch. My next problem was random crash / reboots, which was apparently due to Windows 10 -- it seems it's not compatible. I'm now running Linux which is fine. I've heard Windows 7 works fine too. All the best! |
