Hoping someone can help on here.
I've got an i5-2500k, Gigabyte GTX670OC and Z77-Ud3H mobo. It's been working really well. I upgraded to F17 BIOS a few weeks ago - working even better.
I went to a LAN party this weekend, and it didn't miss a beat all weekend.
Brought it home, plugged it in, no video signal. I have to use onboard gfx or put the card in the second slot in order for it to POST (after which it works ok).
I've no idea what could have caused this as I've not installed anything new this weekend. I was overclocking at 4.7ghz (@ 1.3v) and the GPU is also tweaked using Precision X, but as stated above it's been on most of the weekend and has been working fine (my MW3 skills sadly still the same though). Note I've had the system running stable at this speed for some time, but stepped it down to experiment with a Hackintosh of late.
I'm guessing the following are possible:
- damage to mobo in transit, causing damage to the slot itself
- heat related - ie excessive gaming has caused a dry joint in the slot
- I know that the lanes are controlled by the CPU, so is it possible that these have become damaged after overclocking?
I've tried reseating a number of times, and I've also updated the gfx card BIOS to the F4 version on Gigabyte's website (it won't let me go for the F9 version).
I've rolled back the mobo BIOS to F16 then back to F11 to see if this made a difference, but it's always the same.
Any thoughts?
A friend has a spare GTX290 that I'm going to try in slot one to see if it works ok or not, but if anyone can shed any light on this, that would be great.
I've also raised a ticket with Gigabyte support.
At least the Hazro monitor is still going strong!
Cheers
Sean
