Problem description: I am trying to install a new video card (Geforce GTX 1060), but my computer won't pass POST or enter the BIOS while the card is in the PCI-Ex slot. When I turn on the computer, the card lights up, the fans spin and the pre-POST Intel logo screen comes up, but it is just stuck there. Previously I had a Geforce GTX 560 card, and it took two 6-pin power connector and it worked normally. This new card takes a 8-pin connector, and it my PSU has a 6-pin connector with two more hanging off of it. I only tried booting with these connectors on. The owner manual mentions that the card needs a minimum of a 400W power supply, but nominally my PSU is 430W, but now I suspect my PSU is just not up to par anymore and I need to replace it. Attempted fixes: I checked if the connections (both on the PCI slot and in the power connectors) were good. They looked good to me, but since this is my first time swapping parts on my PC, I could have missed something loose. Also tested the PC without the external video card, and it POSTed normally, so that's a relief. Recent changes: Yes, replaced a Geforce GTX 560 with a Geforce GTX 1060. -- Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit System specs: Reading off the original quote: Mobo Intel 1155P DH67BL Processor Intel 1155P Core i5 3570 3.4Ghz HDD Western Digital 500GB PSU ATX 430W Real Corsair 430CXV2 (CMPSU-430CXV2) Video card Zotac Geforce GTX 560 1GB DDR5 256bit 4008MHz (Currently not connected) RAM 2x DDR3 4096 1333 Kingston This was quoted and built in 2012. Additionally: Video card EVGA Geforce GTX 1060 6GB (Currently not connected) Location: Brazil I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes --- To be honest, I wasn't expecting to need to upgrade the power supply as well as the video card, but I suspect that's the issue here.

Do you have the latest motherboard BIOS installed? The changelog lists a fixed bug where the system wouldn't POST with a PCI-Express 3.0 videocard.

I tried updating using the express install and it fails to install: None of the troubleshooting steps apply. In my case, when the computer reboots and changes to the updating screen, the update tries to apply itself but it reboots the computer without any message, and then that one shows up when Windows reboots. Should I try using the other options or it doesn't matter? Space Kablooey fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Dec 21, 2016 |

Update the BIOS using the F7 method they describe.

Glad that it's working! It's not too uncommon to need a BIOS update to use hardware that has significantly evolved from when the motherboard was released (you always need a BIOS update for a CPU upgrade). I checked the BIOS changelog and saw that mentioned in a previous release, but even if it wasn't specifically mentioned I would have recommended trying it on general principle.
