Well ive tried running the PC bare minimul stuff and another perfectly good G card, and power is going thru, everythings getting power but nothing goin thru to the screens, i dno if its the mb aswell but my CPU is missing a pin as i jus noticed =/

Socket AM3 has less pins than Socket AM2+
its not a bug its a future

 

[jigger]

So it wont boot at all now ?

Pull everything so you're left with just the CPU, one stick of RAM and the video card.

No i mean theres actually a pin missing from the CPU not the socket

 

[jigger]

He's saying that the chip is made with pins missing.

 

[chrispduckdunn]

now i mean a pin is actually missing, yo can see were it should be but theres nothing

So why the hell are you moaning about your gpu having probs.
You said you had similar problems with your GTX 295, if pins are missing out of your cpu, then why are you moaning about the same probs with a 5970.
Just get your cpu replaced, then if you have the same problems, you would have a legitimate gripe.

That post that you are quoting, was posted about 2 hrs ago.
It's not rocket science that you should have realised by now the problem is not the gpu, but the cpu.

All you had to say was that, it may well be the cpu, not the gpu.

And i have read the whole thread, which is obviously more than you have done including your own posts.

Was it from a reliable source?

I have posted around 2/3 flame posts EVER from all i've posted here but your reply here is just nasty and unnessesary.

Could you honestly say you know, offhand, how many pins there are in your: Usb connected devices, DVI connector, memory, PCI-e connector on your grapics card?

A dodgy pin on any of these could cause issues. It could be a dodgy driver/update. It could be some malware etc etc. Laying into the guy cos he didn't go "ahhh, blue screen of death, I know, i'll count the pins on my chip/board and make sure they are all there" isn't exactly appropriate is it?

To paraphrase your post: "So after blue screen's on 2 different graphics cards you didnt count the pins on the CPU to make sure they were all there? Moron!"

Give us the combined pin total for:
All usb devices, all memory sticks, the processor, all serial connected devices, all PCI/PCI-e connected devices you have connected. Tell us the number of each you have connected (so we can do the sums too). If you are wrong (even by 1) you're CLEARLY a shambling moron who doesn't know his arse from his elbow

You need to get a little perspective here.

edit: I notice you tend to post with a stick up your *** so i'll not expect too much.
