Hello,
need advie on build,
i have at present
Coolermaster Storm Scout gamers case + 2 x coolmaster sickle fans
Ezcool 700watt tournado psu
amd phenomtm ii x4 965 black edition
ATI Radeon™ HD 4870 X2
Asus AM3 M4A87TD/USB3
4x4gb DDR3 1333mhz modules (with artic cooling)
250gb western digital sata 3 HDD
2TB Western digital sata 3
1 x dvd-r/w
1 x dvd-rom
win 7 home premium (full licence)
32" HD screen
logiteck laser desktop set
the 4870x2 i think died on me the other week, got a bsd, then wouldnt boot at all, no post, no bleeps, no signal, all the fans were on but nothing, non of the leds on back of card were lit up... they come on for a few seconds then nothing...
took card out, banged in a crappy card and bingo booted up fine,
thinkiing about it i've had a few problem when playing crysis... thought it was because cpu was getting too hot as i was on stock, but changed to a vortex... and it seemed to have fixed the issue... only bsd 1 out of 10 times...
i dont have another psu powerful enough to test card on, (i know the ezcool 700w psu i got is crap), didn't know at time ezcol was a cheap make...
(getting a much better themaltake tough power 875w M) but not till i can afford it....
i did try the 4870x2 in another rig with a cheap generic 450w psu, but the card wouldn't boot because not enough power 3 leds on card came up straight away... thought it would have just booted into windows only had 1 hdd connected as well... but no
any chance it could just be the 750w psu?? heard the Ezcool brand are not 80% as advertised... and is probably only a 500w max..
and have also notice a high pitched noise coming from the psu...... safe to say its staying off until i get the thermaltake... just in case
on testing, i took out the card booted and got 1 long bleep....
thought ok weird, put it back in and took out all of the RAM...
and i got 3 bleeps gap 3 bleeps..... so i thought damn RAM issue right... NO... i took all 4 sticks and tested each one on the other rig i have and works perfectly,
so then i went back and placed each stick back in rig 1 by 1 rebooting every time, same issues, no post no bleeps.... Nothing damn...
so i'm now stuck and not sure if its the psu or the card and ideas????
cheers

Just re-read the OP, My bad! Here is another vote to the PSU being the problem!
