Hey guys,
I've got a system with a B650E-I Strix, and every time I do a reboot, there's no video afterwards. The PC functions fine. It boots into Windows. I can hear the sounds, and if I press the power button it will shut down like normal, but the video never comes on. Any cold boots work fine and has video like normal.
This is such a strange issue I started noticing a couple years ago when I went from a 2080 Ti to a 3080 Ti. At the time I was on an Intel 9900K and Asus Maximus X Apex. It was really frustrating at the time. I ended up going to a 13900K and just figured the issues would go away. They did not. It would usually work ok if I just had my 1440P monitor plugged in, but if I had the 4K plugged in too, it would not have video on boot after a restart. Any time I had to do updates, driver installs, or anything that required a restart, I had to unplug the 4K monitor.
I have since built another system based on 7800X3D and SFF with a 4080 FE and all new hardware. I have the same problems. Now, it's not even getting video after reboot with just the 1440P monitor plugged in. It makes it impossible to use as I can't do driver updates or anything that requires a successful restart. I tried to do a driver update through GeForce Experience, and of course had no video when it rebooted. I waited and shut the PC down, and then on cold boot the driver install had failed. I can't reboot into safe mode to use DDU to do a proper driver install. It's quite the conundrum.
At this point, it almost has to be a bios setting. Is this a problem someone has seen before? I have seen it across multiple systems now. The only constant is the ROG bios. I have very normal hardware, so I would think if I was having this problem on multiple systems that it would be a widespread problem. Maybe it's something I'm setting wrong in the bios.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
