I recently tried to upgrade my rig from a Titan X to a RTX 2080ti card.
The only change was the card and swapping out a pci e 6 pin cable to a new 8 pin one.
Unfortunately, the computer does not boot past the UEFI splash screen. It hangs for about 20 secs, and then gives a single beep.
At first I thought it was a CMOS issue, but taking out the battery did not do anything to solve the issue.
I actually put my old card back in, and confirmed the CMOS was reset (got prompted to set to default setting etc.) so it wasn't that...
I think I have narrowed down my issue to two possible problems, but I would love to have some extra input just in case it saves me some time.
1) Drivers issue: In my ultimate wisdom, I figured that nowadays I would not need to uninstall my previous drivers since I was going Nvidia -> Nvidia.
The last time I did this step was when I switched from AMD -> Nvidia and the last few upgrades were fine without this step.
I will probably check this later today if I get the chance.
2) Motherboard BIOS compatibility issue: My mobo is fairly outdated compared to the RTX card, but looking up info it seems like it should be supported. I am guessing I need to update my BIOS just to be sure, but that is actually something I have never fiddled with in the past.
I checked my BIOS last night this is the current mobo/UEFI version I am running:
ASROCK H67DE L1.25Z
I will try to troubleshoot the issue on my own as well, but any input would be appreciated!
