Hi, At the beginning everything was working fine, some time ago I’ve noticed that my PC have problems with start-up, it’s not an issue related with power supply (I have three now…), RAM, processor, cooling nor motherboard, because from time to time it’s working (I have no idea why), and the interesting thing is that I have other GTX - a 560 model, which works completely fine. I sent back GTX 970 to the seller and they said it’s working on their computer, so where is the problem? I’ve been thinking that maybe the BIOS is outdated, but I can’t check it if my PC won’t pass through BIOS to Windows (no “beep”, monitor is black - actually it’s not turning on with GTX 970 connected) everything else is working (fans - even 970’s fans are rotating!) fine I guess. And also I’ve been disconnecting everything and start from the scratch - even trying to connect all items to my new motherboard (ASROCK) - nothing has changed. Please HELP! P.S.: Sorry for my bad english, I’m frustraited!
Hi everyone, it appears that the problem was exactly with the GTX 970, now I have to return it to the seller and wait for verification. I hope they will give me my money back so I can buy other graphic card, maybe this time 980 (I heard that 970 have problem with its RAM, and the problem might be related with this). Thankis for help! :)
Did you already try resetting the CMOS? You could always upgrade your BIOS to a new version, just to be certain that everything is up-to-date anyway. For that just drop in the 560, since you could always drop in the 970 after the bios upgrade and see what it does.
Hallo Ich hatte vor einiger Zeit einen ähnlichen Fehler mit einem Packard Bell . Im Endeffekt stellte sich die Festplatte heraus die zeitweise gut lief , mehrere intensive Test mit mehreren Programmen absolvierte und doch immer mal wieder einfach aussetzte. Der Fehler machte sich bemerkbar indem er Startprobleme hatte , wie in einer Endlosschleife lief usw. Dann war alles wieder minutenlang i.o also flottes Arbeiten möglich und dann begann der Spass von vorn. Hast du versucht mal eine andere Festplatte an den Rechner zu hängen. Hab dann meine Daten gesichert und die Windows Partition auf eine neue Platte geclont und weg war der Fehler. Vermutlich war es die Ansteuerlektronik der Festplatte.Jedenfalls war mein Fehler dann behoben.
check your power supply… maybe it is not supplying enough power to the boar of VGA you have to test it on other machine by urself and see if it is working as claimed by those whom you bought if from… they might be deceiving you.
Hi Hubert, I’ve read your post and the many other posts below, it seems your using alot of different hardware, would you mind listing all the hardware you have. I’m particularly interested in the Motherboard and monitor, and the cables you are connecting them with.
hi guys, i have the same problem!!! my computer is Asus Maximus Hero Ix, i7 7700k, 8gb Corsair 4000mhz, 2x ssd Vertex 4 128gb, Corsair HX850i, 2x Nvidia GTX970 SC. before update my bios 0906 to 1006, my PC has working fine, everything oks, i’ve been used SLI normal, but the problem is apper after update my motherboard BIOS, my pc stopped working on error B2 code, i search what is error B2, is Legacy Option ROM Inicilization, i try to do a lof things, like, turn off all devices USB, change PSU, SETUP settings etc etc etc. I disconnected a video card, and the problem continued, I tried the other video card and the problem did not appear any more, I already find that it has a problem with GTX970, so I tried to connect the PC only with it, without the SLI. I tried turning on the computer to find out what the problem of the video card, the computer forever in error B2 or which it passes skin error B2 and starts Windows, it seems that all the drivers have not been installed. guys please, what can i try Thanks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLrNDZW5…
