Mobius71 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 So I recently got my hands on a 2070 super graphics card and thought to myself it's time to spin up a gaming VM. I prep the VM and get to the part where I shut down the server to install the graphics card so I can boot up and pass it through. I try to boot and I get a beep code, but it's stuck at the Gigabyte splash screen and I cannot press F2 to enter bios nor can I press F10 for the boot menu. I tried different pcie slots and still no dice. I tried a different card in the same pcie slot with power removed from the 2070 super and unraid boots. If the graphics card has power supplied to it at all, it hangs at the Gigabyte splash screen. I have a 650w power supply. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7PESH3. Could this be a power supply issue? Ii don't really have another system to test on as my desktop is an hp mini. Also not sure if there is a conflict with the mobo and the card at all. This is basically the same socket as the 1150 chipset. Last I checked that shouldn't be an issue with using this graphics card. I'm kinda stuck at this point. Please help. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 If you haven't yet looks for a board BIOS update, if that doesn't help not much you can do other than using a different model GPU (or board), or contact Gigabyte support. Quote Link to comment
Mobius71 Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Thanks for the reply. I've pretty much done everything but that at this point. I've also verified the GPU was good by testing it in my neighbor's gaming rig. Fingers crossed the bios update does the trick. Quote Link to comment
Mobius71 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 No luck with bios update. Looks like I'll be upgrading my rig soon, unless someone has any other ideas. Quote Link to comment
