Recently I turned on my computer and was presenred with an issue that involved my computer freezing at the motherboard splash screen failing to post. I was eventually able to boot by forcing my mobo to use the integrated graphics instead of my gtx 1070. In the device manager, under the properties for my gpu, it states the code 12 error: "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use."

No hardware nor software changes were made prior to this issue, i just put the computer to sleep one night.

I have flashed the cmos settings (removing mobo battery), replaced mobo battery, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. I cannot view the resources in use by the card due to the tab only displaying the same full error code.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as ive spent the past week trying to fix this issur with no progress.

Comp specs:
Intel I5-3470 3.2 ghz
Gigabyte ga-z77x-d3h mobo
Evga 1070 gtx
Xfx pro 850W psu
16 gb ddr3 ram
Windows 7 64 bit
WD 500gb HD
 
Solution
Try one RAM stick at a time, try different RAM, try a different PCIe slot. Test the card in another system. Maybe try a clean Windows setup.
