Hi peeps i wonder if you could give me some idea as to what could of caused the damage to my graphics card,
I only purchased the parts a few days ago from a company and from day one have had nothing but problems.
System Specs
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7
Corsair Dominator GT 6GB 2000MHz Triple Channel Kit
Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 5970
Intel Core i7 920
Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB
Problems started from day one of the build i was getting C1 errors from the MB on boot which point to the ram
Ran memtest and that reported no errors, when i did get the system to boot i would get BSOD IRQ_NOT_LESS_NOT_EQUAl
and when it would run in 3d mode i would get black flickering lines in game i tried diff drivers 10.1 10.3 10.4 and still the same
i also had a BSOD UNHANDLED EXCEPTION.
Reflashed the bios to the latest one from gigabyte still got several C1 errors before getting it to boot i ran bad company 2 and within 2 mins black lines appered and screen went blank, i rebooted the system and all i got was no signal on the monitor tried several times but nothing.
I removed the graphics card and tried it in the second pcie x 16 slot and the the system booted after 5 mins there was a pop and electrical smell and screen went blank again shut the system down removed the graphics card and this was the result.
