Hi, just returned a Radeon 7870 and received a replacement a few days later (Thanks Amazon) and I'm having exactly the same problem. I bought this card to replace a dying GTX 295. However, once I install the card, during the boot sequence, the computer will repeatedly reboot right before the Windows splash screen. I'm running this on an EVGA x58 SLI motherboard. EVGA tech support thought it was an existing driver conflict so we tried to boot into safe mode to remove the old drivers, but I could not do so without first putting in the old card (it still works with text and basic windows at low res.) Swapped cards, removed all references to Nvidia from the drive, and still get the same problem.
What are the odds I received 2 bad Radeon 7870 cards in a row?? Or is it possible this card just isn't compatible with the EVGA x58 MB (their tech support said it should be.) I'm tempted to just return this 2nd one and get a 660ti instead.
Any thoughts?
