Hi Guys,
Just received my new 7950 today and have just installed it and turnt the PC on. The problem is when I start up it brings me straight to the BIOS screen and says "Boot Failure", with three options:

1. Load Defualts and Boot
2. Load Optimized Defualts and Reboot
3. Enter BIOS

Any help would be appreciated.
Thankyou,
Tom
 
Also with mechainal keyboards is there a certain way to use them within BIOS as my keyboard will not register anything but glows and it is plugged in?

The SATA cables are right between both GPU's so not easy to check but they are connected even though they move about a little, the second GPU fans are spinning so power is going to it.

Could it possibly be the CCC drivers, maybe disconnect the second card and boot up and delete the drivers, put the second card back in and re-install?
I have a Sound card connected in the PCI 1 Slot which from the manual says should still be activated whilst both PCI_E slots are being used?

Sounds like a bios issue not related to boot drive, similar to if you overclock too far with some motherboards and it crashes then bios then on next boot you get default options.

Press 3 to enter the bios, check if your drives are present (if not check cables). Then do a save and exit and hope it boots with no further issues.
 
had this when I got my second 7970 using the same board [albeit the z77x-d3h], you need to update the bios to get it to boot

remove the other card for now and download the latest bios, save to usb stick and use the flash tool from the bios menu then reinstall the card and should be all working ok :)
 
Thankyou guys for the help!
I used another keyboard which seemed to let me scroll in the BIOS, saved and exited and it rebooted fine. CPU overclock settings have now gone back to default but will overclock them again!
