Hi!
I posted this in another thread but got no reply. So I'll try to put this in a unique thread.
Hi!
I am new to this forum and I read this thread some days ago and wanted to get a problem solved.
I recently bought the Z68XP-UD4 together with the 2600K and also a Corsair SSD 60Gb SATA3 in cash RAID with 1Gb SATA3.
I kept my Corsair TX650W PSU, my 4Gb Corsair CMP4GX3M2C1600C7 memory and my ATi HD 4870 X2.
I started to get problems right from the start actually.
My monitors lost their signal and turned to standby after a minute or two.
This also happened while I was in BIOS menu.
The think the computer also froze as I could not get it to react on keyboard inputs.
Then I took out the ATi HD 4870X2 card and put in a simple ATi HD 5450 and NO PROBLEM with blackout!!!
I started to think.. what the H*LL!?!?!?
After some time I was getting very hungry for some gaming and but in my 4870X2 again and it worked.
...well, at least until I tried to get my memory to run in its XMP 1600 instead of the 1333 that the motherboard wanted. Then the problem was back with screen blackout.
Also if I hooked up another hard drive, same problem.
Trying to overclock the CPU, same problem together with a message on boot that the frequencies caused a problem that made the motherboard switch back to standard.
Overclocking and adding more hard drives with the lesser HD 5450 graphics card produced no problem what so ever. I overclocked to 4.3 GHz and with memory on XMP and no problem at all.
I can't actually not do anything to the BIOS except handling startup disks and using X.H.D!!!
I can't even set the HPET mode to 64 Bit in bios!!!! (I use W7 pro 64 Bit).
The problem seems to be that my new setup can't handle and drive the HD 4870X2 if strained with extra hard drives or even with the slightest overclocking OR XMP profile for the memory.
I tried to run the 2 extra power couplings to the graphic card from a separate PSU but without any luck.
Or is the problem that my 4870X2 has got S-VHS output that actually is a forbidden combination with HDMI that is integrated with the MOBO? There is no way to shut of the onboard GPU!
Or is it that the 4870X2 draws too much power from the mainboard PCI?
Can it be that my Corsair 650W PSU are to weak???
Please try to help me out! :)
