Error code 97 Asus Mobo

[Kitchen Gun (TM)]

Every time i try restarting my W7 64 machine i get no signal, and i don't know if my Mobo is posting. This all started after getting a 144Hz monitor and switched to display port, and it's happening on HDMI, too. GA-Z87X-UD3H spits out code 97 which the manual says is "console output devices connect (ex monitor is lighted)" I have no idea what that means, and it's terrible grammar. It's A0 when it's working properly, I have to cut power to my monitor and PC before being able to get a signal.

That can be for a # of reasons.

Have you checked to ensure the BIOS revision is up to date?

Latest BIOS for that is
F10B [2014/06/12]

i already flashed that version.

leaving the BIOS apparently causes no signal, and i have to power everything off

Then I would have to suggest (my personal experience guess here)
that it could be something else.

I googled this issue and it seems to have plagued pretty much all Gigabyte boards at random, dating back to before their Z87 stuff, all the way up to the current gen stuff. This tells me it just happens to be people with Gigabyte boards; but the real issue for most users is that something else is at fault; BIOS settings (like a voltage dipping too low); poor PSU, faulty RAM or GPU... you name it. Any one of those parts can cause this issue you are seeing.

I heard conductive pin 20 can cause boot problems, I had to move to a longer display port cable and it's a cheap-O brand

No pin-20 continuity, so that's not it.

The same GTX 1060 has been there since my 60Hz monitor years ago with no problems with signal. RAM has never been touched, too.

Overclocked anything? Set ram to xmp? Id still take out cmos and reset just to make sure some setting didnt change

XMP? What's that? should it be off?

If you have it on then at the moment yes it should be turned off until you find out for sure whats wrong go to your boards overclocking section it should be right at the top it auto overclocks your ram to the speed its suppose to function at

If its on all you have to do is turn off save settings then exit bios if that doesnt work then id take the cmos battery out and if that doesnt work try a different monitor to see if that one is bunk

well it's probably too late to refund

machine is not seeing gpu, check slot is not obstructed, possibly gpu, psu or mainboard fault. Is the gpu seated and powered correctly? 6/8 pin power plugged in? check system time and date, battery still good?
