Strix 1070 causes Error 62

[StoneCold52]

I replaced my gtx 670 with the 1070. My computer now won't boot. It goes to the bios screen and freezes giving an error 62 installation PCH runtime services. Everything is the same & it runs with the 660. 850 watt PSU is fine and 660 actually draws more power. I've checked forums, manufacturers sites & online. Help!!

Hi StoneCold52

Welcome to the ROG forum.

What windows version are you using and did you do a windows UEFI install ?

Can you try the ROG Strix 1070 in another pc ?

[StoneCold52]

Windows 10 already installed. The 1070 was the only change. I don't have access to another pc to test. Everything worked when my 660 was in. Power supply is the corsair 850. Cables connected.

In the bios on the boot tab try disabling CSM and set secure boot to "Other Os".

Does this get you to boot ?

[StoneCold52]

I can't get past the splash screen. No response to open up bios settings. This is really frustrating.

Just to give a more complete picture, I built this almost 5 years ago and it ran perfectly until I replaced my 670 with the 1070. Here's the setup:

Intel Core i7-3770 Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance Blue 16 GB DDR3 SDRAM Dual Channel Memory Kit 1.5V

OCZ Vertex 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) VTX3-25SAT3-120G

Cooler Master Silent Pro M - 850W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Bronze Certification and Semi-Modular Cables

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Blue Edition - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectX 11 GTX670-DC2-2GD5 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card replaced with:

ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 8GB ROG STRIX OC Edition Graphic Card STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING

This setup ran perfectly until I put in the 1070. As I said, now it won't boot, I get the 62 error code and I can't even get into the bios config. HELP

Have you cleared the cmos, I know nothing about the Gigabyte boards.

Maybe a bios update will get you going, do you have the latest bios ?

[StoneCold52]

I haven't yet, its next on my to do list. Gigabyte doesn't make it very easy to get a bios update. I'm going to keep looking. I think what bothers me is that the build has been bulletproof for almost 5 years. I come up with $400+ and it doesn't work. I researched it due to reviews regarding compatibility concerns & went with the asus card over gigabyte. I'm not saying anything is wrong with the card, it's just frustrating to take a working system and turn it into a doorstop with a quality product. Thanks and I'll keep trying.

Let us know if the latest bios gets you going, it shouldn't be difficult to update it.

[StoneCold52]

You wouldn't think they would make it hard, but Gigabyte's web site is confusing. That's a good part of the reason I bought the Asus card. Thanks & I'll keep you posted (pun intended).
