2 Problems with motherboard

Evwan_ · Sep 25, 2016

I have a itx motherboard with an Issue that I caused and something I cant solve. It wont detect my graphics card and its on PCI video only and I somehow need to change it back.

You need to reformulate your query and provide more detail. Do not assume that we know anythign about your rig, because we don't

Go into your BIOS and set Initiated Graphics Adapter to PEG

Multipack :

I cant see because the graphics card wont output anything and I cant see anything.

Multipack · Sep 25, 2016

Then use the iGPU output on your MB if you have one.

Hlsgsz · Sep 25, 2016

Simple way: find the reset CMOS jumper on your MB and reset teh BIOS(use the manual).
"Complicated": remove teh GPU and connect the monitor to teh MB, then go into teh BIOS and set graphics priority to auto or do a "load optimized defaults"

Multipack · Sep 25, 2016

You dont have to remove the GPU, just switch the lead

I assume the iGPU is already the active one and a full BIOS reset is quite drastic

Multipack :

You assume too much man on teh little info we have

Multipack · Sep 25, 2016

PCI is the mode for iGPU. PEG for GPU. OP said it in his first post.

Multipack :

I disabled it thats my issue. I set it on only PCI

Evwan_ · Sep 25, 2016

Heres the scoop, I dont know how to reset my BIOS, thats all that Im asking. There is only IGPU and PCIE settings in the bios. I cant get into the bios because I cant see anything.

Multipack · Sep 25, 2016

Take your CMOS battery out when power is disconnected for 15 seconds or so

Evwan_ · Sep 25, 2016

Multipack :

I have several ATX desktops and the battery is very visable. I dont see a battery here

Multipack · Sep 25, 2016

Ok I just looked and it doies have one but I admit I cant see it on the pic. I did also see your MB has dual bios.

Evwan_ · Sep 25, 2016

Multipack :

Wheres the dual bios switch

Multipack · Sep 25, 2016

Not sure. No mention of it in manual. Am not sure you can choose, it seems to be automatic. Just short the CMOS jumper with a screwdriver instead. And the battery is in a battery holder at the end of the PCI slot apparently..

Hlsgsz · Sep 25, 2016

Next to the CPU fan header there's a jumper called "CLR_CMOS" short tat for a couple of seconds with a screwdriver.

EDIT: Theres no dual BIOS switch. The backup one kicks in when the main one goes bad from an update. Plus, the BIOS itself and teh CMOS are different things.

You're welcome!

After being reset, same issue. Integrated is auto and primary is PCIE. The integrated works great. When I plug in the GPU then neither work.

Hlsgsz · Oct 1, 2016

Try disabling the integrated.

Evwan_ · Oct 2, 2016

Hlsgsz :

Thats how I had the problem of NO VIDEO and I needed to reset bios

Hlsgsz · Oct 2, 2016

Evwan_ :

Sorry, i confused threads.
Has that GPU ever worked in this rig? Does it work in a different one?
What's your PSU and are you connecting the PCIE power cable from it to the GPU?

Evwan_ · Oct 4, 2016

Yes it has worked previously and the PSU has 2 PCIE cables 1 6+2 and 1 6 pin. It worked perfectly and was a great HTPC before I took it apart for some other use.
