Question POST hates gpu but gets to windows anyways?

[lxgoldsmith]

I'm running into a problem I've never seen before and can't find via google. My motherboard is a MSI B550 Mortar.

I installed a bios update and windows 10 using a ryzen 2200G and used the PC for a few weeks while waiting for parts, and I'm now switching to a ryzen 3900x +gtx 1080 ti.

I'm installing the gtx 1080 ti first. My motherboard is beeping at me with a gpu error code if I don't plug a monitor into the integrated graphics. Then it gets to windows and works beautifully, with gpu temps sitting at a constant 28C. I'm even writing this using the 1080 ti.

I tried disabling integrated graphics, and now it just gives a gpu error code regardless. It still gets to windows and works great, but I can't see either the POST or bios screen.

Do I need to RMA?

did you set the gpu as first video device in bios means pci-e first and plug monitor to it after .

I wasn't able to find a configuration option that wasn't basically auto, force-igpu, or disable-igpu.

That's on an older bios, and I have checked those settings to no avail.

page 50 of the manual says how to set a favorite bios configuration...

The gpu seems to work fine the first time after using the cmos jumper, but it's giving me error codes after that.

When you changed the processor did you start with a new install of Windows 10 via the Windows Media Creation Tool? You will need to have at least version 1909. Also, did you make sure that your RAM model is on the MSI QVL (Qualified Vendor List)? It would be helpful if you could give us the error codes that you are experiencing. A common error code for the newer Ryzen processors is the Clock_Watchdog_Timeout error. If you are receiving this particular error, installing the most up-to-date version of Windows 10 will fix it. You will also need to download the chipset drivers directly from AMD and not from the MSI website.

I don't think POST cares about Windows.

The error code is 1 long beep and 2 short beeps

More motherboard related issues are popping up, so I'm gonna go ahead and RMA it.

The error code is 1 long beep and 2 short beeps

1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps typically is a problem with video memory.

I tested the card on another motherboard, and it had no issues.

Another working video card generated the same problem on the mobo in question, and now it's got electrical noise coming from the 3.5mm ports.

That mobo aint right.

then go on with rma processs.

Yikes! RMA it for sure!
