    Xiphan got a reaction from WiscoMetro in Buying a New Car is Stupid   
    My first car was also a black Honda Civic, albeit a UK model 2008 hatch:
     

     
    I absolutely loved it and I can totally understand Plouffe's reluctance to get rid of his. For a first car it was a dream car, it was reliable and gave me very few problems except for the fact that its radio only supported MP3 CDs and didn't have Bluetooth. I also had plans to upgrade the radio to a double DIN radio once I finished paying it off, but I sadly never got the chance as the car was written off in an accident in 2015. 😭 I still miss that car to this day, so I just wanna say thank you so much for the nostalgia trip and for giving me a glimpse into what could've been. 🥺

    The CSM issue Linus mentions at 5:00 sounds like the Nvidia DisplayPort firmware issue. Since the GPU is an RTX 3060 it would require this firmware update: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5233/~/nvidia-gpu-firmware-update-tool-for-displayid to resolve the issue so you can use DisplayPort without needing to use CSM.
     
    I encountered this issue about a year ago when I bought a new monitor and could no longer access my BIOS while using DisplayPort unless I enabled CSM or used a different connection. I even made a PSA about it over on the Nvidia subreddit.
     
    The tl;dr is if you have a Titan (Maxwell or Pascal), 10 Series or older GPU then you need to apply this firmware update: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nv-uefi-update-x64/
     
    For RTX 30 Series you need this update: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5233/
     
    And lastly for the RTX 4080 or 4090 you need this update: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5411/
     
    I hope this helps. 😉

    For anyone else who finds this thread like I did trying to solve this problem...
     
    I just upgraded to an Asus Z490-F and had this issue with my board, GPU would not work in BIOS/UEFI at all, VGA light solid always but would boot to OS without issue and GPU worked fine.
     
    I FINALLY found an "NVIDIA GRAPHICS FIRMWARE UPDATE TOOL FOR DISPLAYPORT 1.3 AND 1.4 DISPLAYS" (NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool for DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 Displays) that resolved this issue. I guess if you have any displays using DisplayPort on Nvidia cards 7xx-1000 and/or Quadro cards based on Maxwell/Pascal its possible to have this issue and the tool updates your cards firmware. This was happening on my EVGA 1080ti FTW3 Hybrid which never had this issue with my previous motherboard.
     
    Hopefully helpful to someone, cheers!
