Help with power supply for amd 6970 hd

[ilysaml]

for God's sake concentrate with me... when you turn on the PC do you get the MOBO logo and you go into windows environment ? or you see a black screen ?
if you see a black screen you have a problem then. if you go to windows but the HD 6970 is identified as a standard VGA adapter, you're fine and you have a simple problem which is the driver installation.

I'm pretty sure he can get into Windows because he's reading off the devices list.And you can't tell all that stuff if your not within Windows.

 

[ilysaml]

yes that's a pretty genius assumption if it's his own PC, i'll let you do the talk.

windows starts no bother, i think is a driver problem as stated above, i'm downloading new version on internet as we speak, also i have problem with secondary hard disc, its there in devise manager but dont come up on my computer, i activated slot in bios but still the same

sata hard disc settings is on ahci mode, maybe thats why secondary hdd dont pop up in my computer? what should it be set to?
primary hard disc is ocz solid state working on 6gbs options is
ide
ahci
raid

What motherboard do you have?

 

[purple stain]

ACHI is the mode you want.IDE mode is what you don't want.
Make sure that in the BIOS the SSD is using a ACHI SATA(sometimes the mobo will run ACHI and a couple IDE).

gpu is working fine now, thanks lads , new drivers done the trick, only thing is to get that secondary hdd going and we all set to go

 

[purple stain]

lol.All you needed to do was install the drivers.That's the first thing you should always do when installing something new.

mobo is asus p8p67 pro rev3, hard disc is western digital 1.5gb, can be found working perfect in device manager, i changed that to raid to try it and it said its instaled and ready to use, but still not there when you open my computer

i know, silly me, but then again i'm working as a stone mason, and that build was a bit of a challenge to me, i'm well pleased with the computer done that windows rating where it rates from 1-7.9 and all came in at 7.9 apart from first line that was 7.8

should there be jumper on that secondary hdd? its in windows and bios but not on my computer window

 

[purple stain]

Your using Windows 7 right?

Try downloading this and see if it works.Click the Microsoft Fix it button in the middle of the page.

SATA doesn't use jumpers.And you shouldn't run them in a RAID configuration.

ssd is running on marvell sata 6gbs connection, on the manual says: for data drives only atapi device is not suported
secondary hdd is running on normal 6gbs port but its only 7200rpm should i plug it in to 3gbs port?

 

[purple stain]

Yah why don't you try that.

Usually SATA III and SATA II devices are backwards compatible but it might be different with yours.

got it sorted all it needed is to asighn letter and format it, last problem is i have same problem with internal card reader, its there in the windows and bios but not in my computer window
