1060 Problems

[AJTerminator]

Hello

 

I have a H430 with a new 1060 and cx650.

 

Yesterday, I received my new 1060 Graphics card and cx650 PSU. There seems to be some problem, as it does not even get past the POST most of the time. It takes about 5-10 minutes, even just to get past the "Lenovo" logo, to get to the BIOS, but it will not show the OS, no matter what. The fans spin as it should, but it simply cannot get past anything. I have tried to uninstall all drivers, but nothing still, when i use my old graphics card, it works, just as long as the 1060 is not plugged in. I fear updating the BIOS, but it could be the source of the problem, as it can brick the Motherboard.

The ONLY way to brick a system is power failure or try installing wrong / corrupted BIOS.  The rest is just wild stories of rubbish from people who should not try to update BIOS ever and cant accept there lack knowledge as root of the failure.

 

You should not need BIOS upgrade to place in a video card. Your logic of thinking this is wrong unless there is BIOS specifically to address this exact video card (which is rare but possible).

Your system H430 is most likely trying to boot both graphics cards. The integrated one and new one you added.  You need to deal with this but I don't know or want to know the specifics of your bios.  The BIOS is Proprietary and may have white list stopping you or may have the very option needed to make it work, locked out from you ability to change.

 

If you can I would turn off in the BIOS the integrated graphics and see if you can boot.  If you need to remove power cord and bios battery to reset to factory if this fails and get no graphics.

 

Sorry cant be of any more help but Proprietary boards are $^%$$#.

I know, but on the lenovo website, there is no bios update and if i do turn off the Integrated Graphics, then couldnt it just brick it?

Also, the BIOS i have is very bad and liike isnt very good at all

Also, yes, i have plugged it in and it is 650W so that is definitely no problem
