did you get into the bios before the CMOS reset? That Mobo has indicator led's right above the 24pin power connector for RAM CPU VGA and BOOT. Do any of them light up? Those are for errorcodes

you can pass it through like any other gpu. But you will need a pcie gpu for your host in that case. you cannot share an iGPU

Bios might have a thermal limit set. For the CPU.

Could be a psu issue, could also be temps. Are the temps in you screenshot with a load on it? or at idle?

Does the RGB starts after you press the powerbutton or is it on as soon as you connect power?

Nope, it's a physical crack in your LCD. you can't fix that, only replace that

I am running a 4U rackmount case so I was planning a Noctua NH-D12L (low profile) which will fit and outperform a wraith cooler I assume? However a Wraith Prism would also be low profile and fit 4U. So that is an interesting thing to consider, since the Noctua cooler is around 100euro's that would mean a difference in total cost going with the nonX over the X

That's what I thought, So if I were to lower the TDP of the 7900X I'd get the same power and termal advantages as the 7900 Not just for gaming btw, bit of gaming, also video editing, bit of 3D and planning to run VM's under linux. That's why I am going for a 79xx over a 76xx

I am planning a new build and I was gonna go for a AMD 7900x CPU. but than the non-X series launched and having watched the LTT review they looked great! I am in Europe (the Netherlands) so power consumption matters right now, and I like how they run less hot. And what matters most: the price. MSRP of more than 100 dollars less. HOWEVER Here in the Netherlands, they are priced almost the same, like literally 7 euros difference for the X vs the non X. In some place the non-x is even MORE expensive. So now it just comes down to performance and power consumption. If they are the same price I assume I am better off with a 7900x right? And if I want the better efficiency I could just underclock it? and turn it into a 7900? Is there any reason to go for the non-X when they cost the same?

My computer is due for an upgrade anyway, its a 290x and fx8320 so almost 10 years old at this point. (and my energy bill will be happier with modern hardware) So I'm not going to put in to much efford since I'll be building a new system in the coming months anyway. I was just curious what I could be since everything seems to point to a hardware issue but ONLY with windows. It's been acting like this for at least 3 years so I can live with it. once it boots it still preforms fine. So I might keep this 290x just as a linux card

Windows 10 22H2 at the moment. But it has been happening for at least 2 years on all the versions of 10 in between. And I have already tried a different drive, with a fresh windows install, no internet and no gpu driver (just basic windows drivers) and it still happens.

That sounds reasonable. But why would it still happen even without any driver installed on windows. And not happen anywhere else without de driver.

I've had this weird issue for a few years and I can't figure out what's happening: I am running a 290x with 4 screens attached. Whenever I boot my computer, seconds after getting to the dekstop, the screens fill with artifacts (lines/repeating block patters) for a second before a flash and they all go black. Windows has stopped running in the background at this point. any audio that was playing will hang and nothing will work but it wont reboot itself, I have to hard reset it. This whole process will happen for about 3 to 5 times before my pc stays on. And when it's on it's completely stable. Sounds like a dead GPU right? But here it gets interesting: - it never happens in the BIOS - it never happens in linux - it never happens during a windows install So? Driver issue? nope! DDU'ed the driver, reinstalled a different driver, reinstalled windows on a new drive without any driver. It all still happens. So what happens in the first few minutes of getting to the windows desktop, that can cause the GPU to totally crash but only happens in windows that is not driver related? Any ideas?

Nothing inside a psu should arc in normal opertation. RMA that one

Two the same GPU's is tricky but can be done. Wendel goes over it in this post: https://forum.level1techs.com/t/vfio-in-2019-pop-os-how-to-general-guide-though-draft Might be a bit different on your OS. But I did this in mint and it worked perfectly. There were just a few kernel moduals that wendel needed to load seperatly but for me they were already buitld into a newer kernel. However I ended up using different GPU's anyway in the end because that was just a lot easier
