Hi Tom's Hardware.

I have a bit of a problem. I went to a LAN-party, and when I came home, I went to setup my PC at home again. After plugging all in to the computer, I noticed it didn't show the normal bios screen startup, but went straight to Windows load (with a horrible resolution). Though there is no Bios startup screen, I can still press DEL to enter Bios and they GPU shows the bios menu, but with a bit weird resolution, with something of the screen not adjusted to the monitor. After loading Windows, the screen turns black. I didn't change any settings during the LAN-party and setup, the PC was just moved.

Then I tried to change to onboard graphic with the GPU still connected. Still jumps over Bios, but I can get past Windows load, without going into black screen. Then I tried to disconnect the GPU and startup again. This time it shows the normal startup Bios screen, and then proceeds into windows. Any ideas how to fix this.

I tried:
- Reseating the GPU
- Installing new driver for the GPU

GPU is MSI Twin Frozr GTX 760
Motherboard is Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z

Will try that now.

I took a pic with a short message it shows during startup, with the GPU installed. Doesn't show that message with the GPU out of the slot.

It says:
PCI Expres to SATAII HOST Controller ROM v1.07.23

Detecting Drives: Done: No Drives found

It has never showed that until now

See if what drive is recognized? There is no hard drive problem. The drive is recognized in bios. But the message is shown when the GPU is connected for some reason. Both drives, and the GPU is recognized when Windows is booted up through the onboard graphics card or safe mode.

I have both a DVI-I entrance and a DVI-D, and only the DVI-D works in safe mode, if that helps anything. Normally both ports work
