hi to all,
i am trying to build a rig in mining frame with 5 gpu's (3* rtx 2080, 2* rtx 2080 ti) for Folding@Home and Gpugrid.net (science reaserch for developing cure for cancer, alzheimer, childhood cancer, vaccins, etc etc etc). but i am having problems to boot into windows. sometimes with luck, sometime without luck.
bios is v1.0c, mainboard rev.1.0 (or v1.1).
cpu is dual socket retail epyc naples 7551
memory 5 RDimms each cpu, ecc-reg, ddr4-2666 (totall of 80gb), but bios sees 72gb (not an issue for me).
my problem: when connecting 1 gpu (rtx 2080 or 2080 ti), then bios boot normally to windows 10, sometimes -
... but somtimes it hangs at B4 bios-code (usb detection). because rtx-cards have usb-c port, i think my bios is hanging at this point.
but also without any reason it can normally boot to windows, i cann't reproduce the error. totally at random.
question 1). how to bypass this error? bios update?
question 2). how to update bios without ipmi? my only connection is usb wifi dongle.
tried to LAUNCH EFI from Bios -->> Boot, but no succes. and the instructions from SM are very vague about updateing bios.
if my story is not clear, plz ask it here.
oh yeah....i have been using these mainboard, dual cpu's and memory for 2 months without any problem, doing BOINC / WCG. connected to vga-port and vga-display.
