    yeah, that’s the reason I am so desperate … I understand, so maybe about time to look around for a new mobo?
    anyways, I wanted to thank you very much for your time and effort in figuring out and trying to help me, I really do appreciate it very much!

      No problem. I wish I could have provided you with a solution. If you have something like a 14 days free return policy, I’d consider returning it. Otherwise, wait a few days before you start thinking about a new motherboard. Maybe someone with a better idea still replies to you.

      But I can empathize with your situation. I also used to have hardware that was a mess or didn’t work at all. It’s just annoying.

        No worries, at least you tried and I‘m grateful for it.

        One last thing: so you would also go for mobo replacement? In my opinion its uefi/bios and a new mobo should help, but I like having more opinions…

        Thank you again for trying

          It’s likely the mobo. A Ryzen processor and a nvidia 3070 isn’t so uncommon. And you already said you updated the BIOS and put quite an amount of effort in.

          If you can return it or have a friend in need of a mobo… I’d swap it… However, there is still a possibility that someone reads your post on the weekend and happens to know something more. Or you use Linux in a VM from within Windows. That may work, I don’t know you, I wouldn’t do it since I use Linux 99% of the time.

          Only thing I would advise against is hoping the issue will someday get fixed. In many cases it never happens.
