I have just finished building a new system. The system itself seems to be working but I am having issues with the vid card. Parts are as follows:
Corsair 750tx PSU
Core I7 920 (not OC)
6 GB OCZ DDR3 memory
Asus P6T se Mobo
Cooler Master V8 CPU cooler
Cooler Master Sniper Black case
The video card is an Nvidia 6800. It is from my old system until I can get my hands on a 5870. I have ordered up a visiontech 5870 and should have it in a few days. The issues I am having are flickers, and video totally dropping out. I am not sure if it is the card, the mobo or the PSU. I ran GPU-Z and it shows the voltage as -3.3v, but there was a spike right before the video went out of 300+. I don't know if that is an accurate reading or not. Also the temps all show 96c. I swapped PCIe slots and as well as PCIe 6 pin power cables. Still the same. I am not too sure what to try next. The vid card was just working fine on my old system. But if it is shot than no big loss. My concern is there is an issue with the parts I just bought, if so I need to verify which one so I can RMA. The mobo shows the voltages fine with no odd spikes.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thank you
