[SOLVED] GPU keeps getting forgotten after each reboot

[Santern]

Hi all, wonder if anyone can assist?



Ever since Ive done a clean installation of my GPU driver and Windows 10 the latter keeps rediscovering the GPU after each reboot or when I turn the machine on for the day. This affects the GPU tweak tool as well as it loads with an error on startup asking for the VGA driver to be installed. After a few seconds the GPU is recognizerd and everything is back to normal.



What I notice is that while Windows is booting up the device disconnect - reconnect sounds are playing in the background as if the OS only just recognized the GPU.



The GeForce drivers were uninstalled before using safe mode and the display driver uninstaller tool, no changes. The integrated graphics card is disabled and turned off in BIOS and the machine only prioritizes the GPU. Naturally all the drivers are up to date.



Connectionswithin the tower are also fine, I've redone and sorted the cabling to make sure there is no damage or any knots / bends. The GPU also doesnt overheat and everything else in the system is relatively new (The motherboard being only 2 months old) and have no issues whatsoever.

One thing I might add is the device events, where it shows how Windows does a reinstall each time I boot up. The screenshot shows today's info but it repeats each time I booted up since Windows was reinstalled in September.

I dont think it will fix your issue but there is a newer bios for your motherboard available 2603.

Well you should never disable on-board graphics in BIOS. Better leave it on auto!
Tried DDU to uninstall graphics driver and clean re-install it?
How many pci-e slots your mobo supports? If at least 2 then try switching slots!
You can try to reinstall windows, maybe even to Win7 and check if problem is fixed.
If not then it might be Mobo's fault or RTX gpu fault because they almost all are buggy.
Also that could be Win10 October buggy-update fault.
You can send it to warranty if nothing else helps.
