Hey guys just built my PC tonight...

i5 2500k sandy
titan fenrir
GTX 480
700w PSU
Asus p86p67 mobo with bios 1103


now the problem is that when i boot up, first of all it starts then stops then starts up properly

2nd problem.. there are white flickering all over the screen as soon as it starts up properly and says f1 overclock failed, i have turned turbo off and also set the ram to 1600 MHZ and also 1300 to see if it was that.. the DRAM voltage is 1.5.. i have also tried one stick of ram and in different slots

any guesses?

didn't realise there was a 1302 bios out yet, ide be inclined to do a deep cmos clear by moving the jumper, & popping the battery out.
 
Have just done that.. i found out the bios isnt 13 but 1103.. could the lines be caused by the bios?... im thinking the RAM tbh.. although it says in the bios that its running at 1600mhz 1.5v, the packet says it runs at 1.65, although where i brought it from said that corsair had just stuck the wrong labels on
 
yup the lines are all through the bios aswell.. most of the settings are all on auto... and ive also tried setting the cpu manually aswell as the RAM
 
found the problem, its the graphics card, the GTX480...damnit... now do i just RMA it or do i see if once ive installed the drivers and maybe reduce the clock see how it performs?
 
well if it's definatley borked, there's nothing to lose by finishing setting up your new rig & downclocking the card.
