BIOS not visible through GPU even with integrated graphics disabled.
Cavi replied to Cavi's topic in Troubleshooting
It's almost embarassing to admit that this was the solution because I even mentioned this update myself, I was just too lazy to reboot to windows to do this update. And the fact I still didn't get the output through DVI or HDMI made me think the problem was something else. But the update worked after all. Thank you so much. -
Hi! A few days ago I finally got myself some new hardware. I went with a Gigabyte B650 Eagle motherboard and a Ryzen 9 7900. I still use my almost 10 year old GTX 1070 GPU, I want to replace it further down the line and CPU was my priority due to my work. The issue is that I cannot see anything up to the point my OS boots up on my monitors connected to the GPU. I could only get an output through the iGPU, even though in the settings I chose my GPU to be the primary display. I even tried disabling the whole iGPU, and it resulted in no output so I had to clear my CMOS. I updated my BIOS to the newest version. I have 2 iiyama displays connected through DisplayPort. And to be clear, my previous MOBO+CPU combo worked through the GPU no problem, in case it's any significant information, I had a Z170 MSI GAMING PRO CARBON mobo with an i7 6700K. A few answers I found on the internet said something about GTX 1070 firmware update relating to DisplayPort. I will say that I haven't done the firmware update yet, but even without it I should get an output through HDMI or DVI. I tried both of those with no success. I tried reseating my GPU multiple times, just in case. The GPU works normally after the system boots up. The BIOS isn't my main concern as I don't go there too often, but the issue extends to the bootloader I use. I dual boot a Linux distribution with Windows for one very specific stupid thing that I still need to do on Windows. And no video output at this stage makes it quite annoying to choose my OS, I have to go in blind, literally. I would appreciate any help as I couldn't find this specific issue on the internet, maybe my googling skills are bad, but usually people reporting such an issue either had the iGPU as primary display or had a broken/incorrectly installed GPU.

Thanks! Such a simple thing, I didn't really think of it... I'm new to Linux, I need to still get to know it My SFML folder is messed up and it still doesn't work, but I bet that's because of all the weird things I did to try and get it to work. I'll try a clean cmake build and I'll let you know if this works.

So, yesterday I made this thread on the Linux subforum: I didn't get any replies, so I figured out this might be a better place. Long story short, I found an old laptop, installed 32 bit Lubuntu on it and the only way I can get SFML is to compile it myself. However, when I run cmake, get the makefiles and proceed to use the "make install" function, or when I try to compile it in Code::Blocks, I get an error: CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:36 (file): file INSTALL cannot set permissions on "/usr/local/./include" Makefile:73: polecenia dla obiektu 'install' nie powiodły się make: *** [install] Błąd 1 I'm sorry, it's partially in polish because I copied it directly, but basically it says that executing commands for the object "install" was unable to succeed. If I try to link what I already got in the folder to my Code::Blocks project, I get the "cannot find -lsfml-graphics-d (and etc)" error. It was so easy to do on Windows, but it's such a pain for me on Linux. Any help? Anybody has experience in this? It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! So recentely I was going through some old boxes and found my old laptop. To my surprise, it was still working but the OS was broken to the point I couldn't even connect to the internet. I installed Windows 10 just to see what happens, it was too much for it, as it has 1GB of RAM and has an intel T2130 CPU, 2 cores @ 1.86 GHz. I decided to go for Linux, as I've heard there are distros designed to be lightweight to run smoothly on old PC's. I chose Lubuntu, downloaded it and installed. The problem is, I have never used Linux. I thought installing my standard software would be easy, but installing additional libraries to Code::Blocks... Oh man. On my main rig with Windows, installing SMFL library was simple, I had to download it and link it in Code::Blocks. But I struggle with it on Linux. It would be easier if I had a 64-bit version, because there is an already working SFML pack for that, but because of my CPU I can only use 32 bit OS, and the only way to get SMFL for 32 bit Linux is to build it yourself with Cmake, which I tried to do but my code still won't compile after linking my project to freshly built SFML. I would really appreciate some help with that, it's my first adventure with Linux and I'm not entirely sure what to do.

I also think that it might be a problem related to MOBO/CPU. And for the standoff - I don't think that's the case, I don't remember any standoffs that would not fit with my mobo. I'll see the manual to find out though, but it's unlikely.

Sorry for lack of updates past few days. Like I said before, I'm really busy at times, and I don't even get to go into my room and see my PC some days. Anyway, I tried using different slots for RAM. I had time to try and put the RAM (one stick) into a slot that wasn't used at the moment my PC broke. Slot 3. I put the stick in, pop my Windows USB... And nothing. Another MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error before windows even installed. Tomorrow I will be able to take my PC to some sort of a specialist in the nearest town so he can test it more than I do. I'm really angry at myself that I don't have enough time to solve my big problem. They should be able to locate the problem and I will be then able to return that certain part using warranty and get it replaced. Thanks for every advice so far, I'm really thankful. If someone wants to add anything, I'll be glad to read your advices.
-
I will test them and report tomorrow (almost 1AM for me right now). The good thing in the sea of all the problem is the fact that I still have warranty for everything. RAM was actually replaced with the help of warranty. I remember doing it before I had my RAM replaced. I had like a few hundred thousand errors and it froze on test 7 (I stated that in the original thread I linked, I believe). Haven't tried running it with the new memory for some reason. I was scared and shocked and didn't think of the most important things. I will try to run it and see.

Report #1 Normally I have a standard slot2/slot4 setup with my RAM. I took slot4 out leaving only slot2 and tried to reinstall windows again. This time it didn't even complete the instalation, it crashed during the process with a "PAGE FOUND IN NON PAGED AREA" BSOD (from my memory, messeage may look a little different actually). It never happened a few times I've tried reinstalling after getting new RAM. Should I be concerned about my board/slots? Needs more testing in different slots that I'll do, but just wanted to share that first report.
-
I have not tried this. Thanks for the idea. I will try to do what you recommended me to do yesterday with the RAM and also with running the PC with minimum components now and I will report back later. @Mooshi Thank you!
-
I believe I've tried that before replacing my RAM, but not with the new sticks. Thanks, I'll give it a try! I was so in shock when it didn't work with the new RAM that I didn't think of the simplest solutions, sorry for my stupidity. Slot 1 is covered up by my be quiet! cooler, but 2/3/4 are OK so I'll check that.

Hello. Sorry for multiposting again... but I wanted to report on something that might be a clue or something for a person more experienced than me that could help me. I had some limited time at home when I could try to do some stuff. I decided to stick my Windows 10 USB into the PC again and try to install it once more. I wiped the SSD, and installed Windows. No problems during the install (before replacing ram it would freeze etc even at install stage). But when I got to the first bootup to configure windows, my heart was beating like crazy. It went for a little longer than usual. Before it would BSOD me as fast as the spinning loading wheel appeared, but now it actually went for a few seconds longer, I even saw some percentage of first configuration before I've experienced a BSOD, but this time it was unlike any other I've seen before replacing my RAM. SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (I think, I'm writing it from memory). was the messeage on the BSOD, I've never seen it before replacing my RAM, at least I do not recall it appearing. I will try to google it's meaning, but I've found microsoft sites to describe these errors in a pretty cryptic way (English is not my first language), so your help would be appreciated as well. I want to thank everyone who contributed so far, @Mooshi made me check my drives and I'm thankful. I thought it was unlikely, but maybe that's it. The problem is not fully solved though, and I do not know what to do next, so I would be very happy if someone could look into it. I can provide any info you need.
-
I'll try to mess with the drive soon, maybe it's the cause, but I'm not sure about that. Even if that error popped up on my BSOD's, it was 1%, because 99% of these BSOD's were MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. also, refreshing thread.
-
Actually, there might've been an error like that, but I'm not entirely sure. However I'll try to see if it will run on another drive when I have time (It's 00:40 PM for me right now so I'll be going to sleep soon). Did that error come up on bootup for you? Because in my case when Windows tries to boot up I imediatelly see a BSOD, but in BIOS it's stable.
-
Sorry but could you expand a little on that? I'm not really knowledgeable when it comes to errors and BSOD's.
