New GPU - low fps with low gpu/cpu usage!

Some more info here:

In the bios with gpu in:
cpu frequency 800mhz (roughly)
BCLK100mhz
temp 23
voltage 0.828 V

Without the gpu

cpu frequency 3701mhz (roughly)
BCLK100mhz
temp 31
voltage 1.128 V

Does this tell us something about the power being supplied?

Humour me here guys, as i don't know if it would work one way but not the other:

Is it possible OP could have mixed up the PCIE 8 pin and the MOBO/CPU 8 pin connectors, not sure whether it would work one way and not the other?

Sort of clutching at straws here.

There are two PCIE connectors and one CPU connector all labelled - I've connected them the way they are labelled - is it worth trying to swap them around?

Not if the cables are hard wired into the psu.

Try a program called rmclock by googling rmclock, and use it in windows to set the ratio from x8 to x16 to see if the MHz changes to 1600mhz.

I cant get rmclock to work properly - it doesn't recognise my cpu. It knows its Intel, but 'unkown model' :(

As you've been in and out of the case a few times swapping the card in and out etc, double check you haven't knocked anything loose. I'd probably go all out and physically remove and replug things, rather than just give them a wiggle/push them back in.

And try resetting the CMOS.

I'd probably pull the power out the back of the CPU, disconnect everything, remove the mobo battery, go and have smoke, a NCoT, chill for a bit then put it all back together bit by bit.

Thanks - going to sleep on it, and try again fresh tomorrow. Thanks for all the help!

The PSU is quite new??

A CPU rarely dies - either the motherboard has gone,or the PSU has a fault.

It makes me wonder whether the PSU has a fault - the VS series are not that brilliant as PSUs go IMHO,and it probably didn't help you used a cheapo no-brand one before you bought the new card and PSU.

Edit!!

As I mentioned before:
" Unplug the system and remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes,put it back in and then see if the system reboots."

OK, so an update if any of you still care - I wouldn't blame you if you don't, I know I'm completely fed up with this!!!!

It's NOT the psu! I managed to bring it back to life with a bios reset, big relief! So I bought another psu, Corsair CX 750M, I know some of you said that they aren't the best, but it was all that was in stock at the local Maplin that I could afford. Anyway, no change, the cpu still being throttled with the gpu in!

I suppose it narrows it down to being a bios setting, or more likely, something to do with the motherboard itself?

The Corsair CXM(white label ones) are solid PSUs,so that is why I suggested the 450W one!! :p

OK,did you search for Hyper V and find the following box??

If it comes up,you should untick Hyper V.

The fact you have no power settings when you looked last time is not normal.

You're still there! Thanks so much! :) I was quite close to giving up.

OK, so I've found that list. The first two are there, but the next two are missing:
Active directory lightweight etc etc
Hyper-V
 
I couldn't find a phone number for gigabyte - so i have raised a support ticket.

Switched off EIST and C1E

Package Power Limit1 -TDP (Watts) Auto 51
Package Power Limit2 (Watts) Auto 51

Core Current Limit(Amps) Auto 120

Anyway thought of dropping Gigabyte CS a line and seeing what they might say?? The PSU and GPU are not the issue for sure now.

Try switching off EIST and C1E in the BIOS.

Is there also a thermal limit tab in the BIOS?? Make sure its not set at under 65W(or set it to 65W manually if you can).

I have found a setting in bios where I could increase the CPU Vcore. At the moment it is 0.830v - when the gpu was not in it was 1.128. Is it a good idea to change this?
