Hello,
I went to play on my family's 42" TV with my computer. I hooked it up through HDMI and after playing on it for about an hour and a half, I lost video signal. My keyboard and mouse lights turned off (an indication that the computer will not receive anything I type/do). The gpu, the Radeon XFX 5870 1GB, started to spin its fan at what I assume was 100%. It was pumping out tons of air, but this air was not hot. It was cool. So I try to turn the machine off using the buttons on the case (Antec 1200), neither the power or reset button worked. So I turned the computer off using the power supply switch (Corsair HX850w). I power it back on and still had no display, and the gpu still spun at 100%. So I switch the video cable from HDMI to DSub (with DVI adapter). Still no signal. So then I move the machine back downstairs to my computer desk. I switch the 5870 out for my eVGA 8800 GTS 320mb from my other machine. I plug the machine into my monitor, and receive no video still (through DVI).
Here are my specs:
XFX Radeon 5870 1GB
MSi 790FX-GD70
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE
Corsair HX 850w
Corsair H50 push-pull
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
Antec 1200 case
8GB of OCZ DDR3 HPC Reaper 1600 mhz (4x2GB)
The CPU was NOT overclocked when this happened.
The GPU has NEVER been overclocked.
The ram is designed for 1600 mhz and 7-7-7-24 timings. I had it at 1333 mhz and 8-8-8-24 timings.
What is wrong? :/
