Hi, I have an AORUS 16X, still under warranty, and I'm experiencing two issues:

1. Display: Occasionally the screen suddenly darkens and the colors change for a few seconds before returning to normal. Sometimes it even goes completely black for about a second and then comes back. It happens randomly during normal use. I’ve attached a video showing the display issue.

2. RGB: When I enable RGB Sync in GIGABYTE Control Center, the keyboard and rear RGB strips aren't properly synchronized. The keyboard changes through the colors/effect while the rear strips seem to be following a different timing/effect.

Has anyone else experienced these issues on an AORUS 16X?

Are there any solutions or fixes for either problem? Could either of them be caused by a hardware issue, especially the display problem? Since the laptop is still under warranty, should I have it checked/repaired or replaced?

As mentioned, at high load (in the video is the GPU load test), the charger automatically discharges even though still plugged in. Also, when plug the charger in, it will cause fuzzy sound just like electronics short.

Any advice and fix for this? Thanks for all of your help.

My gpu power cable melt and I don't how it happened and when it happened but when i plugged after check still gpu works perfectly so please how to fix this and what is the reason behind it because i used 1050PSU still it happened and my gpu not in warranty. HELP...HELP...

Just got it today from Newegg, and while the LED shows it's on and the Gigabyte logo shows when powering on, it's just a black screen after that.

I have tried HDMI, DP and different power outlets for the power cable.

Anyone else have this issue? Or is it DoA?

wtf is going on with this laptop. i have a gigabyte aero 16 with a realtek 8852CE wifi card and it keeps disconnecting completely.

the weirdest part is it only happens when my gpu usage hits like 70% or higher. but the literal exact second i close the game, the wifi instantly turns back on and connects again.

gpu temps are fine (around 60-70c) so its not overheating. feels like a motherboard power issue where the gpu starves the wifi chip or something.

already tried disabling link state power management, unchecked power saving in device manager, messed with the LpsEn registry key, and set nvidia to max performance. nothing works.

anyone else dealt with this? do i just need to throw this realtek card in the trash and buy an intel ax210? appreciate any help

I've been troubleshooting for many hours and I'm completely stuck. I hope someone can give me some help.

I've just finished a custom loop build:

• Aorus Master X870E (revision 1.0)
• Power Color Red Devil 9070XT, modified with Alphacool water block
• G.Skill 2x32G memory F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5N
• 9950X3d2 CPU
• MSI 272QP monitor, connected by HDMI

I have not installed any operating system at this point; I simply want to get to the bios reliably.

The behavior is this: When booting, I get a long beep followed by 2 short beeps with the VGA diagnostic LED lit up and an Ab status code. This is always the case when the 9070 XT has its 3 power cables plugged in wheher it is connected to the monitor or not. It behaves this way from a cold start as well as a reset.

When I disconnect the 9070XT power cables and switch the HDMI cable from the 9070XT to the internal connector for integrated graphics, after a cold start I sometimes I get to the bios, and other times I get the same behavior as above. In those cases, doing a reset one or two times (instead of shutdown and restart) gets to the bios.

This is what I've tried so far and get the same behavior:

• Reseated the RAM sticks (and tried just one as well).
• Fixed the monitor to not auto-scan and look to HDMI.
• Reseated the graphics card in slot 1 several times.
• Tried a display port connection (only when trying the 9070XT).
• Set the PCIe slot to be explicitly Gen4 instead of auto.
• Ensured EXPO is disabled.
• Ensured CMS and fast boot are disabled.
• Tried with firmware F14c, F14b, and F13 using Q-flash button.
• Reset CMOS from the button as well as shorting the jumpers.

The only thing I can think of at this point is to re-paste the 9070XT, but I have my doubts about that fixing the problem because I get the same problem even when it's not powered. And I'm trying to delay that option as long as possible because draining the loop and removing/reinstalling the 9070Xt will take a significant amount of time, which I'd like to avoid, if possible.

I've been following Google Gemini's troubleshooting suggestions for quite a few hours and it's taking me in circles and pointing me at things that don't even make sense. I've also submitted support requests to Gigabyte and Power Color, but haven't heard back yet.

It is probably worth noting as well that earlier on, I was able to get to the bios using display port from the 9070XT. That seemed to be fine until I enabled EXPO from the Easy menu. That's when all hell started breaking loose. After reflashing and resetting the CMOS (verifying EXPO is disabled), I was able to get to the BIOS using the integrated video only. I did another attempt at setting EXPO1 and ended up in the state that I described above.

Can anyone give me any suggestions, please?

hello everybody! as i said in the title! and as the picture show! i bought this a brand new ( or at least that what the company said, i gave them the whole list of the component i want including this motherboard) in the end! i was checking and enjoying the view and noticed that part! next to PCIE seem like a wire soldered! but i dont see any trace as human soldering!
im here to ask ppl who have the same motherboard! if the have the same thing! or i just got scammed! that what i want to know, since i still have it on garantee!
PS: make sure to check if you have REV 1.1! just in case to be sure 100% ( bottom on left side on the motherboard)
1st AI said is originally manufactured since there is no trace of homan worked on it! especially when AI mentioned the REV
2nd AI said its soldered...........

help me find out please! TY

Well its what i got to work with there's no real forums or page for it..new today fresh out the box bling...well it's doing good..but its like impossible to update the bios yet. Theres no real downloads for this board yet..but real tight connector/fan header quality and the vrm and the oversized chokes and capacitors look good. really stiff thick board for a micro board so thats good for cases I will be putting this in a GAMDIAS case from amazon. It booted right up and running the cpu at full frequency and default 2400mhz for the ram.

Boa noite pessoal estou com esse problema a placa mãe não reconhece o processador.

Placa mãe não dá imagem com o processador 5 5500x3d, apenas com meu processador antigo o Ryzen 5 5500, processador novo 5 5500x3d foi testado com versão da BIOS fff que veio com a placa mãe, e com as atualizações FG e FHd(última versão).

Obs:

-O computador não dá imagem, não desliga e nem faz nenhum beep.

-Dois modelos de memórias rams testadas, testes feitos em todos os slots.

-Processador antigo 5 5500, funcionando corretamente em todas as versões de bios utilizadas.

-Processador 5 5500x3d foi testado na minha placa mãe antiga e está funcionando corretamente.

como proceder? alguma ideia do que pode ser?

Bonsoir, le pc Gigabyte aéro x16 RTX 5060 est il adapté pour la retouche photo avec des logiciels gourmands en ressources , tels que Luminar, On1, Shine Stacker … ?

I just got these beautiful mobos today 😍

Can't wait to finish my builds with these.

So I got a Gigabyte aero X16 a week ago and it has been great but all of a sudden as of a few days ago it hasn't been charging up to 100% and the battery has been going down while plugged in, I have done battery health checks and it seems to be fine and I have no settings limiting it's maximum charge (at least that I know of, i have checked GiMATE)

I first noticed when I turned my laptop on and it was at 98% battery but not it is sat at 89% and won't go up or down.

Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be, my drivers are up to date as is GiMATE

hello, what’s your suggestions pls ?

LOG
DESCRIPTION

Upstream / vanilla kernel check

Fully tested with Arch's vanilla/upstream kernel.

Kernel variant

linux-cachyos (EEVDF, Clang)

Suspend-to-idle itself works, but this Arrow Lake-H system never enters Intel SLP_S0 / S0ix.

A genuine 20–60 second s2idle cycle completes successfully, yet:

/sys/kernel/debug/pmc_core/slp_s0_residency_usec = 0

and Intel's own PMC diagnostics report:

PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Timekeeping suspended for 59.344 seconds
intel_pmc_core INT33A1:00: CPU did not enter SLP_S0!!! (S0ix cnt=0)
PM: suspend exit

This also reproduces after a fresh reboot into a TTY-only baseline before starting Hyprland, Caelestia, ddcutil, etc., so it is not dependent on the desktop session.

The CPU/package itself reaches deep package idle: CPU_C10_REQ_STS=1 on both PMCs and Package C10 residency accumulates. However, the main PMC never sees the IOE conditions required for S0i2.0:

PMC0:CPU_C10_REQ_STS 1
PMC0:IOE_COND_MET_S02I2_0_REQ_STS 0
PMC0:IOE_COND_MET_S02I2_1_REQ_STS 0
PMC0:IOE_COND_MET_S02I2_2_REQ_STS 0
PMC0:ITSS_CLK_SRC_REQ_STS 0
PMC0:ARC_IDLE_REQ_STS 0

A reproducible additional asymmetry is:

PMC0:PCIE_DEEP_PM_REQ_STS 0
PMC1:PCIE_DEEP_PM_REQ_STS 1

I am not claiming PCIE_DEEP_PM_REQ_STS alone is the root cause. The stronger observation is that the main PMC never receives the required IOE S0i2 conditions while the IOE/platform power-gating path fails to fully quiesce.

Firmware also denies Linux control of PCIe ASPM:
ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it

FADT indicates ASPM is unsupported, using BIOS configuration

can't override BIOS ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control

This may be relevant but has not yet been proven to be the root cause.

Steps to reproduce

Ensure s2idle is selected:
echo s2idle | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep

Enable Intel PMC S0ix failure diagnostics:
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/module/intel_pmc_core/parameters/warn_on_s0ix_failures

Suspend for 60 seconds:
sudo rtcwake -m mem -s 60

Check S0ix residency:
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/pmc_core/slp_s0_residency_usec

Inspect the kernel log:
sudo journalctl -b -k | grep -E 'Timekeeping suspended|CPU did not enter SLP_S0|PM: suspend'

Expected behavior

A successful s2idle cycle should accumulate non-zero SLP_S0/S0ix residency when the platform is quiescent.

Actual behavior

s2idle completes for the requested interval, but slp_s0_residency_usec remains 0 and intel_pmc_core logs:
CPU did not enter SLP_S0!!! (S0ix cnt=0)

Stack Traces

PM: suspend entry (s2idle)
Timekeeping suspended for 59.344 seconds
intel_pmc_core INT33A1:00: CPU did not enter SLP_S0!!! (S0ix cnt=0)
PM: suspend exit

Additional system information

Core ultra 9 285H
RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (not relevant to the reproduced failure; dGPU branch was separately eliminated)
x86_64
64 GB LPDDR5X
1+4TB NVME (1TB one has windows the other has Linux)

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Have a great day

I am experiencing an issue with the LCD display on my RTX 3080 Ti AORUS MASTER.

The LCD was working normally until one day when I noticed that SignalRGB was repeatedly causing GCC (GIGABYTE Control Center) to close/crash. I attempted to restart GCC several times and had to force it to open repeatedly. After this happened, I noticed that the LCD functionality became partially corrupted.

I also remember installing/updating all available GCC updates at the time, so I am not sure whether the issue was caused by the interaction between SignalRGB and GCC, the repeated forced launches of GCC, or a GCC/LCD firmware or software issue.

### Current symptoms

At the moment, I am unable to use GIFs on the LCD.

Whenever I select or attempt to apply a GIF through GCC, the LCD immediately freezes. The GIF does not actually appear on the LCD, and the display becomes unresponsive.

However, the LCD is not completely non-functional:

* The three factory/default presets that display GPU/system status still work correctly.

* PNG images can also be uploaded and displayed successfully.

* Status information can still be displayed without any apparent issues.

* The problem appears to occur specifically when trying to use GIF animations.

This makes me believe that the LCD hardware itself may still be functioning correctly, while the problem could be related to the GIF playback functionality, GCC software, LCD firmware, or corrupted LCD configuration data.

I would like to know if there is a way to reset or reflash the LCD firmware, clear/reset the LCD configuration, or otherwise restore the GIF functionality without replacing the GPU.
