Dead GTX Titan?

[lambchops511]

I just got my GTX Titan.

It won't boot on two motherboards.

Computer 1]
Boots up, shows BIOS screen (e.g., press F10 for BIOS etc...)
Freezes, no keyboard works
Single Beep

Computer 2]
Boots up, goes past initial BIOS screen
"A bootable device has not been detected. Please refer to the Product Guide"

This probably means my GTX Titan is DOA?

What are your system specs for each computer? I had trouble booting on an old Z68 board until I updated the bios for the MB. Try that.

I recently thought my ASrock z77e- itx's pci-e slot was dead. Couldn't boot any videocard. Black screen. A bios flash solved it all. Just a suggestion

What is your power supply?

And when you say you're seeing the bios screens, is the monitor hooked up to the Titan or integrated/onboard GPU?

If you're actually getting a display(even just bios / boot-screens) with the Titan hooked to the monitor, that is a great sign it isn't DOA and the issue lies elsewhere.

EDIT: Also, i don't believe ive ever seen a GPU error contain the words "bootable device", that is usually a HDD/dvd drive or boot order related type of error.
But then again i never owned a Titan either so maybe its just conflicting with other hardware causing the boot error.LOL

Sound like power supply. Did you tests it on two different power supply units?
Ohh... and this seems to be good place to put it:

To me value is multi-gpu setups that work as they should and drivers that are almost without exception well sorted upon a game's release or within a very short time afterward. I'll pay that "premium".

Thanks all. problem fixed. It was the motherboard. The original second test I did was dumb, I forgot to plugin a hard drive.
