Greetings.
Today when I turn on the computer has marked the bios is damaged / corrupt. As the board is a Gigabyte H97-D3H with dual bios I have been able to restore it by bypassing some pins of the chip during boot and that stuff (not so funny...).
The thing is that I have had this PC for about 6-7 years:
i7-4770,
16GB DDR3,
Gigabyte H97-D3H (PCIe 3.0),
2GB amd graphics,
256GB solid SSD,
Corsair Cx600 600W PSU
and I have never had similar problems.
Last week I installed a RTX 3060ti, maybe a so newest graphic card for the current configuration, maybe the micro can cause some bottleneck and I am aware that the motherboard is not PCIe 4.0 but the installation was ok and I was playing a couple of days with total normality. The possible drop in FPS is not very pronounced in contrast with examples seen on youtube for that graphic with superior hardware.
The thing is that I find it very strange that the bios gives this problem coinciding with the new graphic and I wonder if that could be the reason.
I've looked at power calculators in case I need a 850w or so, but each calculator gives a result: 500-550-600-700w...
What do you think? Could it be lack of power? Another incompatibility?
Thanks in advance
