Intel a770 computer lockup

[Spitty]

Recently bought a Intel arc a770 initially installed arc control. Then got computer lockups where I couldnt do anything apart from move mouse.

Did a full ddu uninstall to wipe the drivers. Then only installed the latest driver itself. Computer seemed to work for 5 mins then locked up. Messed around with it for an hour. Then gave up on everything.

Not overly happy with the driver issues and that my GPU arrived with scratches all over it aswell

Hello Spitty,  

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I am sorry to know that you are having issues with your Intel® Arc™ A770 Graphics.   

In order to better assist you, please provide the following: 

1. What is the brand and model name of your motherboard?

3. Was the computer working before with teh Arc GPU? Or, is the issue present out of the box?

4. Are you getting any errors or a blue screen of death?

5. Do you get any beep code or LED code from the motherboard when the issue occurs?

6. Is the issue present in the BIOS?

7. Have you checked the scratches problem with the place of purchase?

Hi there,

1. motherboard is a MSI Mortar Max B450

2. bios version is 7B89v2J2

3. problems have persisted straight out of the box, as soon as i tried to install any software or drivers for the gpu. it started locking up.

4. im not getting anything, just computer locking up and can only move mouse around but not click on anything.

5. i do not get any codes on my motherboard when this happens.

6. i could get into the bios fine with. its when im loading into windows and the driver loads that i have issues.

7. no, as the box was sealed and inside of another shipping box, so scratches must of come from factory.

Hello Spitty, 

Thanks for your response. Based on your issue, please try the following:

1. Check with MSI to confirm the steps to install the latest stable BIOS version (7B89v2I) since you are using the BETA version.

2. Try to load the BIOS settings to default.

3. If possible, try a clean install of your operating system
