Hello there!

My RTX 3060 stopped working on P8Z68 Deluxe.

Since I changed my GTX1060 to my new RTX 3060 the board already presented some incompatibilities, everytime I restarted my PC it didn't boot, I had to remove the battery, clear the CMOS for it to work again.
Then I formated my PC today and the MOBO simply does not boot due to the RTX 3060 being connected on it, I tried a backup board I have for emergencies (GT 630) and it worked fine, even allowing for resets without a problem.

I had this MOBO for many years and never had big problems with it, and considering it will cost A LOT to upgrade since I'll have to change the MOBO, memory sticks and my CPU, I would like to see if there are any options left.

Any help is appreciated!

Maybe due to UEFI settings?
Is there any setting called CSM something?
You know 2nd gen Core has come a long way, surely there could be some weird problems.

I don't know what UEFI means or is, could you explain, maybe knowing what it is I can work with it?
Well, you can consider UEFI a new generation of BIOS and it replaces legacy BIOS.
Older mainboards and hardware are more legacy-BIOS-compatible while newer ones mostly use UEFI.
I think this is probably where it goes wrong.
Try looking for CSM settings. It can help with the compatibility with older hardware. Or the VBIOS of your card simply doesn't work with your board...
I can't remember the exact things in this mainboard, you know it's been a very long time since the time I used this board.
