I'm worried now that my sunflower 650w and 290 will pack up. This thread just makes me paranoid lol. I'm going to thrash my 290 this weekend. If it survives then its a good one, if not at least I can return it under the 14 or whatever day return thing.

Maybe, i had the cpu power response time at very high so maybe that was conflicting. Not sure tbh, i did lower all voltages will need to spend some more time trying to figure out what was causing it. Since i changed to 5ghz, it's been fine.
Haha relax, my issue is looking like PEBKAC.

There are Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780Ti GHz Editions for sale in B Grade @ £419. Bit of a bargain if you're okay with B Grade.
The way mpogleys luck is he should stick to full warranty cards imo
But yes those are a nice price

Cmos cleared everything re-set and the same. If I boot of the internal GPU with the 290 installed it is not recognised as there by either the Bios or windows device manager.
Tried it in a different PC and have the same problem.
Installed my old 7970 into my PC and it boots and is recognised fine.
Conclusion the Tri-x has died whilst reading these forums for no reason.

Didn't Moog have three faulty 780TI's as well? Moog whatever you do, get a brand new card lol.

I've been getting this issue with the 290 Pro since I've changed from the 780 where my monitor won't wake from sleep correctly (This is the monitor in sleep not the system). It wakes and appears to be getting a signal, but it is only displaying a black screen. I'm using the latest beta drivers and have only had this issue since having the card.
Any ideas?
It seems my nice tri-x has just given up on me. Just browsing the forum and the screen went into standby. Restarted the PC and the screen will not come out of standby. Plugged into the onboard GPU and all is fine.
Anyone any ideas before I throw it out the window....
It's not just you Moog, I get it as well. Matt confirms he has the same issue sometimes as well and it's a known issue.
I've just disabled monitor standby in the meantime. Waking from full system sleep works fine. It's only when the monitor goes to sleep and the system stays active that has the wake issues.

Really?
It may have been a couple of 780's, can't remember i just remember him posting about it.
I think his gpu has actually died Nocky, not the monitor sleep bug we sometimes get.

That suck's. You sure do have some bad luck.

return it for another tri-x
should be fine then,if not then go NVidia
the monitor sleep bug is probably mb bios or memory setting related

I had an EVGA 780 that arrived with no thermal pads on the ram or VRM, EVGA sent them and then the card died. Replaced with another that was DOA.
I had a free upgrade to a 780Ti which kept throttling itself, This was swapped for another which worked perfect. Stupidly I thought it was overkill so sold it and looked into the 290 again.
Should have just kept the Ti.....

Yeah it's dead as a dodo. Nothing from cold boot on two machines. Old 7970 works fine.
I'm going to ponder what to do I might try another. It was a superb card until it died.
Caporegime
I would try another

Looks like no matter where you go, you get faulty cards Lol.
I'd give it another bash and if not then maybe try something else. You seemed very happy with it until it died.
