Z270E gaming touble. (it is close to useless right now)

[KiloNiner]

Got an ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING that I thougth would be a nice mainboard to build a new gaming PC on. Got a ROG STRIX-GTX1060-O6G-GAMING graphic card that works fine with my old Sabertooth P67 installed on the new mainboard and it is laggy and uselsess as a gaming PC right now.

I have tried all the software that I can find to help me set the BIOS right. But nothing helps me to get it running smooth and be fun playing games at. Some of the softvare says that it can't run on my verion of W10 thogh I try to install the propper software from ASUS for W10 64 bits, as that is the OS I am useing. I have tried reinstalling W10 three times, made shure I got all uppdates and even ran all the repair tools I schould find for W10. Is this a know issue?

Now I got all the settings back to default and it is not even a good PC for surfing. So I hope some one here can help me to get it running and too restore my lost faith in ASUS some how.

Is there some way I should set BIOS up to work with my current set up of this gear.

Main board: ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING

Graphic card: ROG STRIX-GTX1060-O6G-GAMING

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mh (2x8 gig)

CPU: Intel i5-7600k

HDD 1: Corsair Force LE200 SSD

HDD 2: Intel SSD SC2KDW 480 H6


Or should I just try to get a new ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING from the store that I bought it from?

Clear your CMOS just in case and don't touch anything in the BIOS for now. Also make sure you install Windows in UEFI mode.

Looking forward to your results. 🙂

Ooops! Went ahead before reading the last post. It did not work, and I still had the same issues.

What is UEFI and how do I make sure to install in that mode?

[Chino]

Boot from the entry that has the UEFI prefix for your installation medium.

I recall you stating something about buying Windows 10 on an USB stick. Also have you tried using the latest ISO from Microsoft?

[KiloNiner]

Yes I used a W10 USB device to install. And I haw not tried to using the latest ISO from Microsoft. Can I download it and just run it without using an CD or USB stick?

[KiloNiner]

Found a USB stick and I'm working on it. Will be back to uppdate you if it works, an even if it does not. Can be useful infromation to other users too.

[KiloNiner]

Nope! That did not help me at all. Think I will give up trying soon.

I have the same mobo as you. I built everything first without the graphics card and made sure everything was running smoothly before adding my graphics card. It's better to download the latest Windows build from the Microsoft website - make sure you have your product key.

[KiloNiner]

It did not help me to download the ISO. As I said above. 😉 And I really thought that an ASUS mobo and an ASUS GPU would be compatible enough. But now I feel like ASUS isn't the brand I will turn to for new gear as it looks right now.
