Hi everyone,
I am on my third Graphics card in 9 months. I keep on losing graphics cards for an unknown reason. Needless to say, the supplier is getting fed up with the returns. I was told to test my motherboard and power supply to see if it is causing this problem, so I went to the motherboard supplier and one of their experts assured me that a motherboard "can not kill a graphics card"
I went to 3 different suppliers to have the power supply tested, but no luck. Either they do not have the equipment, or it is broken or they just do not want to help.
Is there some application that can monitor the power the card receives from the power supply to see if there are any fluctuations or problems?
Unfortunately I have never received feedback from supplier or Manufacturer about the diagnostics of the previously returned cards.
System: (Detailing PSU as it is the possible problem)
Intel DX79T0 Lga 2011
Core i7 Lga 2011
Kingston HyperX Predator Ram 1866 (4 x 4gb) - (only running at 1600 as Mb only supports 1600)
Gigabyte R9 290X OC (Not being overclocked)
Power supply Antec High Current Gamer 900 w HCG -900 (with full industrial protection suite : - Over current protection (OCP)
- Over voltage protection (OVP)
- Short circuit protection (SCP)
- Over power protection (OPP)
- Over temperature protection (OTP))
