How to fix Boot logo distorted during POST after adding graphics card?

Luyuan20 · Aug 4, 2016

Recently picked up a new Asus GTX 1060 Strix GPU, but I realized after adding the GPU in the system and using the HDMI on the graphics card instead of the motherboard, both the Asus ROG logo that comes up during POST and the Windows 10 logo that comes after is distorted and fuzzy compared to before. I have a 1080p monitor.

Does anyone know if a way to correct it so the logos during boot are normal again? I will take a photo of the screen during bootup once I finish this post. I really want the sharp and non-distorted clean looking logo back again.

This may be a minor thing but it bugs me since it happens a new PC.
Specs:
i7-6700k
Asus VIII Maximus HERO (Motherboard)
Asus GTX 1060 Strix
16GB (2x8GB) G.skill Tridentz DDR4 2800mhz ram

Thank you for your time

Hit the auto-adjust button on your monitor when those screens are up, see if that helps. If you were using VGA before, a digital signal can seem more blocky on low resolution.

I'll give it a try, but since the PC has an SSD I don't think I can get the monitor's auto-adjust function to work in time before it gets to the desktop where it is perfectly normal. I am using a Dell S2340L 23" 1080p IPS monitor if that matters at all. In the bios, boot logo options are 'Auto', 'fullscreen', and 'off'. I have it set on 'Auto'

Is it normal to have distorted boot logos after installing GPUs? It's been like this with my MSI 1070 Gaming X, Asus GTX 1060 Strix, and MSI R9 280. And all of them on different motherboards and CPU combinations as well.

I can't say if it's normal for the bios logo to look different, I have not often seen it happen, and when I did, changing the connection type fixed it or it was just ignored.

So my Asus Strix 1060 gpu died and I bought an MSI 1060 Gaming X. Same distorted boot logo screen still happens along with the 4:3 bios itself stretched into a 16:9 ratio. I've tried to use auto-adjust on the monitor but it is greyed out for me. Any suggestions?

If the monitor has options for display settings, set it not to stretch to fill the screen. That will run it at native resolution. The side-effect of this is that if you lower resolution in Windows, it will probably have a border around the display.

I guess I'll just leave it alone. Distorted boot logo isn't super important anyways, but just annoying to look at on a new PC. Thanks for your help anyways. My monitor might be the culprit I'm afraid.

I FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE!!! It's been a while but I've finally solved it!! It turns out, turning the CSM or compatibility system module thing fixes the issue 100%!!! I forget where I found the answer, but if anyone else has the same issue later on, I found the solution!!! I previously had it on AUTO which I then changed to DISABLED.
