Hello and thanks for any help in advance.
I'm in the process of building a new machine with mostly new components. I've based the system on an Asus z170-a motherboard with a 7600k processor, evga 650w power supply and 16gb of corsair ram.
Using the on-board graphics everything works nicely. However when I plug in my old graphics card (gigabyte gtx970 twin turbo oc) I get mixed results. Sometimes the system will boot and use the graphics card, sometimes it will use the on-board graphics and the gtx970 won't be detected (in windows or in the bios) and sometimes the system won't post and I simply get a screen with an underscore. When the latter happens I have to remove the card and reboot to get the system to post.
I've tried a different graphics card (older gen card) and everything works correctly which would point to the gtx970 being the issue but when I put the gtx970 in my older machine it works faultlessly.
I've upgraded the the motherboard bios to the latest version. Beyond that I'm a bit lost, are there any motherboard settings I should be tweaking? Or is it the case that these components just won't work together.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
