GTX 570 & P8p67 Pro

[dfarrall]

Right since setting up my new system a few days ago iv been getting a few problems that seem to relate to my video card.

a lot of people have had problems with this mobo but mines been pretty fine with everthing except this, however i did hear something about problems with the 570 and mobo compatibility in general.
Basically its locking up on random things, even when not under a heavy load and sometimes throwing up a BSOD with the driver to blame.

Every driver on the PC is latest, tried BETA drivers for the 570 with no avail, im pretty much fresh out of ideas.
So is anybody else running the 570 + P8p67 Pro sucessfully?
Any suggestions?

Also probably unrelated, running this card with a sony bravia 32", when using HDMI cable it uses a really weird colour scheme, makes thingy very dark in games but cant figure out at all how to change this. VGA works fine and as usual.
Thanks in advance.

Be interested to hear from any others with this combo too tbh as I'm planning on getting a GTX570 in the near future.

i have this card and motherboard and so far everything is working well, no problems at all.
i bought the ocuk gtx 570 which turns out to be a sparkle grx card if that helps. also did u update the bios?

I got the EVGA version, running latest mobo bios, earlier on today the graphics driver crashed and windows recovered, not had a problem for the rest of the day, however not reset the pc since it happened, thinking it might come back after resseting tomorow.

What PSU are you using?

 

[dfarrall]

TX850 - Should be more than enough juice.

Does the P8p67 Pro have a molex connection for supplying extra power to the GPU card/s
and if yes have you connected it ??

Connection like this one below

There's no molex power connector on the Asus board, but I don't see what that has to do with anything - graphics cards take their power directly from the PSU, not via the motherboard (well aside from the standard draw from the PCI-e socket)

No problem to report today, no BSOD/random freezing ect. I havent changed anything, bit strange. Only problem i had was graphics driver crashing and recovering once again, but i presume this is an nvidia problem.
Fingers crossed.

Yeah and the standard draw for each card is 75W, with 3 cards thats 225W, a not insignificant amount.
