Hello, I am having issues with a graphics card which I have just today installed into my system. The card is a 7950hd (HIS IceQ 3gb BOOST Edition) and is partnered with 6GB of RAM, a Biostar TA-970 Motherboard and an FX-6300 at stock speeds.
The issue is that when I start a game the monitor which I have (LG M2250D) displays "No Signal" after a few seconds, if tenth of a second after starting the game. However, this varies with the game which I have. For example BF4 cannot reach past the Singleplayer loading screen; the part after the black screen with the small cursor in the top right of the screen. When reaching this point, the sound lags that is being played through my headphones (like very laggy/frozen) and the monitor displays the message mentioned above.
However in Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 I can reach the main menu, alter any settings, load a game but when choosing my team and spawning in the exact same process occurs. I have no idea of what is going on but I have 2 guesses which I think are not right.
1. The card isn't working (which I hope is not the case), or is overheating causing the computer to shut down (I will monitor the temperatures now).
2. The motherboard is not compatible with the drivers which I am running; I have tried both the most recent AMD drivers for the card and version 13.9.x, yet the problem still persists.
I have all of the necessary drivers installed for each component but I cannot work out what the issue is. I honestly have no idea of what is going on, and I would appreciate it if anyone could give me any insight of resolving the issue.
I know this is a long piece of writing, but thank you for taking the time to at least read through it.
EDIT 2: So I purchased a new power supply, the Corsair CX750M to be exact, yet the problem still persists. I cleaned my GPU die and re-applyed thermal paste, cleaned my CPU for thermal paste and added a fresh batch. This altered the idle temperature of the card from 48 degrees Celsius to around the 30 mark. However, I am still getting the problem which I explained above. As soon as I start Furmark my PC shuts down and I have to hard-reset it as mentioned before. I have no idea what the issue really is. The card was purchased used, so I am starting to think that I bought it broken. Anyone have any insight to the issue?
