Driver not starting and IGFXND service not being used after updating from 31.0.101.4091?

[OldSkool13]

I have an Intel 12900KS with UHD Graphics 770 and a Sparkle Arc A770 Titan OC 16 GB on an Asus ProArt Z790 Creator MB and after updating the GPU and iGPU from 31.0.101.4091 to anything above this, I get an error message in Device Manager that reads as follows, this is the A770 GPU's last event:

"[Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_56A0&SUBSYS_3937172F&REV_08\6&1cd1c8e&0&00080008 was configured.

on main tab though it says,

DEVICE STATUS: This device is working properly.]"

What is this? Why is the driver or service not starting? Is there a way I can update the GPU's and not have drivers stall or fail to start?

In this test case, I disabled the iGPU, thinking there was some conflict as Im using an Asus ProArt Z790 Creator MB and I saw a conflict with the iGPU and GPU with the Z890 version and it recommended disabling the iGPU. I'm still getting "oemxx.inf" driver not starting error even after disabling. I'm a video editor and I would like to use both iGPU 770 and GPU A770 for different tasks. 

31.0.101.4091 is the latest at the Asus ProArt Z790 Motherboard Drivers page from and it's from 05/24/2023.

Hi, OldSkool13.

Thank you for posting in our Community and for providing detailed information about your setup and the error you're experiencing. Based on what you've shared, it seems like there might be an issue with the way the drivers are interacting with your system, especially when both the Intel iGPU and the Arc A770 GPU are enabled. Possible causes are Driver conflicts, outdated or incompatible drivers, or even driver installation issues.

The error message ("Driver Name: oem51.inf" and the problem status 0xC00000E5) suggests a possible issue with the installation or configuration of the driver package. It might not be installing correctly, which could prevent the GPU from starting.

However, I noticed that the driver you're using (32.0.101.6297) might still have compatibility issues with your motherboard especially since you mentioned that the latest driver on the Asus site is from May 2023. As a first step, I recommend you to update your driver for both GPU and iGPU (Arc A770 & Intel UHD Graphics 770).
