Apologies firstly, i have lost my old forum login details so i created another account. I bought an OC computer some years back and over the weekend i decided to switch out my Radeon 5850 Series to a Radeon 7950, which i thought may be easy enough....
Anyhow, said installation has encountered a serious problem, which hopefully you guys can help me with. Every time i load the computer, i get to the windows screen and within a few seconds the computer switches off. To try and resolve this i first thought it was a driver issue, so i started in Safe mode and reinstalled drivers. Though this did not work
Currently i have entered the BIOS/ Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker -Load Safe Settings, which runs the CPU @ 2.0 GHz, and everything seems to be working fine and windows loads up correctly. I also played BF3 for several hours last night and no crash.
However ideally i would love my CPU to be running at spec, which is 2.80GHz, so is anyone able to help with what i should do in the BIOS?
Other notes
Computer was clocked to 4.00GHz by OC, but i took this down to stock last year as it became unstable (Usually playing BF3...).
Switching the old graphics card back into the PC works fine.
Running BIOS optimal defaults in safe mode works fine too
I have never clocked a PC myself before, so no that confident....
Current Spec
Windows 7 64bit
Intel Core i7 CPU [email protected], 1995 Mhz
Corsair 750W
Gigabye X58A-UD5
Ram 6.00 GB
Radeon 7950
Samsung 250GB SSD (+ other HD for storage)
Thanks in Advance
