My PC has been working for over a year, then the other day it just showed a black screen and the MB Q-code said b2 (legacy option rom initialization). I did the usual checks and everything was connected properly and restarted a couple of times. After trying all the basics I started taking out components to see if one was bad. When I disconnected the GPU and just used the iGPU it worked. I thought maybe GPU or Pcie slot was bad. I then tried a different GPU and it worked. I updated the MB bios and installed a fresh copy of Windows 10, GPU still didn't work, the fans spin like its working but still got a black screen and the MB Q-code said b2. I uninstalled the driver for the GPU and reinstalled newest driver still didn't work. After days of reading forums and guides I think the vbios is corrupt but I cant get it to boot with that GPU. I have tried uninstalling the diver and forcing it to use the IGPU, safe mode, bootable USB but if I have the GPU in I cant do anything. I did some mining with it back when it was profitable and I modded the GPU vbios but like I said it has been working for a long time since then. I'm out of ideas and would appreciate any help or ideas.
Thanks

MB ROG MAXIMUS VIII RANGER
