Hello,

This is my first time consulting a forum for guidance. My issue is that when I boot up BIOS to enable the onboard graphics (for the Rift) and attempt to run my PC I get stuck in a loop off the PC turning on and off.

Specs:
OS: Windows 10 Pro
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700k @ 4.20GHz
RAM: 8.00GB Single-Channel Unknown @ 1066MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z270X-Ultra Gaming-CF
Graphics: 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (EVGA)
Storage: 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-00WN4A0 (SATA)
465GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB (SSD)
Opt. Drives: None
Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio

Thanks for your time and have a happy new year!

Have you tried clearing the CMOS (unplug the power cord and remove the CMOS battery for a minute) and then enabling it? Test also with graphics card removed and then power off and reinstall the card.
