Title: ga-z77x-ud3h hanging at bios screen when gtx 970 installed
Post by: magnoblade on October 19, 2014, 04:29:01 am
I have a ga-z77x-ud3h rev 1.0 mobo with an f9 bios and currently running a evga gtx 660ti. I have bought a evga 970 then proceeded to install it and now it hangs just at my bios splash screen and the post code i notice on my mobo is a 62. so will updating my bios to f20e fix it or what bios should i update too as f20e is a beta bios.

Could you put up some more spec. Just telling us what board you have will not help.

Had the same problem with my z77x ud5h. Looked around and found an answer: you need to update to a bios that has "Improve VGA compatibility" or any above it. After that it booted without any single issues. One more thing: if you leave your pc alone on the splash screen it will still boot eventually, just take a long ass time. Your best bet is to take out the 970, put in whatever gpu you had before to flash and then put in your 970.
