Possible GPU problem
Possible GPU problem
I completed a fresh configuration. It appears stunning. Functions properly... but with reduced performance. On my 3070ti it booted, yet as Windows loaded, the display would freeze and no signal appeared on the screen. UEFI was very slow and unstable, making navigation uncomfortable. I used my previous 1070, which worked perfectly. Assuming a faulty GPU, I returned it for repair. The new 4070ti arrived in a matching white case, so I opted for that instead. Still, I encountered a black screen when Windows started. Occasionally, if conditions were just right, it would boot and operate smoothly. Immediately after a restart, it would revert to problematic behavior again. I’ve observed that after failures, the GPU fans cease, then restart repeatedly before stopping once more. It’s worth mentioning that it can launch without NVIDIA drivers, and the OS remains current with all updates. The motherboard was updated to the latest firmware. The card was properly seated and repositioned several times. All connections seem secure. I removed the ARGB extension in hopes it caused the problem—it didn’t. I swapped out the display cables and tested another monitor. I even attempted an extreme test: standing on one foot with my tongue protruding leftward while wearing a purple and green party hat. Ran DDU and performed a clean install. Reinstalled Windows from scratch, ensuring all drivers were fresh. Temperatures stayed below 65°C during stress tests and gaming sessions. I’m at a loss here—spending around $4500 on what looks like a high-end decorative piece. This isn’t my first build; it’s been a while since I worked on one, but I’m familiar with the process. The main concern is that once it runs, it maintains performance until I explicitly stop it. It handles load and stress tests well, including gaming. Most issues I’ve encountered should have failed under pressure. My Asus Prime X570 Pro AMD Ryzen 5800X3D is paired with Corsair Vengeance DDR4, 2TB NVMe M.2 750W PSU (likely Corsair), and the rm750x.
@Digital fusion I share the view of @191x7 too. This might relate to a BIOS update issue. Occasionally, certain PCIe device support is disabled to make room for other features, and sometimes someone makes a mistake by removing relevant CPU or component support. Have you attempted to revert the driver? New drivers can also introduce problems.
I don’t have specific details about the Asus Prime x570 Pro, but generally you can clear CMOS by resetting the BIOS or using a jumper switch on the motherboard. For the stars alignment, ensure your system is powered off and unplugged before accessing BIOS settings. If unsure, consult the manual or manufacturer support for exact steps.
There seems to be a newer driver available, while yours was last updated on December 22, 2022. This piece covers Linux, but it might also apply to Windows updates as well. It's likely not the only user experiencing this problem. Some older hardware models may struggle with certain BIOS updates. You mentioned you're wondering if your system can boot into Windows on the 4070ti without Invidia drivers installed—see the article here for details: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/01/nv...x-4070-ti/ Updated January 28, 2023 by An0maly_76
This was the most recent driver I encountered while diagnosing the problem. However, I notice a new release on the 24th that I plan to test. Since it needs a restart before installation, do you have any additional details from the device that might help if it fails to boot?
