your PSU only hits the minimum requirement for that card... but i have a gtx570 and am having these issues as well with both 7 and 8 and i have a 600watt psu and intel quadcore. i have read many post from sites and the problem still has no solution :( even people with the 660's are seeing troubles

hello all, i have issues! I had windows 7 ultimate 64x and was having issues with black screen lockups and buzzing that did not leave error codes. when playing games like Crysis 3 they would occur commonly (say every 2-10min). other times it would crash at random when playing media or other...

oh system specs: Q9400 O/C to 3.2 (stable for over a year) 4gb Gskill Ram (857 Stable over a year), H80i CPU cooler, GS600 PSU (2 years old), MB is a xfx 780i, also has PCI wireless, CD burner, and Sd card slots. (listed for power reasons)

hello all, i have a gtx570 (msi version). i recently got crysis 3 and the game crashed over and over. i narrowed it down to my video card. the stock clocks are 988mV (.988v) core clock 732MHz and memory clock 1900MHz. after much research i found many people get crashes due to low voltage. i did...

ok so I had a q6600 overclocked to 3.2ghz in a ABITpro35 mother board. I swapped power supplies and, thinking like a noob, tried PCI-E pin on CPU power plug. The results = sparks all over and blown power supply. I corrected the error and replaced the power supply and it booted to windows with...

cap replacement failed ... got new board off ebay to use for testing to make sure its not processor

waiting on 2 caps (one might be bubbled a little so replacing) doubt it will make a difference but want to wait for part before i move FWD

the board supports the E4400, my bios are the most recent but there only one or two back. I'll have to try the q6600 and do the CPU-Z comparison with factory clock as advised. i might not get to it till Monday tho. guess then ill watch temps and voltage, run prime for a bit and hope somethings...

Ok the voltages in bios are similar to those in windows minus the small v-drop. (.008v) The overclock in the q6600 was stable for a few months before i got the new power supply and messed this all up. As for the E4400 i was told it was working when friend lent it to me. He was confident to...

I am aware of the thermal limit but i still used cheap thermal stuff for testing both cpu’s Next i did reset the Bios for the dual core, that’s what has me worried. The dual core should have been more than ok to boot to windows and it did not make it. Finally i asked what else i can try...

alright, cleared CMOS first. test HDD in another computer and it booted to windows 7 without a problem. so the HDD checks out. Next i risked putting the RAM in my firends comp and found that it works great in his too. So RAM checks out. My Quad core q6600 boots windows but im still scared...

Well the power supply checked out. :) Put it all back together and fired it up on factory settings. Computer locks up at windows loading screen… it starts to load windows 7 and freezes as soon as the colored dots emerge from the black every time. I lowered the clock speed to 1.ghz and it did...

Thank you very much :D , i will assemble tomorrow afternoon. First I will check the power supply as advised. Then I’ll go in with the monitor program and see what information I can see. I have CPUZ already and everything seemed ok although the core voltage has never moved on that even when...

Hello, I recently built my first computer at a friend’s house. During the build I realized my PSU only had a 4 pin and my MOBO had an 8 pin. Instead of doing the research as I should have, I asked him if I should use the 6 pin pci-e plug. :fou: Now that you all are laughing at me for doing...
