Asus 5 way optimization ruined my gpu??

I just bought a new pc (Asus pro gaming mobo, gtx 1070, i7 6700k) and used the 5 way optimization from Al suite thinking it was no big deal. When I used it my pc turned off and on and stayed blank for 20 minutes+. Reading in this forum that more users had this problem and just had to restart their pc to fix, I manually restarted but the pc did not boot up.

By opening and closing the pc again, it did boot until the bios setting, really blurry, (I tried changing everything to default) but never into windows. Trying different things, I decided to remove the gpu and put an hdmi cable from the integrated graphics. The pc worked normally! I even put the graphics card up again (while having a cable from the mobo to the monitor) and my gpu is RECOGNIZED, and the leds are running, but it is not working.

If I have the DVI-D cable from the gpu to the monitor the pc has no signal after bios, and the bios logo is super blurry.

Please, someone help me, I am freaking out!!!

Ok, just wanted to know because of the odd difference between the two. Why don't you use the HDMI from the 1070 and see if that works since that cord and display work from the mobo.

Did you alter GPU settings or CPU settings in 5way?

Did you use the cable during the time that it was working fine, but was it plugged into the 1070?

Is this a VGA monitor you're using?

What kind of cable are you even using? It says HDMI from iGPU, but DVI-D from GPU.

If it's a VGA type monitor, 10 series cards do not support an analog signal, but the motherboard you have might.
If this is the case you need an "active" adapter, regardless of what output it is.

No I didn't alter any setting, just "started" the optimization process. I use an HDMI from the iGPU and DVI-D from GPU. Everything was working fine before this.

I thought that too. Maybe it doesn't, but it created a problem with the pcie slot in someway?

I also just tried my old GPU (a Radeon) and it has the exact same problem like the gtx 1070. So I guess something went wrong with the mobo after the optimization.

i dont see a gpu section in my 5 way optimisation but could be wrong maybe its tucked away and i am not seeing it

did you reset the bios?

If I remember I can come back tonight and post a SS of mine so you can see. 5way shouldn't effect the bios, it's all settings that control "Adaptive" and "Auto" settings on the motherboard. It's only based in windows, and only works if you have either of those selected in the bios. It doesn't directly change bios settings, so it only activates the settings he clicked once it starts.

Because I am stupid. Didn't even think to try it. I did it and it worked!

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

On a side note...
What did actually happen? I assure you, everything was working perfectly two days now, and I was using the card with that cable - something happened with the 5way opt-. Also it was giving signal, (it was connecting until the BIOS, it just turned blank when it was going to boot up) so its not that the cable suddenly stopped working. This is so weird.

Also... what is the difference between the dvi-d and hdmi cable? Is one choice better than the other?

Thank you again!

thanks for that only actually used it once out of curiosity so wasnt sure if it applied settings to the bios or not

i prefer to overclock the old fashioned manual way

Yes I did reset it.

(My problem was fixed by using the hdmi cable, -although the DVI-D still doesn't work-, I am just answering for people with the same problem who may find this post.)

well glad you got sorted any way

and things like that are why i prefer to do it the old fashioned manual way instead of software even if it takes me longer

HDMI has more throughput than a DVI-D.
As far as that port not working? I couldn't say. Could be damaged. You could visually inspect it and see if something looks burned, but it could be somewhere you can't see.
If the HDMI works just fine, I'd just stick with that, it is better quality anyways.

probably not the problem but you can go into the bios to reset to defaults. next uninstall drivers for graphics card, shutdown, remove card plug monitor into onboard graphics, restart. it is possible you got a corrupt driver installation for the monitor or you have something set incorrectly in the the Nvidia control panel such as a resolution the monitor doesn't support
