Help with my AsRock H61M-VG3 Board

[Duane Hudson]

I have just bought a new motherboard the AsRock H61m-VG3 And I have installed all my parts in it but my problem is that it's not picking up my gfx card which is a nvidia GTX 275, I have tried to disable and uninstall the onboard graphics on the board but it's still not picking my card up ... I was wondering if anyone could maybe help me this please...


Thank you in advance

Did you set Primary Graphics Adapter to PCI Express in the bios?
Can you test with another video card?
Which bios version are yuu using?

Hey..

Thanks for getting back to me.. Yes I have enabled the pci express in the bios for primary but it's just not picking it up.. I had my gfx card in my mates system and it worked fine.. I don't have a spare pci card at hand and my bios is american megatrends inc. p1.20 , 25/10/2012

ASRock > H61M-VG3 shows that P1.60 is the latest bios and it might help.
Don't flash your bios right away, wait for a couple of the ASRock "gurus" to give some advice.

It's very important that you read and understand the ASRock How to Update bios flashing instructions on the bios download page.

Hi Hudson,

I tested Leatek GTX275 on H61M-VG3, system can boot normally with BIOS P1.20 or P1.60.
Please kindly refer to below suggestions for testing.
1. Load BIOS default settings to try.
2. Check the 6-pin power connector of VGA card is connected correctly.
3. If possible, please kindly change another PCI-E VGA card to check if the symptom still occur.

Thanks!

Have a nice day
