I got the ASRock Challenger ITX Intel Arc A380 to replace my RTX 2060. I used DDU with Internet disabled to remove the Nvidia drivers and then shut down, swapped to the A380. With all three monitors connected (2xDP, 1xHDMI).
I got just flickering kind of. Had to kill the PC, disconnected all but the main display, the Samsung Odyssey G7 27", which is weird with things connecting and disconnecting, and got the same issue as before. Tried only the HDMI monitor, and still the same. Then only the other DisplayPort monitor, an AOC Q2577W, which worked.
I installed the latest driver (all the software that came in the driver), the gfx_win_101.4369.exe, restarted, and for a bit it was ok, then the image froze, but I could still move the cursor, but no buttons or keys worked, and the Start button or shortcuts in the Taskbar was not responding to the cursor hovering over them, so I had to kill the PC again.
Used DDU again to remove the drivers and software. The assistant thing didn’t get uninstalled though. I tried again with just the driver, no control center, and the same result, so I gave up and used DDU to remove it, then installed the RTX 2060 and then I managed to uninstall the assistant thing too.
Any thoughts on what this might be?
Oh, the system is a Threadripper 2950X with 8x8GB RAM not meant for gaming, but streaming and editing, so not sure if Smart Access Memory or ReBar is a thing I need to think about, but I found nothing like it to turn on in the BIOS, which is fully updated (Gigabyte X399 Aorus Pro).
