Hi guys! Thanks in advance for reading.

I'm not sure in which section should I post, but here I go:

 

Just built a new modest PC, but tried to reuse my old 2011 GPU (Radeon HD 6850). Due to its age, it doesn't get on well with the MSI B550 mobo and all the UEFI stuff... So I gave up and have just bought an almighty 😞😞 Geforce 1030.

 

Ok, so proceeding to install Win10 via DVD, I previously (as expected) get the message at boot from the system that says "reboot and select proper boot device blablabla", BUT (here's the thing) the underscore blinks different speed with my old Radeon attached and with the new Geforce (with the Geforce the cursor blinks super fast). Everything else in the system is the same, besides a new PSU but I doubt that makes any difference.

 

Does anyone know why on Earth the underscore got accelerated with the new GPU?? I fear that this new GPU might have some sort of issue...

 

Thanks!! ^^

Long shot, but try installing Windows 10 under CSM? (For the HD 6850).

 

Otherwise, do a fresh install under UEFI for the 1030.

is there a problem with the machine other than the rate at which someone decided the underscore blink should be?

Thanks svmlegacy for your suggestion. Getting to install Windows 10 with CSM on the 6850 worked, but had other issues like random black screens and random changes of resolution, which has never happened in the old PC it was mounted in.

 

Point of my post is the weird underscore thing related to the change of GPU card. Don't know if it's a GPU related thing or some side effect maybe in the mobo setup (which I didn't touch).

Haha nope, for the time being, but I have not installed Windows yet so couldn't tell. Obviously the underscore blink rate may be different from one machine to another, but on the same machine with the same config? Yeah I'm talking super fast blinking underscore, like a f***ing laser minigun xDD!

andom black screens and random changes of resolution,

Are you sure your display cable is up to snuff?

I haven't seen your message until now! Thanks so much for answering, curious though that it is the VBIOS, I had my suspicions but couldn't say for sure. Anyways, I guess that this fast blinking is under normal behavior then. Thanks again!

Tried with both HDMI and DVI cables, same result 😉
