Hello,

Mobo: ga-z97x-ud5h-bk
Cpu: i7 4790k
Ram: Kingston Fury 16gb 1600mhz
Storage: m.2 ssd
PSU: seasonic x-650w
Video: evga gtx 970 acx 2.0
Mobo bios version is latest: F7
Problem is... When I assembled PC today, i started it and got error code b2 or 62 idk is it b or 6. It stays there for 30-40 secs, then goes away for next post code and screen is always black.
Googled abit, took GPU out of the mobo, started PC with onboard gpu - all works fine. Tried all 3 PCI-E lanes with gtx 970, same error b2 or 62 and screen is always black(no image). Tried with 1 ram stick, tried with second, tried other ram slots, no success. Tried other PSU, corsair RM550, no success. Tried r9 270x to check PCI-E lanes, all is working fine. Tried disabling onboard gpu, no success. System boots with gtx 970 only then, when i manualy set to use IGFX(onboard gpu) in bios. then yes, i can boot with video card in slot. If i choose PCIe1(by default it is set to PCIe1), then again theres black screen no image. Googled again, and found alot topics with the same problem on other mobos, wheres BIOS update helped to solve this problem. What i found on MSI forum, that mobo cant recognize uefi blablabla or some kind of that **it. Could anyone with this kind of setup to say or gigabyte members to check mby theres bios update needed, that its not the BIOS its your VIDEO Card that is faulty.

Tried this EVGA GTX 970 on other mobo, and it seems its GPU fault. Today it went to RMA, on monday going to use MSI GTX 970, hope this will work.
