I just upgraded to a Palit GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB RAM and I'm experiencing a problem with it. The system takes slightly longer to display the BIOS splash screen and the graphics card goes into some sort of a safe mode when PC is turned on. So if I just turn on my computer windows will act as if the card is unknown generic type and try to reinstall the drivers and prompt for system reset; ubuntu crashes while loading (blinking marker for too long). If I restart the computer pretty much at any point afar the BIOS splash screen (the first time it is turned on) -- I usually do it after the GRUB screen appears -- without even getting in an OS the card works normally. I just bought a new more powerful PSU (Alpine 700W with a 6-pin connector). The problem shouldn't be OS-related as it also occurs on Ubuntu, but you never know. I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed. I have set the initialise first to PEG in the BIOS. I also updated to the latest version of BIOS (motherboard GA-EP35-DS3). Any other possible reasons for that behaviour?
I had set the initialise first to PEG. I also have no POST feature in the BIOS. Is the BIOS to blame? I had a PCIe graphics card (Nvidia 9400 GT) and it had no such problems. – Aleksandar Savkov – 2014-01-08T12:27:26.880
The BIOS POST is a process, not a feature you find in the setup screens. It can be the BIOS' 'fault' if it doesn't allow a reasonable time for the hardware to initialise.
The delay I'm referring to is called "Hard Disk Pre-Delay" or "HDD DELAY", but as it's intended for hard drives, it may not take place at the appropriate time during the POST and is a long shot at best. – Steven Don – 2014-01-08T13:24:05.620
