UPDATE: Windows 11 now works in CSM mode with the current updates, change out of UEFI to CSM and solve all issues other than slow boot times which is fixed by enabling "Memory Context Restore". If using UEFI bios the problems still persist sometimes there are other issues such as the GPU it's self watch Part 3 video of why the bios won't show ruclips.net/video/DCASg2EbCYs/видео.htmlsi=1EhWkgSxJroZlM51ruclips.net/video/7pn9e6GV-cM/видео.html

Hello Eric! I wanted to come back here to thank you for the tip! Recently I switched from Legacy to UEFI and I've had this issue since then. I tried many things but updating DP firmware from nvidia helped! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I appreciate this, I was confused because I always used DVI for my 144hz monitor but when I switched to a 280hz and needed to use DP I was confused on why when I reset my PC it was never wanting to show anything.
I switched from MBR to GPT and then to UEFI from Legacy in BIOS in prep for windows 11. Then I needed to set TPM to enabled. Computer never let me boot back into BIOS nor could I use any of the recovery tools in Update and Security (I have 2 monitors on a GTX 1060). People were telling me to clear the CMOS, Take the graphic card out, the memory out etc. I probably spent 10 hrs going in to command prompt trying different things. And then you give me this and it solved it. God Bless you a thousand times!!!
Awesome glad this helped. I had the same issue when I got my MSI motherboard that had UEFI bios default and I had the 1070. It made me so annoyed when I couldn't enter the bios anymore. I experienced your pain before ;)
A sub to the channel and sharing this channel to your techie friends would be awesome. If you like tech history I have the history of AMD or the much shorter story version as well as the history of VIA Technologies which you'd of never heard of unless you were building computers in the late 90s till 2005 ish. I didn't even know what happened to the company till I did a bunch of research
Glad that helped... my 1070 was a problem when I upgraded my monitor to the LG 27GL850... just like your monitor it is the display port version that made the bios hidden.
Thanks Eric that solved my problem. I must have read in excess of a 100 opinions on how to resolve this! I wish I had watched this video first. Cheers, Stuart
I had this problem for a while with a gtx 980 ti after i update the bios version of my b450 tomahawk for ryzen 5000 series. Thx i solved the problem with the link in the description.

Thanks for this video! I built a new computer, but transferred my old 1080ti (will do for now) and was hit with this issue - no BIOS screen from GPU DP - everything else working (integrated HDMI/DP and GPU HDMI). Spent hours updating drivers, changing BIOS settings and updating/downgrading MB BIOS... nothing (so much swearing... ). Then found this and the issue was resolved within 5 minutes.
I had exactly the same problem and it is solved with the suggested steps, thanks a lot!!!!. My computer was initially on Windows 10 Pro. It is on ASUS ROG Maximus X Code 300 Series mother board with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphic card. My Samsung 4K monitor is connected to NVIDIA display port. Everything was working with this configuration until I change Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) setting on the bios and upgrade it to Windows 11. Since then I cannot get BIOS display if I connect the monitor to the NVIDIA card (If I take the display from the motherboard then it works fine). The behavior what I see is after few seconds of blanks screen it take directly to windows login screen. The NVIDIA graphic firmware update solve the problem.

Thanks Eric/ Not Bios. This really help me alot with my new PC build (Z790 chipset motherboard with intel 13600k). Sharing what I encounter with my Palit GTX 1070 Dual. As per Eric's advices, I downloaded the firmware and activated the update. When the firmware is actived, my screen freeze shortly and it is unclear of the update was completed. My solution was to switch to the iGPU for video and thankfully the video output was pending me to initiate the update. After the updated, I was able to restart without the screen freezing or the restart function not work. I suspect the firmware has been updated post the above video, as in my case, I can download the firmware directly, without Nvidia doing a check on my GPU over the internet.
Oh man you have no idea how thankful i am to you. Im quite the expert in trouble shooting PC issues but this right here was something added to my knowledge. I sincerely appreciate you brother
I do a lot of my own trouble shooting as well, built lots of systems and ran my own business. Even this issue stumped me because Nvidia seems to hide the download and notification of this. Looked further into things and experienced personal and from others more reasons which is why I have 3 videos on the reasons... Plus another specifically to do with MSI AMD AM5 motherboards... And even a specific Samsung 4K monitor I know about that I made no video about. It's just crazy.
I was worried my card had an issue even tho GPU-Z said it supports UEFI. I never thought there was an update for the DP frimware causing the issue. You helped me a lot, Thank you!
Man you saved me!! My PC wasnt start If HDMI cable pluged on my gpu... Only updating the firmware of my nvidea gpu the problem was solved. Thank you Man!!!!

*@**4:30** you showed how NOT TO FIND the update, then suddenly jumped to downloading it?!?* I have exactly this problem, Win10 boots fast but no access to UEFI/BIOS, as in when I press blindly _(DEL, F2, F6)_ to access all I get is a blank screen for Setup/Boot drive selection(for restores)/BIOS Update _(system doesn't boot to Win10, cap and numlock respond, I just can't see anything on the screen)_ Two things: - what the.... you included looking for the update tool and not finding it _(drama?)_ , and FAILED to show how you got to it??? \___ that's ok for me, as I was aware of the displayport firmware updater, just my GPU wasn't listed, so disregarded it - which GPU's are affected by this? My RTX 2070 and old backup GTX 760SC both fail to display EUFI/BIOS on any of the 9 ports AsRock B450M here, not running secure boot, and still crippled by BIOS BLINDNESS _(the BIOS is there, you just can't see it)_
I was first showing that link can not be found by searching the Nvidia site and I can not even find it by searching. I have the link however which is in my video description. If you go to the download link in my video description and read the page all the supported GPUs on the download page the supported GPUs are listed. Did you watch part 1 video? If you have a VR headset connected it takes over the bios display, some people had success using a TV as their display to change settings. The UEFI problem never effected either my AsRock B450 ITX or the AsRock B350 ITX build I made but my MSI B550I Game Edge. I build computer systems often, you should be checking the RTX2070 manufacturer for an update to your GPU.

Just encountered this issue today with a 4090. With the 4090 NOT installed and using the integrated graphics, I get the BIOS and it's fine (using a display port to Dual DVI adaptor). With the 4090 installed, black screen, no BIOS. And since Windows is not yet installed, I get nothing at all. The monitor is Dual DVI, not display port so I hope this fix still works.
Like I mentioned in video #2 of the series on this topic DVI and older connections than HDMi / displayport can cause issues... Multi monitor... There is an update for your GPU I believe but also the MSI B650 motherboards
I thought My mobo was dead! Spent like 6 hours trying to fix this, even talked Asus support, but nothing... untill I saw your video. Thank you so much!

Guys insert the display cable in the graphic card not in the place where you insert the usb places,like you have 3 ,4 ports right outside the graphic card, this worked for me,that showed me the bios.😅
This worked for me, thanks. I noticed bios does not display on bootup, also tried to enter into bios to enable xmp profile but does not display the bios settings. This problem started after I installed the updated driver for my gpu.
Odd cause software does not load before the bios display. The bios has to function before anything else is run. Maybe the computer added firmware micro code to the drivers. Thanks for your feedback
I've tried every step mentioned in your videos and I'm still unable to resolve. I'v tried plugging in an older GPU, different monitors, HDMI ports, Diplay ports. Nothing is working.
If you are still having issues after, if you let me know your specs CPU, GPU and motherboard it'd tell something about what the issue could be... I should have technically made a 3rd video because there are at least 3 other ways to fix the issue... like the CPU rather than GPU could be displaying the bios, a lot of people leave their VR headsets connected not realizing the headset is taking over the bios display. part 1 video has a pile of reasons not listed in this video.
*Another potential solution* So, I followed everything in this video, no avail. I followed other people's solution to no avail. And the thing that fixed it for me was.. well.. rediculous. I have a valve index VR headset that is plugged into my pc VIA Display Port.. IF you have one too, unplug it.. It looked like my pc was prioritizing the VR headset as a monitor and was attempting to display my BIOS and POST screen in that.. I unplugged the headset, restarted my PC and boom.. my BIOS showed up. I understand this is a VERY niche solution. But, it worked for me, and there may be others that have the same issue. :)
Nice... I do mention moving connected devices or slots for connected devices on video part 1... this was only "1" solution for 1 specific problem. The other video is a pile of solution, never thought about a VR headset; that's a unique one.
@@sparketech you're telling me! the funny thing is, it didn't actually physically show anything in the headset! But, it worked for me, so i thought I'd share just in case someone has the same bizarre scenario :) I appreciate your video
I simply took the hdmi cable out of my monitor and put it in my TV and the BIOS instantly came up it doesn’t always involve a bunch of procedures and firmware updates etc recommended by a bunch of people with no computer training just guessing about what to do.
Your 100% right but this was an Nvidia issue specifically. If you looked in my description you'd of seen that very thing shown in my other video More Fixes - "Fix Bios Not Showing; black screen" ruclips.net/video/CL9wx_yWeFc/видео.html
@@sparketech Hi! Oh I was just speaking to the specific solution and not trying to scare the non tech savvy people away. I think you make great informative videos and provide excellent information for people to use. Sorry if it came off the wrong way I wasn’t trying to undercut your message. When I said recommended by a bunch of people with no computer training I was referring to those who make comments on the video suggesting things that they obviously know nothing about that if followed by an unsuspecting person could brick their system. Thank you again for your good work.
@@gjman1972 Thank you BUT you did make me realize that on my comments below to put more emphasis on what option or video to go with first. Thank you for that, in my other video I warn to proceed with caution before taking the steps in this video.
@@gjman1972 I only wish it was easier to make RUclips be able to refer a part 1 than a part 2 step or at least add a small video chunk to add that comment. This was the first video I had made for the situation but even a techie might not know this & non tech users 100% won't realize the risks. I had one AMD GPU user that used this even though right in the title "Nvidia GPU". That is what made me realize I really need to make a second video.
@@sparketech Hey I just posted a time lapse video of a PC build I just did with a white Corsair 5000x RGB case, here it is ruclips.net/video/x9VirbjsJs8/видео.html
I have temporarily installed my old gtx760 in my dextop as I'm waiting for my 1080ti to get repaired. A mosfet on it blew up and its about 3 weeks away from me. I have the same LG display as you. Using DP cable, display is set to DP 1.2 as the GPU only supports 1.2. I have the latest available GPU drivers installed. I'm getting a black screen until after POST, seeing the last second of a spinning loading-wheel from the Asus Mobo before it boots into win10. I can actually get into BIOS as the USB peripherals turn on and I can just spam DEL and after that blindy press F10+Enter to quit the BIOS and boot into windows. It's just not displaying the BIOS. I can however get into BIOS connected to the MOBO DP. I know it shouldn't be this way. The reason I'm trying to get into the BIOS in the first place is because it's not recognizing my HDD. Win10 is installed on primary M.2 SSD. Not sure what to change in BIOS or where to go from here. I was going to enable CSM to try and get the HDD detected, but I obviously want to be able to access BIOS without having to connect the display to MOBO directly. Any help is appreciated.
@@sparketech I have managed to get my HDD to work again, it was probably not seated properly, but I connected it to a different mobo slot anyway. My "GPU BIOS" problem still exists unfortunately. I don't have an option in the BIOS to set the display to PEG. I would try the suggested DP drivers, but I'm sure my GPU supports DP 1.2 only and the GPU is not in the list of supported 7xx cards either. I have a feeling I just might not have the right drivers though...
@@vergaerd drivers don't have anything to do with the bios. The bios loads before any driver is activated. GPU firmware is the only form of software to fix a GPU issue unless it were something else specifically... Every motherboard I have ever seen that has a PCI-E slot has a first display option. PEG is just one of many terms used, mine is PCI-E and there are other names used for the GPU it depends on the motherboard maker... It's a pain when there is no consistency. It you tell me your exact motherboard brand and exact model name I might be able to find your bios option location and name... Once I am not at work that is.
You go to your manufacturers website of your GPU to get the firmware update would be the next step. There are other options but this is assuming it is a GPU issue together with a UEFI bios
You're Welcome but did you find your issue because I have fixes in my other videos and I have even a new video with an MSI motherboard bios issue blocking the bios on the AM5 boards. If you have AMD like the 500 series there is a fix IF you aren't using Windows 11 otherwise using a TV as a display is an option.
I have a Gigabyte RTX 2070 windforce 2x 8gb that doesn't show my bios at all, loads right into the lock screen after about a minute of booting up. Pc crashes and goes into a reboot as soon as i open a web browser. Weird thing is, it showed my bios once during a random try and never again. After the first web browser crash and reboot it'll crash by itself after a couple seconds on the desktop. Old gpu works completely fine. Is this a known pattern to you, if so, what would you recommend me doing?
If you're not having over heating issues with the CPU or some other thing. Memory issues can cause the same problem. Is your motherboard bios up to date? A failing spinning hard drive can have a similar effect as well but usually not when in the bios screen.

evga 2060, main monitor is on HDMI and TV is on DP using an adapter so that it can use HDMI. BIOS will not show on monitor, but will show on TV. does using a DP to HDMI adapter somehow turn the DP into priority 1 because the GPU thinks it's HDMI? any way to fix it so the monitor is on priority? i have tried putting the monitor on the DP/HDMI adapter, it does show the BIOS, but the monitor is treated as 2nd priority after the OS boots, using FreeBSD, it really screws up the login screen, even when I try to tell the OS that the Monitor on DP/HDMI adapter should be main. The only real viable thing to do is to tell the GPU that HDMI (not the adapter one) SHOULD be priority1.. thus far, I can't do it. I'm thinking of trashing this thing and buying a new one.
This would be a lot easier to grasp in person BUT adapters are a common problem. Displayport and HDMI aren't exactly fully cross compatible. The point is adapters when using modern GPUs with old screens suck. I might know a way around your issue but depending on your version of windows and your motherboard you might be locked in to the bios type you are using. I have other videos with other solutions. This one is strictly firmware related and not compatible with your GPU... I still think it's likely an adapter issue causing you problems.
it says "the gpu firmware could not be updated" i tried restarting my pc multiple times and i still wasn't able to make it work. I'm using an gtx 1070 with a fully updated bios. I think it might be because im using windows 11, Is there any solution?
Please follow the links for my other 2 videos. There are many reasons, it is just finding out which one applies to you. It could be something as simple as your bios initial display being set to onboard graphics, a VR headset connected to name a couple
I bought used RTX 3070, it was working fine for like 3 hours, I did slight undervolt and lowered temperature a bit (max was around 64 celsius) and after I turned off my PC it won't turn on again, just black screen. I can hear sounds from desktop and from games, but the screen is black, I tried 3 different monitors, 3 different cables, 3 different setups, same problem. I connected PCs with team viewer and I can install driver for RTX 3070 from other PC, it recognizes the card and works fine on other PC over team viewer, I can play games, temperature is fine, fans are spinning, but on my screen is just black. I switched it with RX 6700 XT and is working fine now, but still want to know what's happening with RTX 3070, any suggestions? Thanks
More specs could tell me more... If some of the AMD drivers weren't completely gone that can happen. DDU can fix that. Other problem could be if you got an MSI B650 motherboard, it sometimes fights with Nvidia cards and memory. Most likely I think would be simply the old AMD drivers or it temporarily switch to CPU built in graphics.
Lol, hope that is what fixed the issue. I have the other reasons in another video. This is a display port 1.4 monitor with a UEFI bios with an Nvidia series GPU.
@@sparketech Appreciate this! I'm using an AMD Radeon RX 480 aaaand I'm only installing the driver update software now.

@@joshuaholton7547 do not follow this for your fix... look in the description for the other video. This is Nvidia GPUs only. My other video has a pile of different solutions including the Fury X and Nano GPUs and more
@@joshuaholton7547 That is not a graphics driver. It is a form of firmware that is an update for the display via firmware update. Only option is a dual PCI-E computer or on board graphics and flash your GPU with the vendors firmware... Asus or what ever exact manufacturer made your graphics card.
Hello Eric! Thanks a lot for this update. Looks like it has helped a lot of people. This thing happened to me and I tried the firmware update. Unfortunately, my card, an RTX 2070, isn't supported. Is there anything else that I can do?
@@parmesant I see you're correct... Not a fan of Zotac, stores like Staples in Canada sell that brand. I have less than 6 hours to sleep before having to head back to work... What CPU are you using? If your CPU has built in graphics you can use that to get to the bios and change from UEFI bios to Legacy or something to fix the problem.
@@sparkestudio I have an R5 3600. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an iGPU. And I'd strongly suggest that you don't spend any more time on this (gotta catch them Zzz) (Zotac gives a 5 year extended warranty which is quite peaceful imo)
And secondly your GPU might have a firmware update direct from the manufacturer. If you look up your GPU, the exact one brand and model there could be an update for it.
Yes there are many fixes, this one is not for the 2000 or 3000 series. For newer cards you need to go to the manufacturers website... Asus, MSI or what ever the brand and get the update for your exact card, if you have Zotac I wish you good luck. There are many other reasons some are listed in my other video. If there is no firmware update for your GPU connect to a TV and changed out of UEFI bios... another problem can be if the CPU has intergrated graphics and the CPU is taking over the initial display and VR headsets also take over the bios display.
Real experience! NO easy fix. It cause from degraded DP or bad cable. some Nvidia card's DP ports requires very good DP cable. Disconnect power is temporary. And do not use more than 1 DP for multiple monitors at once to 2K+ 144HZ gaming. This will cause random black screen and washed out HDR. No BIOS screen at booting is sign of bad cable. After you do this method to fix, you will experience another problem in windows such as cannot wakeup from sleep (black screen), freesync flicker/intermittenly black screen etc. This problem affect with new widescreen 2K+ and 144Hz. This type of signal from VGA damage cable if cable has bad quality. Do not buy braid cable (no box) from china. All of them are crap. Use PVC cable normal one with VESA / dsp 1.2 support DP1.4 8K.
This is only regarding the bios not showing, rarely to do with the issue you speak of the monitor is more likely going to be running at only 60hz till entering windows however people using 4K displays are far more likely going to get blank screens even in the bios. You wouldn't believe how many RX580s and RX590s are fixed with a bios update. Good tip though for viewers though, DP 1.4 8K included with the MSI MPG321QRF-QD has issues even at 2K when using beyond 165Hz on it's 175Hz OC mode for a second or 2 going blank randomly at times. I have been wondering how to make an interesting enough video on this topic and to prove any sort of point it may require that I use one of the fault cables I do have laying around. I've ordered a display port 2.0 cable which is rated for 4K@165Hz to replace the included cable. Issue also happened on my old 1080P ultrawide (2560 x 1080) BenQ XR3501 which I've ordered 2 of one was good and one had drop outs using Display Port 1.2.
@@sparketech I know your point but this symptom is just point to some nVidia cards need very high quality of DP cable to fix. Yes, some not. Cheap cable cause damage overtime it use. I think some material on connector is the main part that can degrade it. My latest 1.4 cheap cable can use well only for 2 days then it start to flicker and not show bios screen and 144hz cannot set (Black Screen). Reboot / try to power cycling many times but it will goes back to not show BIOS again after 3-4 reboot after. (I use BENQ EX3415R monitor with RTX 3080) Then I buy the new one yesterday (1.4 VESA/Box package/Warranty from factory) and go to replace my old cable without power on my PC first. and after replace, my BIOS show as normal and I can set 144HZ + HDR without do anything special. I search many website about nVidia DP problem and many people face this especially on UWQHD monitors with 144hz. Cable with no brand or branded but packaging is only in zip lock bag are from china. Those are cheap cables. Many people give it 5* because they not buy it to use with high resolution+high refresh rate GPU and monitor.
@@MenniePlay Let's not forget all the 5 star reviews that are given as paid reviews. And your right a lot of people don't use high resolution high refresh rate monitors... You're comment may give me enough to make a video as long as I didn't throw out my other DP cable. Some may degrade but many cables are just bad from the factory... Degrading cables could be oxidizing internally and either have damage or were not made well in the first place.
@@sparketech Cheers. Not much DP cables content on RUclips and DP std has more problems than DVI or HDMI now. Cable degrade is real. If you got the GPU with low DP ports quality, this will ruin you cable so fast (If you use high res + 144HZ or more).
@@MenniePlay The latest Nvidia driver is missing G-sync from my options since I left it disabled. My faulty cable worked with it disabled... so I just made a short out of the video with the little time left ruclips.net/video/RuSPxRe4O3c/видео.html
For me the issue was that my monitor's DP didn't work until Windows loaded, but HDMI worked fine. I have a different monitor where all DP ports work fine though.
I changed processor and ram, and now bios wont show up. I press del and it says "prepare to enter setup", and instead of entering bios I get a blank screen and a dash. Otherwise windows will run and enter normally, so there is no problem, the only problem is that bios doesnt show up.
I need specs, motherboard, monitor, CPU... And I guess and how many sticks of memory and are they all from the same package. Same specs and brand means zero if not from the same package it isn't actually matching. Try this one thing one stick of memory in slot A2. Even memory can stop the bios from showing... Especially "unstable" memory
@@sparketech Solved, I traced back the error to when I had another ram and processor, so I changed the ram from 1866 Mhz to a ram of 1600 MHz and now I can access the bios. Not a real problem though, cos I didnt need to enter the bios, but I wanted to solve the problem anyway.
have the same problem but my GPU is RX 580 8GB Nitro . what to do. tried HDMI/DP and CMOS reset nothing good I really want to access bios and install OS to my new SSD
When I turn on my pc, my monitor shows black screen ( like it is powered off and no power indicator ) and then it shows the Windows Lockscreen. My monitor is an old LG LED one, VGA display, using VGA to HDMI converter. Have RTX 3060, Tomahawk B550 and R5 5600x. But when I connect it to my smart tv by HDMI cable, it shows the MSI MAG logo and I can enter the bios. But it doesn't show when connecting my monitor. I don't know what is causing this. Can you please tell?
Everyone who has ever written using a converter for display cannot get the bios to show. My honest opinion is you need a new monitor. I believe I mention this in my new video I posted 3 weeks ago which you probably didn't see. Old displays are now modern bios compatible.

Hello Recently I bought a New computer without an integrated GPU so there is only an Nvidia quadro with only displayports in it. In my case when I turn it ON the screen is blank, and there is no Windows on it yet so it stays like that.Do you think it could be the same problem on my case As well Thanks for your answers in advance.
@@tamasmezei3715 it is possible, there is after all an update which I list in the description of the other videos for quadro cards. it isn't always GPU btw which several reasons are listed in the other 2 videos. MSI B650 motherboards are also an issue after EXPO / XMP memory is enabled. Also AMD motherboards take a while before they even boot up for the first time for memory training.
@@sparketech Thanks for your answer. My motherboard is a Dell 08HPGT and the GPU is a Quadro M4000. The other problem I could think of is that my monitor only have a DVI and a VGA port so basically I used a Displayport HDMI adapter with a HDMI DVI cable to at least connect it together. Im not sure if it could be a problem but hopefully not.
@@tamasmezei3715 in video part 2 i mentioned adapters can cause issues. It's common especially if you have a UEFI bios enabled... Easy solution to connect to a TV as I mention in my other videos.
You never told me what your GPU is and did you check if your GPU is even the ones listed as supported. There are 3 videos this one is only firmware the other one is based on connected displays and other items, the 3rd video is other things not everyone understood and something I missed and a 3000 series specific update which does not support 3000 series
Man thank you so much, you saved my 1080ti ! I was going crazy, because I switch to a new B550 mobo, and renewed my thermal paste on the graphics card and I tought i messed it up! Thounsands thanks to you! You are the real MVP!
for me if the monitor is on / awake it boots fine and I can get to bios, but with monitor off i get the issue, so can't wake on Lan etc to access from my other pc etc. It just stops at no VGA card and black screens. hdmi connection gpu to display I dont have onboard gpu so no conflicts etc. my system is not even a year old or rather just over half a year old and the RTX is a few months at most. Asus Prime b550m wifi AMD 3600 3600mhz 16gig RAM RTX 3060 Happened after i updated the bios, before was fine. But the bios update did change all the bios settings and i dont remember what it was on, due to reading writing issues i leave things as default normally. CMS is for old hardware I read, I enabled that and system boots as should even with screen off. But mine is certainly not old so what on earth is happening?, I mean the motherboard came out after the AMD3000 to directly support them and the rtx3060 is not old at all only brought it recently, and the bios is a 2023 version so there should not be this issues. It looks like the gpu has a higher power drawn with cms enabled might just be me? does cms enabled make a difference? any insight to why this is would be helpful, is Uefi reading drivers from windows? to boot, ask as i wonder if due to a gtx being prior is it conflicting from there? would seem silly to read windows and guess doesn't make sense as how would you format format a new windows especially if you can get to bios without cms enabled. any help would be great id like uefi if possible the windows boot says uefi / legacy not other os for what ever that means, does this mean cms is bios and Windows 10 is uefi, also is that why win 11 is not available? Don't want 11 anyway but whats going on?
In my video description I have all the solutions in one video. It's a newer video, I'll try to read you're long message shortly ruclips.net/video/pzUk1HmkmKE/видео.html
You need the windows install to be done with UEFI enabled or it'll just black screen. I've experienced this previously and had to reset by bios to convert back to CMS. Someone else that commented on my new video also experienced this. You must install windows from start to finish with UEFI or it just won't work. Hope this answers your question.
@@sparketech yer it is installed it works if panel is on but not off, irony is the issues only started after bios update, like they muffed it up and i cant remember the version that it was on where it works. so stuck using the cms option. when from gtx no issues uefi to rtx no issues to bios update and bam issue. will boot fine with uefi if panel is on but not standby will just beep and black screen. you think its gpu if not knowing it was a bios update for it too bugger up.
@@sparketech yer the 3060 has the latest version, id say the motherboard bios update change hidden setting that i cant access and thats why rolling back it still remains a issue. i had a old asus board where once in the menu you hit ctl and a f key and it unlock so many hidden setting i feel that might be whats going on. ill live with cmd less headaches. i hope cmd is never nurfed
UPDATE: Windows 11 now works in CSM mode with the current updates, change out of UEFI to CSM and solve all issues other than slow boot times which is fixed by enabling "Memory Context Restore".
If using UEFI bios the problems still persist sometimes there are other issues such as the GPU it's self watch

Hello Eric! I wanted to come back here to thank you for the tip! Recently I switched from Legacy to UEFI and I've had this issue since then. I tried many things but updating DP firmware from nvidia helped! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I've been torturing myself with that issue for week. Your video saved my sanity. Thank you very much!
I appreciate this, I was confused because I always used DVI for my 144hz monitor but when I switched to a 280hz and needed to use DP I was confused on why when I reset my PC it was never wanting to show anything.
You literally saved me, this is what I’ve been lookin for, fast, accurate and useful, thank you so much
I switched from MBR to GPT and then to UEFI from Legacy in BIOS in prep for windows 11. Then I needed to set TPM to enabled. Computer never let me boot back into BIOS nor could I use any of the recovery tools in Update and Security (I have 2 monitors on a GTX 1060). People were telling me to clear the CMOS, Take the graphic card out, the memory out etc. I probably spent 10 hrs going in to command prompt trying different things. And then you give me this and it solved it. God Bless you a thousand times!!!
Awesome glad this helped. I had the same issue when I got my MSI motherboard that had UEFI bios default and I had the 1070. It made me so annoyed when I couldn't enter the bios anymore. I experienced your pain before ;)

Thanks.
An update to my drivers was indeed what I needed to access BIOS. Thanks for the help!
Thank you ! It worked for my GTX 970 and Asus DisplayPort 1440p screen.
Glad that helped... my 1070 was a problem when I upgraded my monitor to the LG 27GL850... just like your monitor it is the display port version that made the bios hidden.
Thanks Eric that solved my problem. I must have read in excess of a 100 opinions on how to resolve this! I wish I had watched this video first. Cheers, Stuart

Thanks for this video! I built a new computer, but transferred my old 1080ti (will do for now) and was hit with this issue - no BIOS screen from GPU DP - everything else working (integrated HDMI/DP and GPU HDMI). Spent hours updating drivers, changing BIOS settings and updating/downgrading MB BIOS... nothing (so much swearing... ). Then found this and the issue was resolved within 5 minutes.
Thank you so much!!!! I've been trying to fix my power light for a few weeks and this is the only resource that actually worked!
I had exactly the same problem and it is solved with the suggested steps, thanks a lot!!!!. My computer was initially on Windows 10 Pro. It is on ASUS ROG Maximus X Code 300 Series mother board with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphic card. My Samsung 4K monitor is connected to NVIDIA display port. Everything was working with this configuration until I change Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) setting on the bios and upgrade it to Windows 11. Since then I cannot get BIOS display if I connect the monitor to the NVIDIA card (If I take the display from the motherboard then it works fine). The behavior what I see is after few seconds of blanks screen it take directly to windows login screen. The NVIDIA graphic firmware update solve the problem.
Glad the update helped
Thank You! This solved my problem!
this actually helped so much, my card is decently aged so i thought it was a sign of it dying. this video saved me thank you so much

Thanks Eric/ Not Bios. This really help me alot with my new PC build (Z790 chipset motherboard with intel 13600k). Sharing what I encounter with my Palit GTX 1070 Dual. As per Eric's advices, I downloaded the firmware and activated the update. When the firmware is actived, my screen freeze shortly and it is unclear of the update was completed. My solution was to switch to the iGPU for video and thankfully the video output was pending me to initiate the update. After the updated, I was able to restart without the screen freezing or the restart function not work. I suspect the firmware has been updated post the above video, as in my case, I can download the firmware directly, without Nvidia doing a check on my GPU over the internet.
Oh man you have no idea how thankful i am to you. Im quite the expert in trouble shooting PC issues but this right here was something added to my knowledge. I sincerely appreciate you brother
I do a lot of my own trouble shooting as well, built lots of systems and ran my own business. Even this issue stumped me because Nvidia seems to hide the download and notification of this. Looked further into things and experienced personal and from others more reasons which is why I have 3 videos on the reasons... Plus another specifically to do with MSI AMD AM5 motherboards... And even a specific Samsung 4K monitor I know about that I made no video about. It's just crazy.

Thank you sooooo so much for this video. I thought my GPU was messed up. This was extremely useful e time-saving! Thank you!

thank you so so much! this fixed my black screen and made my bios time much faster. you saved my day
It worked. Thankyou so much
*@**4:30** you showed how NOT TO FIND the update, then suddenly jumped to downloading it?!?*
I have exactly this problem, Win10 boots fast but no access to UEFI/BIOS, as in when I press blindly _(DEL, F2, F6)_ to access all I get is a blank screen for Setup/Boot drive selection(for restores)/BIOS Update _(system doesn't boot to Win10, cap and numlock respond, I just can't see anything on the screen)_
Two things:
- what the.... you included looking for the update tool and not finding it _(drama?)_ , and FAILED to show how you got to it???
\___ that's ok for me, as I was aware of the displayport firmware updater, just my GPU wasn't listed, so disregarded it
- which GPU's are affected by this? My RTX 2070 and old backup GTX 760SC both fail to display EUFI/BIOS on any of the 9 ports
AsRock B450M here, not running secure boot, and still crippled by BIOS BLINDNESS _(the BIOS is there, you just can't see it)_
I was first showing that link can not be found by searching the Nvidia site and I can not even find it by searching. I have the link however which is in my video description. If you go to the download link in my video description and read the page all the supported GPUs on the download page the supported GPUs are listed. Did you watch part 1 video? If you have a VR headset connected it takes over the bios display, some people had success using a TV as their display to change settings. The UEFI problem never effected either my AsRock B450 ITX or the AsRock B350 ITX build I made but my MSI B550I Game Edge. I build computer systems often, you should be checking the RTX2070 manufacturer for an update to your GPU. If you don't know how I can find it with a quick search of your "exactly correctly fully named" GPU model. Mess up and you brick your GPU with the wrong update.

Just encountered this issue today with a 4090. With the 4090 NOT installed and using the integrated graphics, I get the BIOS and it's fine (using a display port to Dual DVI adaptor).
With the 4090 installed, black screen, no BIOS. And since Windows is not yet installed, I get nothing at all.
The monitor is Dual DVI, not display port so I hope this fix still works.
Like I mentioned in video #2 of the series on this topic DVI and older connections than HDMi / displayport can cause issues... Multi monitor... There is an update for your GPU I believe but also the MSI B650 motherboards

Guys insert the display cable in the graphic card not in the place where you insert the usb places,like you have 3 ,4 ports right outside the graphic card, this worked for me,that showed me the bios.😅
This worked for me, thanks. I noticed bios does not display on bootup, also tried to enter into bios to enable xmp profile but does not display the bios settings. This problem started after I installed the updated driver for my gpu.
Odd cause software does not load before the bios display. The bios has to function before anything else is run. Maybe the computer added firmware micro code to the drivers. Thanks for your feedback
I've tried every step mentioned in your videos and I'm still unable to resolve. I'v tried plugging in an older GPU, different monitors, HDMI ports, Diplay ports. Nothing is working.
Go to your GPU manufacturers website and download the firmware update for your GPU
If you are still having issues after, if you let me know your specs CPU, GPU and motherboard it'd tell something about what the issue could be... I should have technically made a 3rd video because there are at least 3 other ways to fix the issue... like the CPU rather than GPU could be displaying the bios, a lot of people leave their VR headsets connected not realizing the headset is taking over the bios display. part 1 video has a pile of reasons not listed in this video.
only thing that worked was the nvidia firmware update for my display port i thank you alot and will keep your video in my pc helping list
*Another potential solution*
So, I followed everything in this video, no avail. I followed other people's solution to no avail. And the thing that fixed it for me was.. well.. rediculous.
I have a valve index VR headset that is plugged into my pc VIA Display Port.. IF you have one too, unplug it.. It looked like my pc was prioritizing the VR headset as a monitor and was attempting to display my BIOS and POST screen in that.. I unplugged the headset, restarted my PC and boom.. my BIOS showed up. I understand this is a VERY niche solution. But, it worked for me, and there may be others that have the same issue. :)
Nice... I do mention moving connected devices or slots for connected devices on video part 1... this was only "1" solution for 1 specific problem. The other video is a pile of solution, never thought about a VR headset; that's a unique one.
@@sparketech you're telling me! the funny thing is, it didn't actually physically show anything in the headset! But, it worked for me, so i thought I'd share just in case someone has the same bizarre scenario :) I appreciate your video

I have temporarily installed my old gtx760 in my dextop as I'm waiting for my 1080ti to get repaired. A mosfet on it blew up and its about 3 weeks away from me. I have the same LG display as you. Using DP cable, display is set to DP 1.2 as the GPU only supports 1.2. I have the latest available GPU drivers installed. I'm getting a black screen until after POST, seeing the last second of a spinning loading-wheel from the Asus Mobo before it boots into win10. I can actually get into BIOS as the USB peripherals turn on and I can just spam DEL and after that blindy press F10+Enter to quit the BIOS and boot into windows. It's just not displaying the BIOS. I can however get into BIOS connected to the MOBO DP. I know it shouldn't be this way.
The reason I'm trying to get into the BIOS in the first place is because it's not recognizing my HDD. Win10 is installed on primary M.2 SSD. Not sure what to change in BIOS or where to go from here. I was going to enable CSM to try and get the HDD detected, but I obviously want to be able to access BIOS without having to connect the display to MOBO directly. Any help is appreciated.
@@vergaerd CSM is a good start... And in bios first display to PCI-E or if Asus mobo to PEG
@@sparketech Oh wow thats a quick response. Ah ok I'll have a look thanks!
@@sparketech I have managed to get my HDD to work again, it was probably not seated properly, but I connected it to a different mobo slot anyway. My "GPU BIOS" problem still exists unfortunately. I don't have an option in the BIOS to set the display to PEG. I would try the suggested DP drivers, but I'm sure my GPU supports DP 1.2 only and the GPU is not in the list of supported 7xx cards either. I have a feeling I just might not have the right drivers though...
@@vergaerd drivers don't have anything to do with the bios. The bios loads before any driver is activated. GPU firmware is the only form of software to fix a GPU issue unless it were something else specifically... Every motherboard I have ever seen that has a PCI-E slot has a first display option. PEG is just one of many terms used, mine is PCI-E and there are other names used for the GPU it depends on the motherboard maker... It's a pain when there is no consistency. It you tell me your exact motherboard brand and exact model name I might be able to find your bios option location and name... Once I am not at work that is.
This solved the problem with my gtx 1070. Thank you!
Thank you! this worked!!!
hi Eric i hope you still read the comments.... what do i do if i get a "this update is not applicable to your graphics card in your pc" error?
You go to your manufacturers website of your GPU to get the firmware update would be the next step. There are other options but this is assuming it is a GPU issue together with a UEFI bios
Thanks alote bro. Rare broblem but you are the only one can figure it out
Thank you very much when you said amd was not updated i already knew that's the problem thank you very much
You're Welcome but did you find your issue because I have fixes in my other videos and I have even a new video with an MSI motherboard bios issue blocking the bios on the AM5 boards. If you have AMD like the 500 series there is a fix IF you aren't using Windows 11 otherwise using a TV as a display is an option.
I have a Gigabyte RTX 2070 windforce 2x 8gb that doesn't show my bios at all, loads right into the lock screen after about a minute of booting up. Pc crashes and goes into a reboot as soon as i open a web browser. Weird thing is, it showed my bios once during a random try and never again. After the first web browser crash and reboot it'll crash by itself after a couple seconds on the desktop. Old gpu works completely fine. Is this a known pattern to you, if so, what would you recommend me doing?
If you're not having over heating issues with the CPU or some other thing. Memory issues can cause the same problem. Is your motherboard bios up to date? A failing spinning hard drive can have a similar effect as well but usually not when in the bios screen.
@@sparketech I posted a detailed explanation in your discord. Maybe that paints a clearer picture.

evga 2060, main monitor is on HDMI and TV is on DP using an adapter so that it can use HDMI. BIOS will not show on monitor, but will show on TV. does using a DP to HDMI adapter somehow turn the DP into priority 1 because the GPU thinks it's HDMI? any way to fix it so the monitor is on priority? i have tried putting the monitor on the DP/HDMI adapter, it does show the BIOS, but the monitor is treated as 2nd priority after the OS boots, using FreeBSD, it really screws up the login screen, even when I try to tell the OS that the Monitor on DP/HDMI adapter should be main. The only real viable thing to do is to tell the GPU that HDMI (not the adapter one) SHOULD be priority1.. thus far, I can't do it. I'm thinking of trashing this thing and buying a new one.
This would be a lot easier to grasp in person BUT adapters are a common problem. Displayport and HDMI aren't exactly fully cross compatible. The point is adapters when using modern GPUs with old screens suck. I might know a way around your issue but depending on your version of windows and your motherboard you might be locked in to the bios type you are using. I have other videos with other solutions. This one is strictly firmware related and not compatible with your GPU... I still think it's likely an adapter issue causing you problems.
It work thanks men😊
it says "the gpu firmware could not be updated" i tried restarting my pc multiple times and i still wasn't able to make it work. I'm using an gtx 1070 with a fully updated bios. I think it might be because im using windows 11, Is there any solution?
Please follow the links for my other 2 videos. There are many reasons, it is just finding out which one applies to you. It could be something as simple as your bios initial display being set to onboard graphics, a VR headset connected to name a couple
I bought used RTX 3070, it was working fine for like 3 hours, I did slight undervolt and lowered temperature a bit (max was around 64 celsius) and after I turned off my PC it won't turn on again, just black screen. I can hear sounds from desktop and from games, but the screen is black, I tried 3 different monitors, 3 different cables, 3 different setups, same problem. I connected PCs with team viewer and I can install driver for RTX 3070 from other PC, it recognizes the card and works fine on other PC over team viewer, I can play games, temperature is fine, fans are spinning, but on my screen is just black. I switched it with RX 6700 XT and is working fine now, but still want to know what's happening with RTX 3070, any suggestions? Thanks
More specs could tell me more... If some of the AMD drivers weren't completely gone that can happen. DDU can fix that. Other problem could be if you got an MSI B650 motherboard, it sometimes fights with Nvidia cards and memory. Most likely I think would be simply the old AMD drivers or it temporarily switch to CPU built in graphics.
It tells me this update is not applicable to the graphics card in your pc please help I have nvidia card
Did you find a fix??? I’m having the same damn issue
@@trollord2775 I update my bios which fixed it for a few days and then same thing so I got a new pc
Omg the moment he pointed out that the screen stays black until Windows loads, I literally yelled YES! out loud
Lol, hope that is what fixed the issue. I have the other reasons in another video. This is a display port 1.4 monitor with a UEFI bios with an Nvidia series GPU.
@@sparketech Appreciate this! I'm using an AMD Radeon RX 480 aaaand I'm only installing the driver update software now. All this got started so I could make the new m.2 drive I put in the boot drive, and I've been going bananas trying to display the BIOS. I should have known. Still working on it, but we'll under way now. Thanks again!
@@joshuaholton7547 do not follow this for your fix... look in the description for the other video. This is Nvidia GPUs only. My other video has a pile of different solutions including the Fury X and Nano GPUs and more
@@sparketech alright, I'll check it out
@@joshuaholton7547 That is not a graphics driver. It is a form of firmware that is an update for the display via firmware update.
Only option is a dual PCI-E computer or on board graphics and flash your GPU with the vendors firmware... Asus or what ever exact manufacturer made your graphics card.
Hello Eric! Thanks a lot for this update. Looks like it has helped a lot of people. This thing happened to me and I tried the firmware update. Unfortunately, my card, an RTX 2070, isn't supported. Is there anything else that I can do?
Yes, go to the site of the manufacturer of the card and find the exact model you purchased. And update the firmware :)
@@sparkestudio its a zotac 2070 mini. The website only has the latest driver (which I have installed) and their OC utility, no firmware updates.
@@parmesant I see you're correct... Not a fan of Zotac, stores like Staples in Canada sell that brand. I have less than 6 hours to sleep before having to head back to work... What CPU are you using? If your CPU has built in graphics you can use that to get to the bios and change from UEFI bios to Legacy or something to fix the problem.
@@sparkestudio I have an R5 3600. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an iGPU. And I'd strongly suggest that you don't spend any more time on this (gotta catch them Zzz)
(Zotac gives a 5 year extended warranty which is quite peaceful imo)
@@parmesant Try connecting to a regular TV. AND's next gen CPU all have a very basic GPU in them in the new CPU's coming out in a few months.
Awesome buddy thanks for the tip it worked for me
So, I am having this issue, but my graphics card (660 ti) does not supports that firmware driver…
What to do? I’m days searching for a fix =\
Did you watch the other video? Second does your CPU have built in graphics? If so it might be displaying the bios screen
And secondly your GPU might have a firmware update direct from the manufacturer. If you look up your GPU, the exact one brand and model there could be an update for it.
thanks, worked for me (GTX 1070)!
Hey bro i have the same problem with rtx 3050 but when i do what you do in the video the app says that my gpu isn’t compatible with it. Any fixes?
Yes there are many fixes, this one is not for the 2000 or 3000 series. For newer cards you need to go to the manufacturers website... Asus, MSI or what ever the brand and get the update for your exact card, if you have Zotac I wish you good luck. There are many other reasons some are listed in my other video. If there is no firmware update for your GPU connect to a TV and changed out of UEFI bios... another problem can be if the CPU has intergrated graphics and the CPU is taking over the initial display and VR headsets also take over the bios display.

Thankyou sir! It works!
Real experience! NO easy fix. It cause from degraded DP or bad cable.
some Nvidia card's DP ports requires very good DP cable. Disconnect power is temporary.
And do not use more than 1 DP for multiple monitors at once to 2K+ 144HZ gaming. This will cause random black screen and washed out HDR.
No BIOS screen at booting is sign of bad cable. After you do this method to fix, you will experience another problem in windows such as cannot wakeup from sleep (black screen), freesync flicker/intermittenly black screen etc.
This problem affect with new widescreen 2K+ and 144Hz. This type of signal from VGA damage cable if cable has bad quality.
Do not buy braid cable (no box) from china. All of them are crap. Use PVC cable normal one with VESA / dsp 1.2 support DP1.4 8K.
This is only regarding the bios not showing, rarely to do with the issue you speak of the monitor is more likely going to be running at only 60hz till entering windows however people using 4K displays are far more likely going to get blank screens even in the bios. You wouldn't believe how many RX580s and RX590s are fixed with a bios update. Good tip though for viewers though, DP 1.4 8K included with the MSI MPG321QRF-QD has issues even at 2K when using beyond 165Hz on it's 175Hz OC mode for a second or 2 going blank randomly at times.
I have been wondering how to make an interesting enough video on this topic and to prove any sort of point it may require that I use one of the fault cables I do have laying around.
I've ordered a display port 2.0 cable which is rated for 4K@165Hz to replace the included cable. Issue also happened on my old 1080P ultrawide (2560 x 1080) BenQ XR3501 which I've ordered 2 of one was good and one had drop outs using Display Port 1.2.
@@sparketech I know your point but this symptom is just point to some nVidia cards need very high quality of DP cable to fix. Yes, some not.
Cheap cable cause damage overtime it use. I think some material on connector is the main part that can degrade it.
My latest 1.4 cheap cable can use well only for 2 days then it start to flicker and not show bios screen and 144hz cannot set (Black Screen). Reboot / try to power cycling many times but it will goes back to not show BIOS again after 3-4 reboot after. (I use BENQ EX3415R monitor with RTX 3080)
Then I buy the new one yesterday (1.4 VESA/Box package/Warranty from factory) and go to replace my old cable without power on my PC first. and after replace, my BIOS show as normal and I can set 144HZ + HDR without do anything special.
I search many website about nVidia DP problem and many people face this especially on UWQHD monitors with 144hz.
Cable with no brand or branded but packaging is only in zip lock bag are from china. Those are cheap cables. Many people give it 5* because they not buy it to use with high resolution+high refresh rate GPU and monitor.
@@MenniePlay Let's not forget all the 5 star reviews that are given as paid reviews. And your right a lot of people don't use high resolution high refresh rate monitors... You're comment may give me enough to make a video as long as I didn't throw out my other DP cable. Some may degrade but many cables are just bad from the factory... Degrading cables could be oxidizing internally and either have damage or were not made well in the first place.
@@sparketech Cheers. Not much DP cables content on RUclips and DP std has more problems than DVI or HDMI now.
Cable degrade is real. If you got the GPU with low DP ports quality, this will ruin you cable so fast (If you use high res + 144HZ or more).
@@MenniePlay The latest Nvidia driver is missing G-sync from my options since I left it disabled. My faulty cable worked with it disabled... so I just made a short out of the video with the little time left
ruclips.net/video/RuSPxRe4O3c/видео.html
For me the issue was that my monitor's DP didn't work until Windows loaded, but HDMI worked fine. I have a different monitor where all DP ports work fine though.
The GPU can make the difference as well and apparently the Samsung monitor with display port compression speeds enabled is an issue.
OMG it worked! You da man!
Thanks, happy that it worked.
I changed processor and ram, and now bios wont show up. I press del and it says "prepare to enter setup", and instead of entering bios I get a blank screen and a dash. Otherwise windows will run and enter normally, so there is no problem, the only problem is that bios doesnt show up.
I need specs, motherboard, monitor, CPU... And I guess and how many sticks of memory and are they all from the same package. Same specs and brand means zero if not from the same package it isn't actually matching. Try this one thing one stick of memory in slot A2. Even memory can stop the bios from showing... Especially "unstable" memory
@@sparketech Solved, I traced back the error to when I had another ram and processor, so I changed the ram from 1866 Mhz to a ram of 1600 MHz and now I can access the bios. Not a real problem though, cos I didnt need to enter the bios, but I wanted to solve the problem anyway.
have the same problem but my GPU is RX 580 8GB Nitro . what to do.
tried HDMI/DP and CMOS reset nothing good
I really want to access bios and install OS to my new SSD
Go to my video description and follow my link to part 1... the same video part 1 I have also pinned in comments
When I turn on my pc, my monitor shows black screen ( like it is powered off and no power indicator ) and then it shows the Windows Lockscreen. My monitor is an old LG LED one, VGA display, using VGA to HDMI converter. Have RTX 3060, Tomahawk B550 and R5 5600x. But when I connect it to my smart tv by HDMI cable, it shows the MSI MAG logo and I can enter the bios. But it doesn't show when connecting my monitor. I don't know what is causing this. Can you please tell?
Everyone who has ever written using a converter for display cannot get the bios to show. My honest opinion is you need a new monitor. I believe I mention this in my new video I posted 3 weeks ago which you probably didn't see. Old displays are now modern bios compatible.
What if I don't get no screen at all
I have part 1 and 2 video on that issues as well

Thank You very much ! I thought that I'll have to disconnect my Nvidia GPU each time I'd want to enter BIOS.
You're very welcome. Glad this helped :)
What about the amd user who are suffering from the same issue
@@gamesplay5400 i have 3 other videos. In the description i have links... One video is specifically the MSI B650 motherboards and solutions pinned in comments of that video
Thanks for your effort , however this for some unknown reason still doesnt work with asus rtx 3060ti and evga x570 dark. Update utility telling me that firwmare is up to date.
Thank you for your comment. Pinned comments and video description is the place to look. This is 1 of 3 videos on reasons the 3000 series has its own update and there are other reasons as well beyond firmware.
Even certain motherboards like the B650 from MSI are a problem.

Hello
Recently I bought a New computer without an integrated GPU so there is only an Nvidia quadro with only displayports in it.
In my case when I turn it ON the screen is blank, and there is no Windows on it yet so it stays like that.Do you think it could be the same problem on my case As well
Thanks for your answers in advance.
@@tamasmezei3715 it is possible, there is after all an update which I list in the description of the other videos for quadro cards. it isn't always GPU btw which several reasons are listed in the other 2 videos. MSI B650 motherboards are also an issue after EXPO / XMP memory is enabled.
Also AMD motherboards take a while before they even boot up for the first time for memory training.
@@sparketech Thanks for your answer. My motherboard is a Dell 08HPGT and the GPU is a Quadro M4000. The other problem I could think of is that my monitor only have a DVI and a VGA port so basically I used a Displayport HDMI adapter with a HDMI DVI cable to at least connect it together. Im not sure if it could be a problem but hopefully not.
@@tamasmezei3715 in video part 2 i mentioned adapters can cause issues. It's common especially if you have a UEFI bios enabled... Easy solution to connect to a TV as I mention in my other videos.
It says, The GPU Firmware could not be updated. You know anything about this?
You never told me what your GPU is and did you check if your GPU is even the ones listed as supported. There are 3 videos this one is only firmware the other one is based on connected displays and other items, the 3rd video is other things not everyone understood and something I missed and a 3000 series specific update which does not support 3000 series
Man thank you so much, you saved my 1080ti ! I was going crazy, because I switch to a new B550 mobo, and renewed my thermal paste on the graphics card and I tought i messed it up!
Thounsands thanks to you! You are the real MVP!
Glad I could help.
for me if the monitor is on / awake it boots fine and I can get to bios, but with monitor off i get the issue, so can't wake on Lan etc to access from my other pc etc. It just stops at no VGA card and black screens.
hdmi connection gpu to display
I dont have onboard gpu so no conflicts etc.
my system is not even a year old or rather just over half a year old and the RTX is a few months at most.
Asus Prime b550m wifi
AMD 3600
3600mhz 16gig RAM
RTX 3060
Happened after i updated the bios, before was fine.
But the bios update did change all the bios settings and i dont remember what it was on, due to reading writing issues i leave things as default normally.
CMS is for old hardware I read, I enabled that and system boots as should even with screen off.
But mine is certainly not old so what on earth is happening?, I mean the motherboard came out after the AMD3000 to directly support them and the rtx3060 is not old at all only brought it recently, and the bios is a 2023 version so there should not be this issues.
It looks like the gpu has a higher power drawn with cms enabled might just be me? does cms enabled make a difference?
any insight to why this is would be helpful, is Uefi reading drivers from windows? to boot, ask as i wonder if due to a gtx being prior is it conflicting from there? would seem silly to read windows and guess doesn't make sense as how would you format format a new windows especially if you can get to bios without cms enabled.
any help would be great id like uefi if possible the windows boot says uefi / legacy not other os for what ever that means, does this mean cms is bios and Windows 10 is uefi, also is that why win 11 is not available? Don't want 11 anyway but whats going on?
In my video description I have all the solutions in one video. It's a newer video, I'll try to read you're long message shortly
ruclips.net/video/pzUk1HmkmKE/видео.html
You need the windows install to be done with UEFI enabled or it'll just black screen. I've experienced this previously and had to reset by bios to convert back to CMS. Someone else that commented on my new video also experienced this. You must install windows from start to finish with UEFI or it just won't work. Hope this answers your question.
@@sparketech yer it is installed it works if panel is on but not off, irony is the issues only started after bios update, like they muffed it up and i cant remember the version that it was on where it works. so stuck using the cms option. when from gtx no issues uefi to rtx no issues to bios update and bam issue. will boot fine with uefi if panel is on but not standby will just beep and black screen. you think its gpu if not knowing it was a bios update for it too bugger up.
@@streamtabulous did you get the update firmware for your GPU I have in the video description of video 3 or the newest video also in the description
@@sparketech yer the 3060 has the latest version, id say the motherboard bios update change hidden setting that i cant access and thats why rolling back it still remains a issue. i had a old asus board where once in the menu you hit ctl and a f key and it unlock so many hidden setting i feel that might be whats going on. ill live with cmd less headaches. i hope cmd is never nurfed
