I am sure this is a BIOS or mobo problem. It definitely has nothing to do with Windows and I upgraded my PSU to see if it was power problems.
My motherboard is the N68-VS3. The card is XFX Radeon HD 5770. Hitachi Deskstar HDD. AMD FX-6100 Six-Core Processor @ 3.3Ghz. Soon to be getting a 60GB SSD. Team DDR3-1333 2x4GB RAM.
My problem is that sometimes, the VGA card is not 'seen' by the BIOS and it doesn't power on. The card normally makes a whining sound when it is on but when I have this problem I hear nothing. I have set the primary adapter to PCI Express, which is the slot the card is in and sometimes, it works. But other times, it ignores the card completely and displays on the chipset graphics (I'm a gamer and they are worthless).
I have tried playing with the settings but it doesn't help.
And my computer is a build; I can't go to a manufacturer and get my machine replaced.
