First off is no need for wardog to even read past this as its not a psu issue. I will not post all the specs as I have tried many dif parts that are known to function. nuff said
I need some help here please. My problem is I bought a 990FXA UD5 rev 3 board. The first would not [amongst other things] get my Amd 9370 chip running at proper voltages or speeds after the latest bios update was installed. I RMAd the board and with the new one the chip was running at proper speeds. So the real issue with both boards was and still is that I have a GTX 770 evga card and both boards would not get past the first splash screen and then lock up. At first I tried everything other than the card. I replaced the cpu with older cpu from a working working system as well as the ram with known working ram. I tried another PSU. The PSU in the machine is a 1000 watt unit but nothing mattered. It would still lock at the splash. The very last thing I did and Im not sure why it took me so long other than I was getting vid on boot was to pull the Vid card and replace it with a gtx 480 as well as a 460 and a 570 card. All have worked and I have loaded windows 8 running those cards and thats how I found the first board would not run at proper speeds. I have seen there is a issue with compatibility with some 700 series cards and some mobos. I have contacted both evga and gigabyte and both point the finger at each other. I have had the gtx 770 working in 2 other computers so it not the card either its just the 2 together. It looks like I am left holding 2 things that wont work together so I am asking if anyone has a 770 gtx card working in this board and what manufacturer its made by. I have looked around the net and im not alone on this topic. I just would like to get a card I know will work as RMAS cost mt 35 bucks each time. I bought this at newegg and should have bought local. Last time I make that error to save 25 dollars. thanks in advance for any help. Last thing is the 770 is running latest bios and I did the try the card in the other pci slots and lo and behold would post in the pci4x slot but what good is that?
