ASRock G41M-VS3 GPU problem

[miki130504]

Hello guys, i’m new to the forum and i hope to be posting in the right place. 

 

Yesterday my uncle brought me a old pc with a pentium d 945 (overclocked now to 4GHz), 4gb ddr3 ram, 450w trash psu and a gt 315. i had a p106-90 around and i inserted it in the pc but with that card i get completely no post. i already set the primary gpu as the integrated but i can’t get it to work. Voltage i good as i read 11.98v in the back of the 6-pin connector. maybe the mobo is too outdated or am i missing something? i’ve seen a mobo with the same chipset working with a rx580 so it’s strange that mine isn’t working. Pci bus clock is set at 100mhz.

 

PS: gpu works fine in another system.

 

Thanks

Have you tried going back on the over clock? Might not be stable. Also is the pc turning on but not displaying or just not turning on?

yes, tired with the defaults. the pc turns on and after 5 seconds it turns off. then again on and it stays on with no picture/post.

 

Later i will try with my 580 just to see if the fact that the p106 has no display outs bugs the mobo.

Sounds like a stabliity issue. Ye I would tr y a different cpu if you can’t go back on the oc

Think its just the mobo being pissy about the gpu

 

i mean asrock z68/77 hate my 9500gt and will throw a d6 code (boots headless fine), even crossflashing my p8z68 deluxe to a z68 fatal1ty causes d6 no post even through the stock bios works fine with the gpu

 

As for a potential fix you can try flashing the bios to a p5g41t-m with a ch341a bios programmer by just taking out the bios chip and inserting into the programmer, it helps to have a pci debug card (usually marketed as pc analyzer) to check if the things actually booting or not. This is a fully risk free fix since if the bios doesnt work you simply reflash the stock bios

 

i dont really see what youd actually use that thing for considering the age of the hardware and g41 being far inferior to their g31 predecessors in fsb oc nullifying the benifit of an e8000 cpu when you can clock an e7000 higher

i setted the mobo default so stock clocks.

no luck with this bios: pc does not post. Is there another one i could try?

Maybe the p5g41t-m lx3 bios

 

Btw how did you flash the bios anyways and what program did you use? I personally use asprogrammer

 

ngl id be pretty surprised if you actually managed to properly flash the bios but maybe im just used to tech illiterate dudes just getting completely confused

the classic chinese bas translated ch341a programmer. Flashed and verified correctly.

i’ve modded the programmer with the 3.3 volt mod and flashed it with the software. it verified and i flashed it again to make sure. i firstly erased the chip and then reprogrammed it

Welp thats enough to prove that you are actually flashing the bios properly

 

As for other bioses you may wanna try, give the biostar t41-a7 a go, i flashed that bios on a foxconn g41mx and it does 360fsb instead of 350 ish on the stock bios, even sold it that way with a 3.6ghz e8600

p5g41t-m lx3

works but i can't get to start windows (can't load from hdd) and 4 times out of 5 it doesn't post, so i'm pretty sure i'm flashing correctly. the other one is probably not working at all

t41-a7

i'll try now, thanks

 

Edit: 

starts (sometimes) but can't get over the bios splash screen. The cpu showed at 8000°c and 84ghz lol

 

i think i'm gonna try a couple of g41 bioses. I'll let you know. If you have any other suggestion i'll try them too. 

Many thanks for now

[miki130504]

No luck so far. Tried like 10 bios and only couple of those supported the gpu but couldn't boot to windows. Back with the stock one
