i have a shuttle pc that i want to turn into a small gaming pc. it works fine without a gpu installed. it even works with a few of the gpus i have. so far it works with an older quadro, hd 6850, gt 630, and a 6870. it will not boot with my 1050 ti 1070 or 960.
i have tried a few diffrent psus. ranging from 300-700 watts with the same results. it shows the first part of the bios and locks up. any ideas? i cleared the cmos. it shows up to press del to enter setup but it just locks up there. any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

what i have tried so far
newest bios
fresh windows 10
cleared bios
tried to force boot into safe mode
tried diffrent power supplys. about to try the 850 watt just to see

tried to boot with a corsair 850 watt psu. no change. the bios has setting to change pcie lane speeds from gen1-gen3. tried all three no change. changed out the i7 for a pentium with no change. kinda at a loss. i cant find anything saying the pcie slot is a lower wattage then normal. if that was the case i wouldnt think the 6870 would boot.

will not boot with a gtx 760.
seems to be gpu age related

cant update the last post for some reason. got the 760 to work by forcing the integrated graphics in the bios and putting the hdmi in the motherboard and when the screen goes black move it over to the 760. looks like its an issue with the motherboard not having a uefi instead of a bios. downloading and installing drivers for the 760 to see if this stops the having to move the hdmi cable issue. tried this with the other cards with no success.

I feel your pain spent most of the weekend putting in a new 1070 because last one broke and i Needed to RMA it. GL getting it work with your other cards if that's what your trying to do though. Godspeed

Can you list your hardware.

sorry guys was away i got it to boot finally.

its a h67 shuttle pc with an i7 3770 16 gb ddr3, samsung 840 pro ssd. currently running the stock 300 watt psu with a 1050 ti. fresh windows 10 install with all the updates and the newest gpu drivers

i ended up setting the video to onboard in the bios and just not seeing the anything until its time to put the password in.


now i cant get the damn thing stable it locks up randomly. i swapped out the psu for a 700 watt with the same results. i ran memtest86 for 3 runs shows no error had windows check the drive it shows nothing wrong. i can run prime95 for an hour some times without it locking up. temps stay around 69c for the cores and 56c on the chipset. it doesnt seem to matter what im doing it just locks up some times after hours sometimes after minutes

doesnt always lock up its now just bluescreening with error code, video scheduler internal error.

i dunno im thinking about scrapping it and doing a new build this is getting old lol.

My first guess is.... drum roll please... the power supply.

same issue when i swap it out. that was my first thought as well. other power supply i tried was 700 watts

newest bios and i changed the thermal paste on the chipset heatsink

i did swap out gpus back and forth so i think that messed with the drivers some. i just set it to complete reset windows. ill do all the updates before installing a gpu and also see if the lock up continues

I want to know more specifically your mobo model number.

Sounds to me like a faulty board.
Your BSOD's are generally caused by faulty gpu/drivers but you have several gpu's that don't work on it apparently. (This is without seeing the dump files)
I would verify that those gpu's do in fact work on another system if possible though this is a long shot at this point imo.

Does it have another PCI-E slot you can put the cards into?

Another user presented us with a similar claim not to long ago with the mobo not being compatible with a UEFI bios.
If this is fact the issue then you will need to get a new mobo without question if you want to use the newer gpu's.
