System fails to start due to missing GPU installation.
You've just installed a new motherboard and case, and you're transferring your old system into it. The new board is the Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H revision 1. When booting without a GPU (using IGPG), it runs smoothly on Windows. With the GPU connected, it either displays a long beep code or a single beep followed by freezing at the post screen when you press a key. The GPU functioned properly last night after being removed from another machine, and the power connector seems fine. You're planning to remove the cooler and re-seat the CPU to see if that resolves the issue, and others might have useful tips.
It seems you're looking for a recent replacement for your i7-3770 motherboard. Since it's likely outdated and possibly faulty, you might want to explore refurbished or older models that could still function if properly maintained.
Yeah, "new" to me. The board itself seems to be fine unless it's an issue with the PCIe slot itself
Start with the initial verification. Consider the alternative slot, and if necessary, switch to a different system or return to the original board.
Yes, you connect the screen cable to the GPU port when starting up with the graphics card connected.
I'm at the last stage of setting up a new BIOS. It lists version F4, but the newest stable is F23B (F22 for the latest release). They only provide files up to F18, and I'm getting an error saying "BIOS ID check error." I'm planning to look for an older BIOS such as F12 or F8 on some questionable site to test.
Avoid installing the BIOS versions you referenced. The BIOS check error indicates an incorrect installation attempt. The correct BIOS for your motherboard is F11a, and you can view a list of available options there. Please ensure you’re using the latest version listed for your specific card.
