Hi All,
Several problem occur when I have my 7900GT slotted in and I would be really grateful for any help.
It powers on for a few seconds then powers off and then powers on again and so on. This continues for around 2-10 cycles before I can get it to boot up properly. It either doesn't reach the graphics card info on boot up, or boots up normally.
I can't change my fsb. If I enable CPU Host Clock control, it fails to boot up properly and resets itself to auto (even on a default fsb). A similar thing happens if I change the PCI-E frequency.
If I ever make it to windows. I get artifacts and flickering during any graphics intensive program and random freezing that it pulls out of in a few seconds.
Recently I've been getting blue screens stating a problem of a graphical nature (I forgot to note it down).
I've just got the card back from an RMA attempt, with a note saying that its not faulty. Same problems occur. All temperatures are normal.
It has passed overnight memtest, prime95 tests.
I have tried the latest bios (F3b), using one stick of ram, latest graphics drivers, replugging everything, different power sockets, and underclocking the card to safe mode. None of these have worked.
None of these problems occur when I have my GeForce 6600 GT slotted in. With that in, I only managed to get to a stable fsb of 350.
Help me, I'm upset.
Edit:
Something new came up.
I had my ipod nano plugged in and I couldn't boot at an fsb of 350 with my GeForce 6600GT slotted in.
