Hello
 
Since this morning, I have problems with the graphics card EVGA 2080ti XC Ultra (2383), with each reboot, it does not seem recognized ("Load VGA Bios" indicated on the OLED motherboard, sometimes)
Or sometimes it boots normally, but the white led (VGA) remains lit on R6E and no display.
 
Now I no longer see the "Load VGA BIOS" error but I have "A2 Post error" a few times
I reflashed the motherboard bios and I got this message after setting up all the bios

The VGA card is not supported by UEFI driver.....

A problem with the bios of the graphics card ?
If someone has an idea

Thanks

PS: when it starts well, no problem afterwards (under Windows, games, benchmark, etc...)

Motherboard bios problem.

Thanks for your reply
 
I have had the card for 18 months on my Asus Rampage VI Extreme and the same bios since February 2020
I can try with another bios, but I'm not sure it changes anything
 
Couldn't the CPU be involved ?
I tested a new one for 2 days, but the problem would have appeared immediately I think

Ok thanks, I will test with another bios
But why would I have problems today (although by changing the CPU, the Intel microcode also changed, not the same architecture)

Thanks for your help
I rebooted 3 times, and no problem .... Really weird

What's cool is that a Rampage VI Extreme has USB BIOS Flashback and Dual BIOS.

Using USB BIOS Flashback is the best, safest method for updating, or downdating (is that a word? ) the BIOS..See your mobo manual for detailed instructions.

BIOS 3006 is the latest and you should flash to that if needed anyway..I would flash both BIOS 1 and BIOS 2..The BIOSRenamer tool you'll need is included in the BIOS package.

Ok thanks 
 
Can an unstable CPU OC cause this kind of problem?
I am currently testing the OC on the CPU

sparetimepc
I had one doing that a while back as well on an asus board if i set the bclk to high, or had an oc just not quite right. Lowering the bclk cured the problem for me.  Just to make sure that was it every time i raised the bclk back up to over 103.000 errors occured with the vga boot anything under the 103.000 would boot fine.

Always set PC to stock settings - when you have an issue ... load default BIOS ... then edit
 
Asus is always special = "BIOS dance" [my term for jumping through all the steps]
 
Copy your settings first - I use my cell phone camera
 
- Shut down & reboot
 
- Load default BIOS settings ... then reboot
 
- Open BIOS & edit .... & Reboot yet again
 
 

Hello
 
I tested with a "load default bios", without any OC, and the same thing

Strangely, it does it to me 1 in 2 times and sometimes I can boot 3, 4 times in a row without problem
Could it be the graphics card that has a problem ?
 
To change the CPU, I "drained" the watercooling circuit (the GPU has an EVGA Hydro waterblock)
I'm still very careful when draining and removing the tubing, I checked, and saw no trace of liquid (just in case)
 
Thanks

great

I have the same issue on the ASUS Maximus XI Formula & a single 2080Ti FTW3 Ultra, but only maybe 1 out of 5 cold boots. The only OC I'm using is XMP. It's not too big of an annoyance, especially now that I know I'm not the only one experiencing it and it seems to be on ASUS.

Hello
 
I tried with another EVGA (exactly the same model), and no worries, so the problem came from the graphics card

I do not know if it goes into "RMA" kind of problem
Especially since I can't stay several days without a PC

Talk with EVGA Customer Service about the issue & RMA
 
If you Ask for & Pay for cross shipping or even Overnight shipping .... the "normal EVGA internal time" still applies
 
--> time sensitive: Cross shipping is best -Or- use an older spare GPU to keep running
 
 
 
 
Did you try what JME321 posted ?

HI
 
Thanks, i will see with support

Can I send my card and at the same time EVGA send me a replacement card ?
But "Pay for cross shipping", I have to pay the card (as if I bought it) and EVGA reimburses me when they receive the card that I sent them?
I see that on the EVGA shop, the card is not available
 
Thanks ;)
 
PS: yes I tested, without success

 
RMA stock is different, than Retail stock
 
Only EVGA knows what they have in inventory  Contact Customer Service

If we install an EVGA Hydro Copper, we must "break" the small sticker to remove the backplate

Does it void the warranty or not ?
At one point, EVGA support had said that this was not a problem (otherwise it would not sell Hydro Copper) but is it still the case now ?
