BIOS UPDATE FOR KABY LAKE SUPPORT RESULT: GPU DOES NOT WORK !!

BIOS UPDATE FOR KABY LAKE SUPPORT RESULT: GPU DOES NOT WORK !!
« on: February 04, 2017, 03:26:04 pm »

I updated bios for Kaby lake support. After updating, I plugged in the processor and it works perfectly. But the graphics card does not appear after BIOS update. I get images from on board. I installed the old beta bios and the video card is not working. I could not read the video card in any way. The latest BIOS version is F20 installed. Before that I used the F8 version and everything worked without any problems. Please help...
System components:
Motherboard: Gigabyte z170x gaming 7
Bios: F20
CPU: i7 7700k
GPU: Asus Rog gtx 1070 oc
SSD: Corsair force LE 120gb
Ram: Corsair Dominator 2x8GB 2400MHz CL10

I haven't had time to following this closely, but if I recall, only F20b or F20d was recommended as the vanilla 20 BIOS had issues.  Might have also been for a different series board, but would like to believe it applied to all z170 based boards. 

You mentioned installing the older beta BIOS?  Does this mean you tried b or d unsuccessfully? 

"I get images from on board."... Do you mean On-Board video works???

Have you reset the BIOS and set up from scratch or performed a battery pull with the mains disconnected and power button press for 10+ sec?

These types of updates are more complex since they affect so many areas of the core BIOS, voltages, stepping, multipliers, etc.

I installed the beta version F20d. But the problem went on. There has not been any change. No other solution? But I did not try the F20b version. Because I did not find it.

What is Bios reset? How is it done? What does it do? I have no idea. Could it be a solution?

CLR_CMOS switch or jumper on MB, or just pull the battery with the power connectors disconnected, then press and hold the power button on your case (or board) if equipped for about 10 sec.  Now, replace battery, reconnect power, start system enter BIOS and configure from scratch.

I applied all of what they said. There was no change. It's still the same.

Currently, "PCIe 1 Slot" is selected. But I've tried every single one before. The motherboard did not detect the graphics card.

Anyone who tries these bioses are beta testers, despite the announcement Gigabyte made in october stating that all z170 would support kaby lakes, they still dont, not without serious issues.

So i advise people to not try, do not waste your time working as beta testers for gigabyte.

I wish they gave half the support Intel gives on their forum, whats the point of having several localized forums and not giving proper support in any of them. User support in such matters, without any official support whatsoever is useless.

Not only that, ive found that mine GA-Z170N-WIFI throttles heavily with i7's without any overclock, a design flaw that gigabyte says nothing and has done nothing about it. I wanted to update my bios aswell to get a 7700k, now ill just have to sell the board for cheap because of its design flaw, and buy a new one from another brand to achieve what this board was supposed to achieve in the first place.

Failure all around.

Where did you get the f21b for the Z170x gaming 7?
