Hi guys
I have a problem with video cards.
all of a sudden the pc lost the display. i turned pc off including main switch and sometimes it came on sometimes not, then it went to never turning screen on.
i switch cards and all is fine for a while then the same happens again to other card.
i switch back to 1st card and all is ok again for a while.
rinse and repeat.
both are ati cards 1x 5970 1x 5870
mother board = asus extreme 2
6 gb ocz ram
i7 730 cpu
psu enermax revolution 85+
all are 1 year old
what do you think i should poke at 1st i was thinking maybe psu .
but its never happened to me before so im at a loss where to start.
unless i strip it all down clean it all and rebuild.
(i have tried changing over power rails going to the card aswell)
thanks in advance
