Hello!
I hope this is the right place for this issue as I have never asked for tech support online.
I have been searching the internet for the past week trying to find a fix for my problem, but I can't seem to find a single concrete answer anywhere, it's all just theories and I have tried a lot so far.
So I recently upgraded my PC:
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800x3d
GPU: 4080 Super
MOBO: PRO B650-S Wifi
RAM: 32GB DDR5
PSU: RM850x Shift 850w
I also have four monitors (two with HDMI, two with DP)
So everything worked perfectly fine with no issues. I started by having two displays (main and one secondary) connected to the GPU and two other to the IGPU in the MOBO. I downloaded AMD Adrenaline as it was the recommended drivers from AMD and I noticed in the monitoring tab that the ryzen 7 9800x3d IGPU was drawing 50-100 idle watt. It probably was no issue at all, but I googled if I needed the IGPU enabled and all threads pointed to nope, so I plugged all four of my monitors into my GPU and disabled IGPU in the BIOS.
I also have MSI afterburner enabled to start with windows. Just custom fan curve, nothing else.
As soon as I disabled the IGPU and rebooted, I noticed that only one monitor would get a signal for the first 15seconds, then one by one they would get signal after the first 15 seconds. When finally booting up with all four displays connected, my MSI Afterburner isn't detecting the GPU. The quick fix was just to close the program and reopen it and the GPU was detected again. But this leads me to believe that something that the GPU isn't getting a proper signal on boot, or is slow to get a signal at least.
Re-enabling the IGPU and switching back two displays to the MoBo didn't fix the issue somehow, but that's where it all started.
All games were running smooth, all temps are great, no high idle temps and everything normal, but after I got the GPU slow to be detected-problem, one of two things will happen when I launch a game:
1: The game will instantly crash after 5seconds and display error 1000 and 1001 in Event Viewer, not a single game works.
or 2: the game will run perfectly fine, will never crash and can be played for hours without issues, but the same error messages is displayed in Event Viewer regardless.
If the game would instantly crash, I would reinstall Nvidia drivers and I could once again play, but the error was still displayed in event viewer. I had this issue for about a week until I started reinstalling all drivers: chipset, gpu, programs, etc, but nothing worked.
Last night I completely reinstalled windows and wiped everything, plugged all four displays into the GPU and re-downloaded all drivers in the recommended order from AMD and Nvidia's websites. This seems to have fixed the crashing, it doesn't happen anymore at all, but the GPU is still slow to be detected on boot (works perfectly fine as soon as it's detected and booted up tho) and the error message is somehow still displayed in Event Viewer even though I'm not experiencing any issues. (so far at least)
Here are the error messages from Event Viewer:

As I said, these error messages will appear regardless if a game is crashing or not. I was gaming for 5 hours yesterday with zero problems, but the errors are still displayed.
The REDLauncher.exe displayed in the error is Cyberpunk 2077, but the program itself isn't an issue because the error is displayed the exact same no matter what game it is.
Again, I currently have no issue gaming or running programs, my issue is just that the error message is still somehow displayed + windows is slow to detect GPU on start. All temps on gpu and cpu and perfect in idle and under load and I can game for many hours with no issues, so I heavily doubt this is a hardware issue.
Things I have tried:
Reinstall windows
Reinstall drivers
Monitored temps (nothing wrong)
Commands Used:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow
I can also see that my latest BIOS version is outdated by 7months-ish, but my mobo is brand new and my pc worked without any issues before I started tinkering myself, so I don't know if updating BIOS would actually do anything. I'm also a bit scared to do it.
I have personally narrowed it down to a driver issue(I might be wrong of course), but I just have no idea to resolve it as I have retraced my steps back to when I first disabled the IGPU, but it's still not working.
My graphics card is also the default graphics card and boot option in BIOS.
My theory is that I think my pc is trying to boot with IGPU/another display driver regardless of settings, unable to find it, then 15 seconds later my GPU finally kicks in and takes over.
I could be completely wrong, but I think this might be the issue.
Also, when I reinstalled windows yesterday I didn't download AMD Adrenaline to prevent the IGPU drivers from being installed again, I just downloaded the chipset drivers manually. Regardless, the GPU is still slow to boot and now another Display Driver has been added called: Windows Basic Display Adapter.
I have never seen Windows Basic Display Adapter before, but I feel like it kind of confirms my theory since without the IGPU drivers and it being disabled, the GPU is still slow to boot and windows has added a new Display Driver when booting.
And I thiiiink that about covers everything.
I haven't found a single answer online, but I also haven't seen the issue be mentioned with IGPU/GPU drivers so I thought I'd give this website a shot and see if anyone have any ideas!
