 New PSU and No Joy
Hi,
I just installed a PSU that will support the 3870 x 2 video card with the proper PCIe2 8 pin and 6 pin power connections and now I am stuck using default bios settings and locking up on anything that uses 3d.
Problem 1 :
Vid card ran fine but locked on 2 x 6 pin PCIE, COD4 ran great too. Now its unlocked, default clocks and keeps locking up on 3dmark and cod4, to the point that a hard reboot is required. I have installed latest ati drivers but rolled them back 1 level after nothing changed.
Problem 2 :
The Bios. The Asus Blitz edition like many boards allows change of settings, save and exit then the machine shuts down, reboots and your new settings are applied.
With this PSU it shuts down and when the reboot sequence starts it pulses power for a second and then shuts down, refuses to fire up until I press clear bios reset. This keeps me running only default settings, LAME.
Frustrated.
PSU
ToughPower ATX 12v 2.2 and ESP 12v 2.91 1200w
Mobo
Asus Blitz Edition
Video Card
ATI 3870 x 2
