I click GPU Boost, My Computer shutdowns and restarts

[aaa187]

OK, I went into my BIOS to check out the options it has and I found a GPU Boost setting.

When I clicked it, It gave me the option of "OK" and "Cancel". It didn't give me the chance to save the settings and confirm it, that was it.

When I clicked "OK", the BIOS menu froze and the computer shutdown and it restarted. No signal on the monitor at all, and it restarted again. It kept doing this for about 5 times and it start it up back as normal.

I went to the BIOS to see this again, and yeah, when I basically click GPU Boost, the system restarts for about 5 times and then it's over.


what could be causing this?

I have a GTX 670 FTW

i5 3570K

what do you need gpu boost for? a 670 is plenty fast as it is. also, i checked the board, i only saw CPU boost, not gpu.
if you want to oc, do it manually, that way you have more control.

Is not that I needed, I was just going through the options, I wasn't planning on confirming anything but when I hovered over that, I clicked "OK", and it restarted 5 times.

Just wondering what could be causing this.

UPDATE:


Everytime I restart my computer, the whole system shuts off. A system Restart wasn't like this, it would be on but just restart.

This time, the whole computer shuts off completely, then turns back on after 3 seconds.

Now, this was my first time shutting down for the day, the whole computer stays on.

I click "Shut Down", Windows closes, Monitos shuts off as it knows when the computer turns off, but the whole system is on like fans. I have to manually whole down the power button to shut it down.


EDIT 2: I searched, this guy had the same problem I have.

when you were in the bios and froze it you hung the bios. pull the plug on the pc let it drain then clear the cmos...also on the reboot check the mb bios rev..a lot of the new asus mb have a lot of bios patches.

 

[aaa187]

So what do I do?

upgrade the BIOS? nothing has worked and don't know why it started acting up like this.

This all happened after I clicked GPU BOOST on the BIOS.

Now the IGPU settings don't even show up anymore and the computer doesn't shut down unless I hold down the power button because all the fans are still spinning.

And it also restarts very weird.

 

[smorizio]

look at your mb guild fine the clear cmos jumper. you want to pull power from the wall and move the jumper or remove the cmos battery for 10 min. then put it back in and with a cleared cmos your issue should have stopped.

 

[aaa187]

thanks, I have cleared the cmos.

I moved the jumper to the other side and the back.

That has fixed my weird restarting and shutdown glitch.

Everything shuts down and restarts like normal.

Now the only problem is to see why it only gives me an option of PCI and PCIE but no IGPU for system graphic settings.

 

[smorizio]

when the cmos was reset the ipgpu settings went back to factory default of off. under primary video output there a line that says muilt monitor supprt and rendering. set both of them to enabled and then reboot. also make sure your running the newest bios for bug fixes.

 

[aaa187]

All of those settings are missing.

I used to have the "IGPU" settings under primary displays, but all it says is "PCI" and "PCIe"

There are no other settings but only setting to set my primary displays.

Everything was there before. This all happened after I clicked "GPU Boost" in the BIOS and the computer shutdown like 5 times. After that, those settings were gone and my computer started acting funny with the shutdown and restarts until I cleared the CMOS. But the settings are still gone.

I would really like to use my integrated GPU instead incase something ever happens to my GTX 670.

 

[smorizio]

rigt in the bios where you where is a few line below the primany display option. by default there turned off..turn them back on and reboot and your ipgpu will be back on.

 

[aaa187]

Yeah, there are no lines.

Only line there is "Primary Display" which shows no IGPU, just PCI and PCIe.

all of the other lines were there, but they disappeared after the whole "GPU boost" thing.

 

[smorizio]

try reflashing your bios to the newest bios rev. if not contact asus for help the setting should still be there in the bios.

 

[aaa187]

Alright, I flashed my bios to the newest version, and still nothing shows up.

Only option there is "Primary display" with only "Auto" and PCI PCIEe showing up, no IGPU.

Could the integrated graphics have died because I clicked "GPU Boost" in the BIOS?

 

[aaa187]

Could the CPU frequency have anything to do with it?

I checked on the Intel Identification Tool and the CPU speed is at 3.61 GHZ, while the Default is supposed to be at 3.40 GHZ.

 

[smorizio]

make sure on the first bios screen you have the system running is standard mode.
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1155/P8Z77-V_LK/E7654_P8Z77-V_LK.pdf
page 2-17 make sure both the gpu and epu bost switches are turned off.
page 3-20
ipgup muilt monitor...default is disabled...set it to enabled to turn on the ipgpu.
if it not there then it could be a mb issue or the ipgpu was burnt out.

 

[aaa187]

anyway I can pinpoint the exact problem? Would taking out the battery be any different than using the jumper to clear CMOS?

I've taken out the GTX 670 and hooked up the HDMI to the motherboard to see if the IGPU would work. I got 1 long beep and 3 short ones after that.

Would really suck if i RMA one part and it turns out to be another.

Does the GPU Boost setting can really cause damage to do all this or what?

 

[gades]

i also click the GPU boost like you said it also restart but i dont have any problems like yours
