Hi. I received an Emtek GTX 1060 6GB GPU from a friend and it behaves unusually. It only functions in legacy mode, never in UEFI. I’m unable to access BIOS because the system is UEFI-based, and during a full Windows boot it starts producing output. I’ve tried various solutions: changing VBIOS, adjusting motherboard settings (CSM, video output), updating NVIDIA DisplayPort firmware, testing both DP and HDMI ports, using different monitors and motherboards. Still nothing works in UEFI. Interestingly, GPU-Z shows UEFI support, yet it fails to boot properly. Could this indicate a hardware issue?

When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's important to provide complete system details. List the specifications as follows:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:

Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. Also mention the current BIOS version for your motherboard.
In previous cases, if the motherboard or VBIOS didn’t support UEFI, you might encounter a black screen even after booting into OS GUI. Consider using an iGPU as a temporary fix, but be aware that updating the VBIOS could damage your GPU if not done carefully.
