Can't Enable iGPU!

I got the same motherboard (Asus Z77-V) a few days ago as a replacement for my P8P67 pro that blew its vrms and my 2500k.
Anyway from 1st boot on origonal 0705 bios i had all the options open that you dont, also upgraded to latest 1205 bios with no problems.

Only thing i can suggest is try cpu in another mobo to determine if its the cpu at fault or another cpu in your mobo to see if its the that, that is if you can.

Graphics Configuration...:wtf:

How are you missing this?

Hes not missing it. Its not showing up for him. Something is wrong with his BIOS and its not flashing correctly.



As far as flashing it I was reading the Asus boards and some recomend flash it twice if its not working right to be sure but each time do the C-MOS clear for 10seconds.
0801
0906
1015
1205

One other thing check the marking on the board itself. Make sure its matches up P8Z77-V (Rev#) just in-case.

Were those not pics he took of his own BIOS? :confused:
 
Xzibit said:
Yes.

He only has 1 option showing when it should look like the picture Ace80 posted

Well Ace80's pic is what happens when you click Graphics Configuration.

Point still stands, the pics the OP posted clearly shows he has the right options showing up in his BIOS to configure the iGPU.

If he clicked Graphics Configuration and it didn't show up like Ace80's pic then there is a problem.

You might want to look at his picture again. Here and compare to Ace80

Yes but the 2nd set of pics he posted clearly showed the Graphics Configuration. You can't compare it to Ace80's pic because that is the Sub Menu for Graphics Configuration. 1 click further than Abdo's pics.
 
Guys, i downgraded to the stock bios and, the missing options showed up, finaly, but there is something else when I enabled the iGPU multi monitor and connected the vga cable to the motherboard, the picture didn't appear and no intel igpu was showing in the device manager either, so I'll try flashing it to a newer bios version and will check what happens, and a big thank you for everyone helped me so far, much appreciated :), especialy you Xzibit ;).
 
Glad your getting there. Remember to install the intel graphics drivers, reboot then in bios enable the igpu multi monitor otherwise when you try to install lucid virtue mvp it wont recognise youve got it.

You might wanna reinstall the chipset drivers too.
 
I gave up guys, it wont work, something is faulty, the missing options will only show up when I downgrade to the stock bios version 0604 that came in the CD

120104053245.jpg


but the picture still wont showup, and as you can see there is something wrong with the iGPU frequency, it's not recognizable, I enabled the iGPU multi-monitor anyway, booted to windows and there is was no intel GPU in the device manger, I tried to install the i GPU drivers and this message appears every time

I said to my self maybe upgrading to a newer version of the bios will solve the problem, but whenever I try to upgrade to a newer one the options vanishes as they were before,

I think this is a dead end and there is no solution, I may try one last time on the asus board, but anyway I want to say thank you very much guys for trying to help me, and for giving me the advices, again much appreciated ;),

My PC is working great, I wont let one little missing feature upsetting me :).

Very strange. I set all mine up with the 6950 as the main display so have not yet actually plugged into the onboard. Wish i had an Ivybridge to see if i would have same problems.
I take it all other options in bios have been left at default settings whenever you last cleared cmos?

Yes, also I removed the cooler master evo then the cpu to check if there is any pent pins on the socket, luckily there isn't any, all the pins are normal and the cpu seated on them perfectly,

some one on the asus board suggested buying a new bios chip for 15$ because it maybe a corrupted flash that caused this issue, but I don't think so cause as I've said before everything else works great with no problem, I tried unigine heaven and the average frames were 47-48 on the highest settings 1080P res, there was no crashing or hang-ups and the cpu staid cool 38ْ-40ْ on full load this is ok right?

You have a 670. Your not really missing out on the iGPU. I get you want to use all the features availlable but your not really gonna get alot of use out of the iGPU anyway. If you wanted to use the features of the iGPU with your 670 you would have to use the Virtu Lucidlogix software that is pretty useless from what I have read.

If you got the iGPU working you would just start all over again fighting with the Lucid software.

Could be a corrupted bios but if your happy with the way everything else is performing i wouldnt bother. As instg8r said your not missing out on much with a 670.
The lucid software works fine for me and its breathed new life into my 6950, i avg 5-10 fps more in most games i play now. Only thing i dont enable is Virtual Vsync, thats a bit hit and miss.
Yeah those temps are fine, i take it your running stock clocks on the cpu?

yes they are stock clocks, whenever I try to overclock the ram frequency gets reduced, can you tell me what to do to achieve 4.0+ without changing the voltages?

and I was thinking of RMA-ing the board but now I won't bother it's grate as it is.

Set the multiplier at 40. Leave everything else as it is.
 
Omg :mad:, I think the overclocking options are missing also, there is no turbo ratio, multipiller, anything

61346633.jpg


this is too much, I haven't noticed it until now :banghead:, what should I do?
RMA ing the MoBo or the CPU? or should I return the MoBo to Amazon? I found out the my return window will close in august 3th, so I'm good to go, again what should I do?

Just RMA the board. So you can get what you paid for.

Hmm thats odd Mine just recently did the EXACT same thing..:wtf:.
 
have you tried to boot with just the iGPU and not the 670? Be sure you have a monitor connected.
 
Abdo shniba said:
Did you managed to solve this problem? if so, how?
Click to expand...

Nope I fought with it for awhile. Cleared the BIOS, flashed the BIOS, re-seated the CPU.

Only thing left that I can think of is to pull the battery and wipe the BIOS right out. But that is a big job on the Sabertooth. I need to take the entire PC apart take out the motherboard and take off the Thermal Armor to get at the damn battery...

It's running fine at stock for now. I'm not really using it that much anyway. I will eventually attack it again soon I'm sure.
