Asus Z690 Extreme, RTX4090 boot loop

Hi all,
I have a Corsair HX1200i and an MSI Suprim X RTX 4090.

PC works well until I have no nvidia driver, as soon as I install nvidia driver the PC reboots abruptly,
then windows starts, shows the desktop and reboot, this happen in a loop.

If I uninstall nvidia drivers PC works well.

If I rollback to an RTX2080Ti I don't have this problem.

Can it be some compatibility problem with the Z690 Extreme?

ok nice to know that you have no problem then.
as always Asus is absent.

Asus is the only manufacturer that is always absent.
There is a problem with many users and no one join the problem, no way to contact them, if you open a ticket they reply with automatic messages.

I'll think twice before buying asus next time

Hi, Can you share which CPU you are using?

Z690 APEX / 4090TUF OC. Unable to replicate here.

NVIDIA have currently offered a workaround to customers experiencing this problem whilst they investigate:

With no driver installed, install the RTX 4090 on your PC.
Install the driver and quickly go to the NVIDIA Control Panel, in the "3D Settings" section.
Set the power saving mode to "prefer maximum performance".
13900KS / 8000 CAS36 / ROG APEX Z790 / ROG TUF RTX 4090

I upgraded my 12900K with a 13900K with no other upgrade in terms of hardware/software version and my problem is now solved.

this does not have sense to me but ok, I'm glad that now it works.

I am still having this issue. 13700k with an MSI 4090 and a Z690 Hero board.

It was resolved by a BIOS update for ASUS boards. 2204 will sort it for z690 hero.
