ASUS Z97 AR Not Detecting EVGA GTX 670

[John Navia]

So out of the blue my Motherboard has decided my GPU no longer exists.
Was working fine yesterday, and now today it doesn't even appear in the BIOS or in devices when I run safemode. The mobo's video output is working fine.

So far I've tried: Reset CMOS
Move the card from one PCI-E slot to the next
Set the PCI-E as the main source of video in the BIOS
Reset BIOS to default settings

Nothing has worked thus far.

Have you considered the possibility the 670 has simply 'Ceased to Be?'

If possible I would like to try all options before considering that fact.
Besides the card is barely a year old

Bios on the board may need an update.

The 670 was given 'End Of Life' staus by Nvidia 2 years ago.

I live in a small island called Puerto Rico, where computer parts don't sell very much.
I unpacked card brand new exactly 15 months ago.
If you're not here to help me and question everything I say then I kindly ask you to leave.

Thanks, will give it a go

Updated the BIOS from version 1008 to 2205, no dice, still isn't recognizing the card.
What irks me is the system was working fine yesterday

Sorry. Its best to get to the bottom of things; There are many people who come on looking for answers who may be mistaken about things and believe it or not Nobody here actually gets paid. You have gone from barely a year old to unpacked it 15 months ago for example; but I will take that as read it was not installed in anything at that point. It is unlikely to have failed but anything is possible.

I get what you mean, and I accept it's a possibility, but money is short and I would like to leave the faulty GPU option til the very end. Updated the BIOS to no avail, not sure what else to do at this point, maybe mess around with the BIOS settings?

 

[John Navia]

I'm Faffing impressed you updated a bios in pretty short flipping order to be honest.

It's pretty easy with today's BIOS to be honest. Back in my day BIOS didn't have so many options let alone a freaking mouse pointer!

Generally we ask for full system specs just to make sure a 'noob' esq mistake hasnt been made; psu particularly. I would assume you have tried the leads on the other side of the 12 volt rail (or rails),tried the card in a second pci-E slot if there is one, etc?
We do not know what moboard you have.

Yes you do, it's in the title, the board is an ASUS Z97 AR.
Funny enough I don't think I did try the other side of the 12 volt trail, will try now.
The reason I didn't was the GPU fans were turning on just fine, but I'm running out of options now.
