Hello,
I have recently just built a rig (and am currently typing this on said rig )
Important specs here are the following:
Asus z97 Sabertooth Mark 1 Motherboard
Msi 780 gtx twin frozr 6GB edition
When I finished building my rig I had a lot of difficulty actually booting, naturally I thought I had done goofed somewhere and began trouble shooting. This turned out not to really be the case. When I removed my graphics card and switched to integrated graphics the computer booted just fine and I got into the UEFI BIOS utility.
Now having done some googling I found that a new feature called secure boot, it likely not recognizing my card and therefore not allowing the computer to boot. I even found the secure boot option in the UEFI BIOS utility. My only problem is that I cant seem to disable it. The option is greyed out.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to disable this thing, or what else could stop my graphics card from working?
It was properly connected to the PCIe slot and all power pins (6 and 8) were properly connected, power supply is evidently working fine since I am typing this now. Both fans were spinning on the graphics card and there were no beebs or warning LEDs from the motherboard. This is what leads me to believe that this "secure boot" is to blame.
The problem is just that there simply is no video output when the card is being used OR when the card is in the computer. (so if the card is in there, then I cant even use integrated graphics. The second the card is physically removed integrated graphics are working just fine and everything else is just dandy)
