Hi experts,
I would like to request you assistance. I've upgraded my old mobo and CPU to a Asus X570 TUF + 3800X. On the first boot everything went fine, I got into windows (same installation, didn't want to format) and installed all the drivers, rebooted once or twice and started benchmarking the CPU, however I noticed that it was running very hot, then I turned off the PC to change the Wraith Prism to High.
After that, the system wouldn't boot anymore (coincidence?), the QLEDs would cycle and eventually stop at the VGA_LED (a few times also with the BOOT_LED on). After trying several things, I found out that with the GPU on the second slot (unfortunately its only x4) it would boot, warning that CMS had to be enabled because this VGA did not support UEFI (what?
).
I'm afraid that if I try to RMA the board and CPU they will say it's my GPUs fault (besides that it would take a long time given the pandemic...), so I'm trying everything I can before RMA. Please consider some of the troublshooting I've done so far
- Setting wraith to Low again
- Re-seating CPU
- Tried different RAM sticks
- Tried another device on PCIe slot 1 (x1 PCIe wireless card works fine)
- Tried the GPU on the old system (worked fine)
- Tried clearing CMOS, removing baterry, setting slot to PCIe Gen 3, enabling\disabling CMS
- Updating mobo BIOS to 3 different versions
As a last alternative I was thinking of updating GPU's BIOS, but I'm a little scared to do it since this GPU costs almost a year of minimum wage here in Brazil...
Any sugestions are welcome, thank you in advance!
