GPU's not detected [SOLVED]

[Xardas2014]

Today I had a lightning strike nearby that knocked out the power. Since then only one of 3 cards is detected by the ETH mining software. Windows 10 detects the card normally, but for some unknown reason ETH miners don't detect them :/

I removed the cards and tested each one by one. They all work fine. There is no apparent damage and my power strip didn't trip, so I don't believe there is any damage.

I know Windows gets pissy if not shutdown correctly, but as I said the cards are detected by Windows 10 pro 64bit, fans come on etc. Just can't mine with more than one. Anyone got any ideas?

Maybe your launch .bat didn't save or got corrupted? Happened to me once because the changes were only made in the cache and not made it into the disk.

I'm not sure, but yeah windows does get pissy if it gets shutdown abruptly.

If you can see the cards with different softwares you should be fine.


As useless as it sounds you might want to do a
chkdsk /f /r /x
in cmd and let it run next boot.

Thanks

What fixed it was jumpering the BIOS. Booted back up, set BIOS up like I want it, and booted into Winblows. Everything runs fine now. *shrugs*

Im having some issues where my cards are showing up but not mining. Causing my drivers to crash. Is this what happened to you or? And what did you do exactly to fix?

As stated in my previous post, I used the jumper on the motherboard to clear/reset the BIOS. Look at your motherboard manual for the jumper. 

This should be done UNPOWERED! Turn off the power supply or unplug it, then press and hold the start button to drain power from the capacitors on the mobo. Then move the jumper from it's normal position to the jumpered position, and move it back. Connect the power and boot up, it will take you into the BIOS for you to make adjustments, but be aware it will have reset to factory defaults. If the defaults are what you want anyway, simply exit out and boot normally.

I have had a seriously corrupted BIOS before and also had to remove the motherboard battery and allow the board to completely drain of any residual power.

Sounds good, can you mark thread as "solved" for other people?

My apologies, I thought I had already done that :/

I tried removing the battery and jumping with same issue still coming up. Still only the same 3 PCIE slots work. I have ordered 2 h97 anniversary boards. I hope that this fixes the issue. Will post back next week when boards arrive.
