Well, I give up. I cannot figure it out. 🙁


My earlier thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2465334/thought-gpu.html

I bought this on Craigs a year & half ago.

AMD FX 8350 @ 4.0 / Liquid Cooled (Upgraded from FX 6200 in November.)

EVGA GTX 560 1GB (Downgrading from EVGA GTX 680 2GB, its more unstable)

16gb G.Skillz Sniper ram (8gb I changed out 8gb when a bsod happened. Testing purposes.)

256gb Intel SSD (OS loaded & updated w/ all drivers updated. Yes, all drivers from Video to Sound. A forum first apparently.)
1.0 TB WD Black (Offline, for testing)
500gb Seagate Barracuda (Offline, for testing)

*** SeaSonic 620w 80 bronze rated

Windows 7, freshly installed fully updated. 64 bit.



I am getting BSODs w/ both video cards. In both slots, 16x and the 2x. I am getting random power failures, one at 2am, and another at 3am overnight. However I am able to game and do anything else I want, but rebooting with either card, and the GTX 680 are quite a headache. (The GTX 680 will cause adapter failures/resets in Nvidia control panel.)

I think I have eliminated, RAM, my HD's, and quite honestly my Graphics cards, the problem is less severe on the 560 but still something wrong.

Mobo or Psu, I know its one and I want to get this fixed tonight/tomorrow as soon as I can.

bsods continue with 560 in 16x slot. Moving to 2x slot to confirm slot is ok.

5:13PM Spent hours on Arma 3 and Crusader Kings 2, no problems whatsover except a strange freeze that would disconnect my internet, only in Arma 3 though - maybe thats something unrelated. bsods still randomly happening on windows logon.

Booted up on the first try this morning. Going to try to test the PSU with a voltmeter when I get a chance hopefully I can borrow one this afternoon.
 


Thats a negative Sir, I posted it on there about 10 minutes after the original post. I placed some asterisks.

SeaSonic 620 80 Bronze - I have trouble SEEING the PSU, its walled off in a corner, the screen was covered in dust but the fan looked pretty clean.
