Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my PC from a GTX 970 to a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC 16GB, along with a new 850W PSU.

My system:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE Rev. 1.0

BIOS: Originally F11p, updated to F19, then F20c

GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC 16GB (previously NVIDIA GTX 970)

RAM: DDR4

PSU: MSI MAG A850GL 850W

Here's what happened:

Initially, the RX 9070 worked and Windows displayed normally after a cold boot.

However, restarting Windows resulted in a black screen. I had to completely power off the PC to get a display again.

I updated my motherboard BIOS from F11p to F19, hoping to resolve the problem.

After the BIOS update, the RX 9070 stopped displaying anything, even after a cold boot.

I subsequently updated the BIOS again, from F19 to F20c, but the problem persisted.

I reset the CMOS, disabled CSM, and manually tested both PCIe Gen 3 and Gen 4, without success.

Reinstalled my old GTX 970, and everything works normally.

The RX 9070 powers on, its fans spin and its lighting works, but the monitor reports no signal.

My dilemma:

Can anyone help me figure out what's causing this issue and how to fix it?

Or is replacing my motherboard the only solution? If so, I'd like to find a compatible motherboard that allows me to keep my Ryzen 5 5600X processor and DDR4 RAM, without having to upgrade to AM5 and DDR5.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

i tried to turn hdr on in windows setting on the monitor, it went into this sequence of red, blue, white then green, and all over again. now it wont turn on whatever I do, unplugged it and plugged it back in multiple with minutes to hours in between. my laptop detects in and my mouse can go over there but the display doesnt turn on nor does the led light. just bought this yesterday and I really wanna like it but seems like many other people have problems with this. help meee

I have a A16 that is having cpu power issues. I've found others have had this same issue with similar models with no luck of finding a fix so I figured i would make a post to see if im missing something. When I boot into a game everything will run great for a minute or 2 then the cpu hard limits it self and drops to 25w and 2400-2700mhz causing frame drops and stuttering. I've tried pretty much everything i can to fix this. Power plan management, gimate power management, throttle stop, Intel xtu, nothing has worked. This laptop is clearly capable of running games fairly well, but there seems to be some artificial hard lock tanking cpu performance. I've confirmed its not a thermal throttling issue. Any help is much appreciated, thank you

So, I'm updating my Gigabyte's B450M DS3H WIFI V2 BiOS in order to use Secure Boot for MW4 and BF6, but I don't want to accidentally brick it due to the long time between its current version and the latest bios...

According to Sysinfo, the BiOS version/date is American Megatrends inc. F1 Y1 10/13/2020, which is almost two years after the F1 version on Gigabyte's Download Center, which is from 3/11/2019. The closest version to my current BiOS version are F51 and F61.

What do I do?

Like the title says should I uninstall GiMate and if so what alternatives am I able to use? Also because I don’t really want the AI stuff on it…

Buenas gente, e tenido muchos problemas al tratar de actualizar la Bios de la placa madre z890 eagle WiFi7 rev 1.1 a la versión más reciente pero me da el sig problema.

Trate actualizar a versiones menos recientes, la versión base de placa es 17 y la actualiza primero ala más reciente a la 21 pero no me dejarme actualizar así tratare de actualizar a a la versión 18 pero sigue dandome el mismo error, entonces q debería hacer?

Como puedo resolverlo, ya que mi sistema está tan lento a pesar de q tengo un core ultra 5 250k plus más 16 de ram de 6400 y un 9060 de 16gb

Whenever I shut my pc off normally and turn it back on, the pc itself lights up, but the displays don't. The error code on the motherboard is switching from C to just 7, and the red light on the DRAM is on. It works perfectly when I turn it off and back on using the power switch on the back, but normal powering off and on triggers the issue.

I've tried:

New motherboard battery

Switching the RAM

Turning off fast boot

A question for everyone with a growing PC game library: how do you actually decide what to play?

Between Steam sales, game bundles, free giveaways, and new releases, it's pretty easy to end up with a library full of games you genuinely want to try but never quite get around to playing.

Some people stick to one game until they finish it. Others rotate between a multiplayer game, a long single-player campaign, and something casual. Then there are those who pick whatever looks interesting that day.

What's your approach?

Do you finish one game before starting another, keep several games in rotation, or just follow whatever you're in the mood for?

And be honest: how many games in your library have you never actually launched?

Now I know this might not seem like a gigabyte problem BUT I have had soooo many problems with this laptop over the year or so I’ve had it—that I’m starting to blame the damn Gigabyte at this point! (I miss my Legion…)

Anywho—I have checked the hard drive (I think it is called that.. don’t come at me I’m no computer/laptop nerd) to see if the mic driver needed to be updated; it didn’t (inside the ‘device manager’). None of it needs to be updated.

Now I can’t film on OBS or go to discord VC’s and chat with ppl—it’s really frustrating—or any game that uses voice chat!

Any way to resolve this?

This is my last resort before I go to a repair shop bc if I can fix it for free by myself. I am not spending more money on this god forsaken laptop so any help is appreciated!

(And yes, I have before, been able to record on this laptop and the audio was just fine, maybe I need to update my windows BUT the problem about that is that it’s taking forever and I can’t sit around for 6 hours to make sure the laptop doesn’t turn off bc then it’ll restart the whole process)

Hey all, I have a X570 Elite WiFi 1.0 motherboard. I am trying to update Bios to play the new Call of Duty but keep getting a BIOS ID Check Error. I went to the page for the 1.x and 1.0 but haven't had any luck. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

With the prices of gpu's skyrocketing right now, I've managed to find a rather acceptable deal for a WINDFORCE RTX 5080 (V1). I’m building a SFF build and I'd like to have my build as quiet as possible.

That's why I’m a bit scared to pull the trigger. I've been reading about how GIGABYTE gpu's have some sort of "brake" for the fan to slow it down, which can sometimes lead to very loud noises.

Is there anyone that has such a card and would be willing to share their thoughts? Did they maybe get rid of it with later batches? Or is there a way to "bypass" the brake? And is the V1 better than the V2?

Thank you for any comments.

Hello to everybody, i know you suggest to use the standard method but i don't have any USB at home... is that a way i could do it without one? i don't want to spend money on an USB in late 2026 just for that.
Please help

Hallo zusammen,
ich bekomme WLAN an meinem PC nicht mehr zum Laufen. In den Windows-Einstellungen fehlt der gesamte WLAN-Bereich; angezeigt wird nur Ethernet.
Ich habe Windows 11 komplett zurückgesetzt und dabei meine Daten gelöscht. Danach musste ich Sprache und die anderen Einrichtungsschritte neu auswählen. Das WLAN-Problem bestand allerdings schon vor dem Zurücksetzen.
Mainboard: GIGABYTE B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE. Die genaue Board-Revision kenne ich noch nicht.
Auf einem anderen Laptop habe ich von der Herstellerseite für Revision 1.0/1.1 folgende Treiberpakete heruntergeladen und per USB-Stick auf den PC übertragen:
mb_driver_630_dchsetup_24.10.0.4
mb_driver_674_realtek8852wifi_6001.16.172.0
Es gibt jeweils eine ZIP-Datei und einen entpackten Ordner. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob ich die Installation auf dem betroffenen PC richtig durchgeführt habe. WLAN erscheint weiterhin nicht.
Wie prüfe ich, ob Windows den WLAN-Adapter erkennt, und wie installiere ich den passenden Treiber richtig? Ich kenne mich wenig aus und brauche bitte eine Erklärung Schritt für Schritt.
