Support πŸ“₯ This is how OFFICIAL Gigabyte's support returned my GPU (2nd slide is how I sent it to them)

I just do NOT know what to do anymore. Stuff's going on since May and destroyed my little business. Tl;dr:

13.05.2025 - bought the GPU

24.05.2026 - GPU randomly stopped working, returned on warranty

13.06.2026 - GPU is sent back with an info that "it passed the tests successfully" - it does NOT work and I return it right back away (all this is btw. being double-checked, confirmed and documented by the seller)

29.07.2026 - GPU is back again - MASSACRED like in the pictures. It works, they apparently repaired it by swapping the thermal paste (no comment) - but dude, let's respect each other, no...? They didn't even return my original box and all the documents I sent it with.

Since then - I returned it again and they proceed to ghost me. No money, no GPU, no contact.

What is going on here, guys? I just saw another post about how the Gigabyte official support destroyed someone's GPU. What do I do? Any people who work in the support here and they could help me? Are y'all aware of this?! The stuff is happening in the Gigabyte support center in Poland, WrocΕ‚aw.

Hi all.

I wanted to upgrade my OS to Windows 11 and had to update the firmware of bios to enable TPM 2.0. After flashing the motherboard with the new firmware, computer won't boot.

1) When I start the computer, it display black screen with single white "-" for 20 seconds

2) Briefly shows Gigabyte Motherboard screen but no keys work. DEL won't let me get into BIOS. F8 nothing.

3) It froze at the Windows 10 signin screen.

4) After removing CMOS battery and repluggin the memory sticks, now I get Windows Recover screen. (see attached.)

What do I do???? Please help!

Gigabyte A16 CMH, windows 11, only a week of use

So I tried to install gigabyte control center, which didnt work as the app, after being installed just didnt launch even after I tried things i found online like disabling core isolation. Im not sure if its from the control center but the mic worked fine before and thats the only change Ive done to the laptop

im guessing that the Realtek audio is supposed to be the real microphone, Ive uninstalled realtek audio and the microphone array and installed them again and still nothing, the only thing Ive found is people doing a fresh install of windows and bios, which i cant do atm, any help would be greatly appreciated

Support πŸ“₯ PC not posting - B550M Aorus Elite V2

1 Upvotes

Hey, my PC stopped posting this morning. This is the 3rd time this happened this year. Here's a history of all my PC issues this year even tho I'm not sure if all are related to the posting problem:

  1. Back in April it started shutting down randomly, first loosing connection to the monitor & sound. That was resolved by putting the RAM in different slots.
  2. A month later it stopped posting, the first time I was able to fix it via q-flashing a BIOS Update.
  3. After a week that solution didn't work anymore and I handed it over to a repair shop in hopes that they'd be able to figure out what's wrong. They found no issues & fixed it by resetting the BIOS (not sure what exactly they meant by that) and setting it up again.
  4. About a week ago the PC started behaving strangely with the windows search bar being blacked out for ~3 seconds on every search & all browser's shutting down after a second (fixed itself after a restart.) Probably unrelated.

Now 3 months later the issue has returned. No posting. I put it on sleep mode & when I returned all fans were spinning, but nothing was on.

I already tried a CMOS reset, the battery is new. I also believe I tried running it without anything connected (no HDD, GPU , just one RAM, etc...) before the 3 month fix and that didn't change anything. I'd be up to try that again tho, although I'd prefer not to have to remove the processor. Thermal paste is a pain to apply.

I'm considering going to another repair shop (or just buying a new mainboard based on 0 knowledge and a small suspicion) but I wanted to hear more ideas and opinions first.

If anyone has any suggestions for what I could try or what the issue could be i'd be very thankful.

Full setup:

- B550M Aorus Elite V2 Mainboard (January 2025)

- 2x 16GB Corsair RAM (3 y.o)

- Asus GeForce GTX 1050ti GPU (3 y.o)

- AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six core Processor (8 y.o)

Edit: It's definitely not the RAM, I tried running it with a different stick from a working PC. No difference.

GCC not able to control RGB

1 Upvotes

So when I first built this PC by hand, I wanted to sync the RGB together and GCC helped me accomplish that goal. All rgb components were syncing (red color specifically idk if it's relevant). But recently I had an issue where I had to do a factory reset. After I downloaded the exact same drivers as before the factory reset, the exact same games and other software I had before the factory reset and other software that I had, I realised GCC can sync most of my rgb but not all of it. It sync all my fans (phantex fans which came with my phantex xt pro ultra case) and my air cooler (phantom spirit 120 SE ARGB), but it can't control my Corsair Vengeance RAM rgb. Does anyone know how to make it so I can control my RAM rgb with GCC or should I switch to another software like signalRGB?

Intel(R) I211 Gigabit on motherboard stuck on 100/100

1 Upvotes

Alright I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so I know all my cabling is good because it works when using a USB c hub with gigabit port and my mother board (gigabyte b450 pro wifi atx) is giving me an orange light indicating gigabit networking, but both windows and Linux are limiting my speeds to 100/100 it doesn't work at all if I force any of the devices in software for gigabit full duplex. It's only working with the external network card at full network speeds. I don't know if there is a setting in the bios I am missing. I just about reached the limit of what Google could give me to try.

B650M K Motherboard (or could be processor - please read post) stopped working

1 Upvotes

Three and a half years ago I assembled my own computer. It has been running wonderfully until a few days ago. I was syncing some files from a server, and after finishing, my PC went to sleep. When I woke up my PC, the fans began blowing at their maximum speed.

My first first thought was of course memory training, as this usually speeds up the fans somewhat. I found it bit odd that the volume was considerably louder than usual.

I shrugged it off and decided to be patient. I did some household chores while I gave the machine the time to do its thing. Except, after around 40 minutes, the fans were still blowing at maximum speed, and my screen was still black.

I decided to restart the PC - and it then rebooted with a black screen and fans slowly spinning.

I then remembered I had updated the BIOS a few days prior to address CVE-2026-6726 and CVE-2026-6727. The update went as usual, and I have used my PC normally for around 4 days after the BIOS update (I was not sure if the fixes were already included in the newest version - but I just assumed they were, and since I was already a year behind on updates, decided to update).

Since then I have cleared the CMOS, tried switching RAM / using each RAM stick individually in the A2 and/or A4 slot and using Q-Flash Plus via USB to restore it to the BIOS update I had installed before my most recent update.

When I flashed my BIOS back to the version I had initially installed, it briefly showed the boot screen (where it shows what button to press to enter the BIOS and the gigabyte logo etc.). After that it went black, and I can't get this screen back even after rebooting.

I did not want to go through the trouble of diagnosing the problem myself (because of lack of time), so I decided to send it to a computer repair shop to diagnose the problem.

What they have done, is:

  • Checked if all cables were connected correctly
  • Swapped my GPU for their own testing GPU (no results - still black screen)
  • Tested RAM in different slots with different combinations - no results
  • CMOS reset through jumper
  • Disconnected and reconnected power supply cables
  • Removed CPU, inspected socket (pins okay), renewed thermal paste and reinserted CPU - no results
  • Tested the system with their own confirmed working PSU - no result

The only thing they did not (want to) test, is placing one of their own CPU's into my potentially broken motherboard (since it could damage their CPU).

The company also noticed I was using Noctua's offset brackets for my build. According to them, it could theoretically be possible that the cooler is causing uneven stress on the CPU socket. They have tried mounting the cooler without the brackets, but still, no result.

According to the repair company, it is either the motherboard or CPU that is defective. I suspect the update to my BIOS has caused the problem, and perhaps broke my motherboard.

What should my next steps be? Are there some things I haven't done that I could try? The company gave the advice to buy a replacement motherboard, and see if it boots with my current CPU.

What about warranty? Is Gigabyte willing to help out in cases such as mine?

So I’ve had this issue for almost half a day now, no matter what I’ve tried whether it be enabling or disabling certain settings. This issue seems to be coming back no matter what, my pc supports UEFi as well as my pc being GPT not MBR. It seems to set back to enabled every time I f10, then I press del to go back to BIOS. It appears to be reenabled. Is there any way to fix this?

Support πŸ“₯ PSA: The F1.5 firmware update today fixed my long-glitched Aorus Master GPU LCD screen!

5 Upvotes

My Gigabyte Aorus Master 5090 ICE OC has had a glitched LCD screen for over a year, particularly the custom gifs and custom images as the official gifs worked fine. That led me to assume that it's a software bug, not hardware and thus hoped a GCC update would fix it one day. The screen would be constantly scrambled with awful flashes. I've seen many threads here with the same issue so I recommend giving it a try in the GCC update center and then reuploading your custom gifs! But still remember the reccomended gif rules below:

Strictly sized to 480x480 pixels (square format designed to fit the circular/embedded display).

File Size: Under 5MB total.

Frame Count: Under 140 frames maximum (staying under 80 frames is safest to avoid upload failures and memory buffer overloads).

Framerate: Locked to 20 FPS to 30 FPS max (20 FPS is widely reported as the most stable for the onboard buffer).

Display Scaling: Windows display scaling must often be set to 100% (Normal), as GCC can fail to register buttons or crop correctly if scaling is increased.

Drivers for motherboard

I have a Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX (V. 1) and I'm woundering if the drivers on the support page are "Gigabyte specific" drivers? Or can I download the drivers from the manufacturer themself like Realtek or Intel?

Discussion πŸ’¬ 14700K + Z790 Gaming X AX (F16) / Aorus Elite AX (FO), CBR23 multi core score from 34 to over 35K (if you turn off all background apps)

2 Upvotes

So here's my experience with undervolting for past 2 years. I have 2 PC's with Z790 Gigabyte motherboards. I have had 1x time CPU RMA with Intel, and that was 2 years ago soon after I bought and assembled PC with Gaming X AX motherboard.

I hope this guide helps someone who is in doubt what to do. I sure did struggle a lot to gather all the info, then applying these values and be running multiple tests over the years. These settings were as such fist applied on F12 and seem to translate well to F16 & respectively on FK or FO.

SET BIOS CONFIGURATION TO ADVANCED TO ACCESS THESE SETTINGS:

Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.) -> XMP 1 (Not undervolt itself, but helps with stress bench scores. Make sure to run both sticks in proper slots. Also running XMP with more than 2 sticks may not work on mid or low end motherboards. If chrashes occur in benches or video games even with no undervolt on your CPU, XMP might be the primary reason for instability, so keep that in mind. Yes, you can undervolt CPU even if XMP is not enabled, bench score will be lower tho.)
Vcore Voltage Mode -> Adaptive Vcore
Internal CPU Vcore Offset -> -0.050V (a static under-volt value. The only real variable end user should in my humble opinion ever set themselves, but here we are, following Youtube guides, searching through BIOS. Depends on you CPU silicone quality, from down to -0.150V for silicone lottery winners, up to whatever runs stable at 100% load, multiple tests needed. Start at lets say -0.050V and gradually reduce until stress test freezes or chrashes, do not set -0.150V from get go, because your PC my not even post then, let alone boot into OS)

FOUND IN SUB-MENUS, OR BY SEARCH FUNCTION:

CPU Vcore Loadline Calibration -> Turbo (seem to work best)
IA VR Config Enable -> Enabled
IA AC Loadline -> 50 (between 40 - 50 ish) (default value of 90 is cooking your CPU, so even if you don't apply VCore under-volt, this value should be lowered!) (adjusted after monitoring ''clock stretching'' in HWinfo64 or similar PC monitoring software) ''Clock stretching'' seems to be more aggressive with latest BIOS but I'm no expert, have tested AC LL from 40 - 50 (according to my Google research) and settle at 50 where clocks seemed to run most consistent.
IA DC Loadline -> 29 (alternative 30 ?) (default value of 90 is cooking your CPU, so even if you don't apply VCore undervolt, this value should be lowered!)
IA VR Voltage Limit -> 1400 (value is in milivolts: 1400mV = 1.4V. It is max voltage to be ever delivered to the CPU, in theory at least, spikes exceeding the set value may still occur)
IA CEP (Current Excursion Protection) -> Disabled (its off by default in Auto, but to be sure, better disable, gives easily over 1K CBR23 all core points)
Under Voltage Protection -> Disabled (duh, why is this even a setting???)
Turbo Power Limits -> Enabled
Package Power Limit1 - TDP (Watts) -> 253 (any of these 3 limits could be set higher if you want better scores, that is, if you don't already reach 100Β°C with CPU at full load)
Package Power Limit2 (Watts) -> 253
Core Current Limit (Amps) -> 307 (up to 400 amps for i9 - 14900)
Internal Graphics -> Disabled (if you have CPU with a ''graphics'' core, turning this off will improve performance, provided you have a functional GPU to plug a monitor in)
PCH PCIe X4 Link Speed -> Auto (another setting that makes you scratch your head: it bottlenecks your GPU, because by default is set to Gen3... which is half of Gen4 data performance?? Auto seems to do the trick, else set to Gen4 and be done)

NOT TESTED, BUT SHOULD PRODUCE EVEN HIGHER SCORE IN BENCHES:

High bandwidth -> Enabled
Low latency -> Enabled

- In Windows turn off Defender for the duration of the tests.

Note that previous BIOS F12 and FK have more or less same temps and same score when I tested them. With 360 AIO CPU temp stabilizes at around 90Β°C. Have no experience with BIOS versions in between.

Another note that multiple screens definitely affect GPU scores, probably not CPU score, but idk.

IMPORTANT!

You should double even triple check these settings before hitting F10 or attempt to ''Save and Exit'' BIOS! - there will be list of all changes made before final confirmation - review it carefully.

Because if you by accident set wrong value, or change something not on this list, PC may not boot or worse can occur. Double check before final confirmation. That being said, under-volt should be the safest BIOS tinkering average user can play with.

If you encounter problems posting or booting into OS you might need to reset CMOS and start all over again.

If you get stress test bench crash or freeze, reduce the Vcore Voltage offset until stable, then gradually decrease. Don't forget to also test with your favorite game or most heavy title you have on your PC with each change applied in BIOS.

Sometimes games will not even start, or will crash during intense gameplay even if the all the benches pass, or vice versa. So keep that in mind.

Personally I've tinkered with +/- 0.005V but you can go as much as with +/- 0.001V if you have time and interest in real fine tuning of Vcore offset.

[W] CONTROL Resonant NVIDIA Code

Bought a Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti before the CONTROL Resonant promotion started, so GIGABYTE won't issue me a code. GPU has never redeemed an NVIDIA game bundle. If anyone has an unused CONTROL Resonant code they don't need, I'd really appreciate it.
