I read ppl have been experiencing some issues with the 7870, where it would not boot sometimes and in Starcraft and WoW it just wouldn't run or run glitchy. Is there really any texture glitch with this card? i paid R$1280,00 for 570 (around US$ 700,00, i know, brazil sucks when it comes to...

Corsair TX850. I am sending it back to the store to get the power supply tested. F***

jeez. let it rest for one hour and it turned on just fine i got a corsair 850w (non modular). not sure of the exact number of the power supply. this is very weird!

both are connected. nothing has changed since yesterday, just turned it off and went to bed. tried to turn it on again, now before the GPU switched off, the MOBO gave me 3 beeps. which are indicators of memory problem. Thing is my memory passed 3 times the MemTest86+ so I am still thinking it...

I did not find any other place to post technical issues so I am asking the community through this forum, since my GPU is point out some sort of problem. I got myself a month ago a new pc and one week ago it just would't boot, and by that I mean it wouldn't even get to the MOBO Bios screen. I...

I am running a stress test on mine at 900mhz core clock. good to point out though that my gpu got this fancy heatsink called WindForce 3x which looks just like this: http://img.hexus.net/v2/graphics_cards/nvidia/gigabyte/GTX570SO/CardB.jpg which is very effective, tests showing it being able...

forgot to tell. I might have seen some artifacts over the furry (little bastard) MSI logo. gonna run it again after passing my CPU over stress with Prime95 to check again. If so, what could possibly be affecting GPU stability?

So I got this pretty sexy configuration a month ago and now I am going OVERCLOCKING. i5 2500k @ 3.8ghz (still testing) gtx 570 SOC GeIL enhance corsa 8gb ddr3 1600mhz (9-9-9-28) gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 unft. no SSD 500gb Western Digital sata3 HD Cooler Akasa Venom NZXT Phantom Black Did a tiny...
