Hey all. I posted this issue in the motherboard forums but over several days it got 4 reads and no replies while my problem persists.
First off, the current specs:
mobo: ASUS B250M-A DDR4
CPU: Intel Core i3 6100, 3.7 GHz
RAM: 2x GSKILL RIPJAWS 4GB DDR4
GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 960 4GB
PSU: Corsair TX850
Running Windows 10 on a Kingston 120GB SSD
The problem:
I recently put a new motherboard, processor, RAM and SSD into my older rig, so while I kept a few parts (GPU, PSU, case and peripherals) I was effectively starting a new computer from scratch. It took me a while to get everything operating, but every new part is totally functional in its own right.
However, because nothing in life is ever perfect, the fully functional Zotac GeForce GTX 960 I have been using for the last few months isn't displaying anything on my VGA (with a DVI converter) or HDMI connected monitors, both of which get a picture when connected to the CPU.
Every time I go into the BIOS and set the graphics to load via PCIE it just switches to CPU graphics on every reset, maintaining all other changes to BIOS settings. When using the onboard graphics I can see the Nvidia card in system devices, and GeForce experience was able to detect the card and install drivers. I can even adjust the fan with MSI Afterburner.
I had this problem with the B150M-A mobo I got at first, and after concluding that it was the issue, I returned it and got the B250-M but it's doing the exact same thing!
Trying to get all this to work has been driving me crazy for the last week so I would really appreciate it if someone knows how to get around this weird BIOS thing/can tell me I'm stupid for missing something really obvious.
Is this an ASUS thing?
