So here's my Problem,*
If I cold start my machine (2+ hours) my GPU is not recognized in the bios/ EUFI or by Windows 10 (64bit). I can restart and restart, and it's like the GPU is not connected. Once the GPU is recognized, it's good until the machine sets off or sleep for (2+ hours).
I get mixed results if I reseat the card. Sometimes it will recognize the GPU sometimes it won't. *Because of this I bought a PCIe Extender (25cm) thinking maybe something was wrong with the PCIe Slot or the PCIe connectors on the GPU, If I plug the card into either PCIe slot the symptoms do not change.
Here's where it gets weird, I noticed that the AURA lighting controls would reset (go black) whenever the machine would start and not recognize the GPU. If I set up the AURA lighting, then Shut down the machine, and use the power button to start the machine, the GPU gets recognized. AURA resets again, but now I can restart or shut down and power up, everything is all good, until I cold start again.
Iv'e tested the PSU and it tests good. I can't figure this out. I'm thinking it's the motherboard, but I'm open to suggestions, I have 2 weeks to return it to Amazon.
