Question Getting intermittent b1 code on Asus motherboard after installing used GPU

[sizzlinkola]

Had a friend gift me their Nvidia RTX 3060Ti 8GB. About 25% of the time when I power on the computer from shutdown, the mobo reads "b1" and get stuck on the Asus logo for 1-2 minutes. Then, it gets to the login screen and works fine.

Most of the time it boots quickly in less than a minute with no issues since I have a SSD, just like I did with my old Nvidia GPU. But I'm concerned that I'm getting this b1 code 25% of the time.

Any ideas?

Specs

• Asus Z97 Deluxe mobo
• Nvidia RTX 3060Ti 8 GB
• i7-4770 CPU
• 32GB RAM (2 x 16 gb sticks)

and what have you found related to this "b1" code?

if the card wasn't functioning then you'd have no display whatsoever.

i'd guess it's more related to the very outdated system containing this card.

include the complete system specs with the make & model of ALL components.
not just this brief description you've offered.

Sure here's full specs.

Asus Z97-Deluxe MOBO PCI-Express 3.0 (8.0 GT/s)
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060Ti 8GB
Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB
Intel i7-4470 CPU @ 3.40 GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processors
Kingston DDR3 8GB RAM 933 MHz x 4 (32 GB total RAM)
Thermaltake Smart M 750W PSU

I was incorrect about how many RAM sticks I have.

You don't mention the PSU. My RTX 3060 (non Ti) pulls up to 170W. Can your PSU cope with the extra load?

I did in my reply above. It's Thermaltake Smart M 750W PSU. Unless you're looking for something more specific about my PSU?

It seems like it can cope? According to GPU-Z, it's at 19-20% power consumption while web browsing and such. While gaming, it's at 30%.
