For the past week or two I have been trying to resolve issues with getting my Gigabyte 590 GTX to work with my Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH motherboard, and could really use some help.
So I have been running a 560ti card fine for the past few months, since I got my motherboard.
Upgraded to a 590 GTX and just cannot get my PC to boot into Windows without getting a BSOD ("0x00000116" and "nvlddmkm.sys").
The only way I can get it to load into windows is if I totally uninstall the drivers for the 590. But as soon as install (or let windows install) any drivers, old or new, and restart, the problem returns.
I tried everything I could with the drivers, installing various different versions, cleaning them out, reinstalling, etc etc.
I then formatted and re-installed windows, many many times. I tried both x86 and x64 versions and corresponding drivers. Nothing fixed the BSOD on startup.
I then removed the card and tried it in an old system, running a 775 ASUS P5B motherboard... and it started up fine, no problems! So I dont think the 590 is at fault.
My power supply is a Corsair HX750 (750W). I have tried using another Corsair TX750 (750W) that my old system run it fine with, and still get the same BSOD. So I dont think its the PSU at fault.
I have unplugged all other PCI card incase there was a conflict. And removed all but one stick of RAM. I have also tried it in a different PCIe slot. Still, didnt solve it.
So that leaves me to believe the motherboard is at fault.
I was running on the latest BIOS (F10b) and have also tried the last "stable" BIOS too (version F9). Since joining the forums I tried 11a, and I am currently on 9b.
I am dissapointed such an expesnive card doesnt seem to work with my motherboard, I thought compatibility would have been checked, especially as both products are Gigabyte :(
Please help! I have raised a ticket with Gigabyte direct, but not recieved much assistance yet. Has anyone else got this combination running? Are there any known issues with the Z77X-UP4 and card compatibility? I'm hoping it could just be a simple driver/BIOS fix, or option change somewhere. After dozens of hours trying to get it to work, I am really at a complete loss!
My system specs are:
Intel i5 3570K
Gigabyte Z77X-UP4TH
16GB Corsair Vengeance
Gigabyte 590 GTX
Corsair 750W PSU
2x 500Gb HDD (RAID)
128GB Cruicial M4 SSD
Xfi Xtreme Music
Windows 7 64Bit Ultimate
