Hi guys,
First post here, just so you know I can be a noob with the wires' name and what is compatible with what. I know the minimum but I'm not always right. I'm looking foward to fix my issue with Overclockers' forum. Thanks again.
Like in the title, I recently bought an ASUS GTX560 DCII OC/2DI/1GD5 and I plugged it on my mobo, plugged the 2 PCI-E wires and my computer is rebooting every 3-5 sec.
I know that everything is well plugged because I switched back to my nVidia 8800GT and I'm here now.
Known facts :
- I can see my BIOS menu, so I guess the GC is working?
- My 2 fans are running, so I guess no alimentation problems?
Unknown facts :
- Compatible with my mobo? Or mobo too old?
- PSU enough strong my all my setup ?
- Is the GC fried/defect ? How could I know ?
Here are my specs :
OS Name............: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
Version..............: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
System Model.....: P5K
System Type......: x64-based PC
Processor...........: Intel Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz, 2830 Mhz
BIOS.................: American Megatrends Inc. 1201, 14/10/2008
RAM..................: Kingston 8.00 GB (4x2gGB)
Power supply......: OCZ 700watts
