Tried to go in windows 11 safe mode but every time I try that D6 code appears and screen stays black than after 1 min or so D6 code is gone  and turns into A0 Code, which that one is ok but screen stays black and after 2 min of screen staying black Windows log on screen appears fine and I am able to log to Windows 11 fine and use PC fine. I am going call EVGA support Monday. I take it GPU is going bad. Case in point I cannot log to safe mode not able to uninstall N Vidia driver  to install AMD driver for my spare GPU to test if I still get D6 code after GPU switch.  I was finally able to get to safe mode to remove NVidia driver to install AMD driver for my test GPU to see if Code D6 would be gone and YES!!! it is gone no more do I get D6 code and another code I was getting too 04 no longer rear there Ugly head. So Yes Gentleman from support was 100% right it is my GPU evga 3070 anyways. He did tell me make sure by making sure I installed another GPU 100% sure. Monday I be calling  EVGA support. Sounds like RMA time. RMA has been set now matter waiting and use my other GPU well at least I have extra no down time.  I been able confirm that now I can put my PC to sleep now and won't wake up on it's own. I had feeling that my 3070 GPU was culprit as well. Go figure. ( I was WRONG! still wont go sleep alright that end of that.

    Maybe try and reseat your CPU, also clean your PCI socket. Make sure your MB screws aren't overly tight

    Is your spare AMD PCIe 3.0?

    Hi Omnious thanks for trying help. yea check all that. Yes AMD is PCIe 3.0. After RMA My original EVGA Geforce RTX 3070 Ti FTW3 Ultra and send it in to EVGA. NEW GPU I received giving me same D6 Code. Really and yes different serial number I already check it out make sure same one was not sent by mistake. What is this out the frying pan than into fire again. What the heck EVGA. I made sure I set everything just right and HDMI cable is new and none that cheap crap eighter.

    I have interesting experience with the D6 error code
    The I discovered how much easier things can be with a little patience... :)
     
    I have a Z690 Dark sitting in a box because of D6 error code.
    I decided to reconfigure my fans after getting a thermalright contact frame and made multiple mistakes which led to no display output
    I was impatient and stupid by rushing to get it all put together so I could get back into the game on my only night off while working a lot of overtime
     
    Put it back together and power on to error code-D6 (no input device/no display output device) \
    I could tell the CPU and RAM were fine because windows booted after D6 post code and and was running as normal
    I could tell because the RGB and AIO LCD display would be turn on after ICUE started with my saved profiles
     
    I know I over-tightened the contact frame screws 
    I also dropped a 3070 ti FTW3 on the PCI slots while having to wiggle it out because I didn't use the included PCIe release tool. Gosh I should have just played my game
    I literally used a drill with 1 good-enough sized bit for 80% of screwing.  I could have flaked metal into a slot or socket so easily
     
    I either concluded I either broke the 1700 Socket, the PCB traces, my RTX 3070 ti FTW3 or all three
     
    I bought a cheap Geforce GT 710 which is PCIe 3.0 and it worked, but after being on for a half hour or so, restarting would cause D6. leave it alone a few hours it would not D6
    Had to be something related PCIe 3.0 and less lanes or being a SFF GPU and seating differently...
    This made me think what was wrong was primarily motherboard related
    I was very busy with work so I put the Z690 Dark in its box to forget about until...
     
    A week later, EVGA started their winter sale with the Z690 DKP 50% off. I was so happy to get another for a price I could somewhat reason. THANK YOU, EVGA!
     
    When new Z690 DKP arrived, I swapped HW to the new Z690 Dark and everything worked 
    Z690 DKP is an amazing board
     
    I've been doing my research and want to see if I can fix it but I don't want to use my working rig's CPU
    I should just get a 13900K so I can have a LGA 1700 CPU to troubleshoot

    So you saying might be the MOBO. Well funny thing is this MOBO EVGA Z490 Dark is giving me a Code 04 as well. To make matter more complicated this is RMA MOBO only 1 Months 1 week old. HA this has turn out to be a conundrum. Is it the GPU or is it the MOBO. Or Or could it be the PC monitor for D6 code LOL ahh man I am tired this back forth Omnious Yes I  do get the Code D6 and monitor goes black and monitor light stays red (Light on Monitor finally changes to bright white {ON} )  and after MOBO goes thru all the Codes than finally after hitting D6 final code is usually 04 or the magnificent A0. riddle me that.? Man in my crazy thoughts not saying 100% but just makes me think maybe it is the Monitor 25% sure could be. stranger thing have happen. Or maybe like you said MOBO. So meaning I have to RMA MOBO again. ahh This is Horse crap. Calling Monday EVGA Support. NAH Man I leterary gone thru my PC hardware with magnifying glass to find flaws and none all is factory intact I am never type rushes to build a PC I am Old man and my one favorite speed is slow and steady. (56) EVGA can vouch for me I don't send scratch items to them. Oh did test with another GPU an AMD Radeon RX5500XT. Never got the D6 code while it was using it. But did get Code 04 from MOBO.

    Great news guys after extensive talk with EVGA Support it was long talk is Not the GPU nor MOBO is the CPU so got on phone with Intel and talk to Tech and we talk for 2 hrs some min and he troubleshooted my CPU. So the game plan is to deal with it. Finally glad is not EVGA Fault heck GPU I sent in was not even faulty heck could saved money in shipping on both ends. Like I told EVGA Support thank you thank you for the great support and being there when issues arise they are absolute Champs. Reason being no way it be that bad 2 GPU's Draw D6 code too life is strange but hey let it chill. Anyways I was planning on buying the intel i9 10900k so that be fix soon. Intel told keep in touch with Tech work with me by E-mail and let know any crashes, booting issues and ETC ETC to keep him in the loop. This is done in this servers all this problems were from another source.

    How did the intel tech determine it was the cpu?

    How did the intel tech determine it was the cpu?

    Intel tech support provided me with a E-mail address to stay in contact with Jose tech support case still open and he let me know to keep him posted of my PC behavior and to E-mail him if PC lock,  get blue screen of death, ETC ETC. He told me it will be ongoing troubleshooting for period of time. So case stay open and to E-mail him with any issues I could be having. This is great costumer service. So we have not yet determined the CPU is the culprit. He did told me remove the Memory XMP1 I had going on since he said that might be problem i5 10600KF might not be able handle it. I am going restart PC now see if I get D6 Code again without XMP1 disabled. {Code 04 seems to be gone}

    Is not the XMP1 set on memory that causes D6 problem. I had strong feeling ain't no way XMP would cause any issues since PC does not lock nor any other problem that would come to mind. I have exhaustingly benchmark, stress tested, ETC ETC done all kind test and all pass with flying colors no lock ups no crashes. at this moment I am perplex and bother how long this is taking to solved. "Will someone please wake me". to quote nightmare on elm street movie.

    So the tech just wants you to replace the cpu first before the motherboard as it’s less of a hassle to deal with first.

    Well his working with me to see if CPU is faulty. But my opinion is CPU @ fault but the flaw might be so insignificant that only by Intel accepting it and connecting it to there machines to really see what is wrong with CPU would they ever figure out it is the CPU. Just one them odd things happens. Well if they decide to RMA it fine if not than I am actually going save some money buy me a Intel i9 10900k ($352.93 box) anyways they are cheap enough to get and good step up from 10600kf. My CPU still under warranty up to todays date of 04/02/2021 so I am ok with what ever outcome. Win some lose some.
