I have recently built a new PC -
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz(1066FSB)
Ram - G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PQ PC2-8000C5 (2x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ)
Graphics - HIS ATI Radeon HD 3870 XT ICEQ3 TURBO 512MB GDDR4 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express)
Power Supply - Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
OS - Vista Ultimate
The installation went well, however after about 10mins of being on the pc i get a "no input signal" on my monitor, everything is still running Graphics card is still on etc, at first i though the graphics card was faulty, so i tried my BFG 8800gts oc2 card and that seemed to worked fine, so i took my graphics card back to overclockers they did there tests and gave me a new graphics card, in the mean time while the card was being tested my BFG card suddenly started with the same problem, so now im thinking it cant be the graphics. Maybe its the PCI port failing on the mobo, so i take it back to overclockers and expalin to them whats happening and they say there will do tests, a week later i get my mobo back with NO FAULTS FOUND. I built the system back up with my new graphics card replacement now it lasts for around 30mins before no signal input
The system isnt under any load when i get to no signal input
so my question is does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the problem and anyway of testing the system to eliminate the problem, im going to try memtest that some guy recommended to me to try.
i have tried using just 2gig of ram at a time and in the different ports on the mobo but still get the same problem so i dont think its the ram, but i could be wrong
also i was under the impression that the PSU was more than enough for my system but could it be that?
Thanks in advance,
Kev
