Is this score a little low for a 7950 at 1100 core clock and 1475 memory clock with +20% PowerTune? It seems like a 7950 at these clocks should be scoring slightly higher. Is the Athlon a bottleneck here?
About a week ago, I overclocked my CPU moderately. I raised the clock speed from the default of 200 MHZ to 210 MHZ. Shortly after, I noticed strange symptoms in games. Despite getting more than 60 FPS in games like Mirror's Edge and Portal, nearly every game I've tested has had brief lapses...
I'm on the second replacement now. This time, I bought a new power supply and motherboard. The artifacts aren't as terrible as usual, but shadows constantly flicker. Also, the 3.3 volt rail is listed at 1.90 volts on the motherboard BIOS. The highest GPU temperature I've seen is 72 degrees...
I don't have a multimeter, but the voltages listed in the BIOS and CPUID HWMonitor seem well within the safe operating range for +3.3V, +12V, and +5V.
edit: I should probably also mention that when my previous GPU was dying, I would frequently get BSODs with divide by zero and double fault...
No, the monitor is connected with a DVI cable.
I've tried using another monitor, but no video displays when the PCI Express GPU (a 5750) is connected.
Also, to clarify what I said earlier, there didn't initially seem to be any artifacts when I first used the replacement graphics card, but...
I just installed the repaired graphics card, and there are no improvements. It might also be worth noting that some icons on the desktop are noticeably more blurrier than others. Also, the voltages listed in my motherboard's BIOS hardware monitor seem normal, so I don't think the power supply is...
Yeah, I've done that. I completely formatted the hard drive (after saving important files to a flash drive), then reinstalled. For the most part, I feel like I could safely rule out driver issues.
I actually meant to ask if there's any way to troubleshoot without testing a different motherboard, RAM, power supply, etc. I can't really afford to buy an entirely new computer, so I need to know which part is defective before purchasing replacements. Has anyone here seen anything similar to...
I've been having some weird texture problems with my XFX 4770. I was recently trying to create a custom fan speed profile in ATI Tray Tools, but I didn't click the check box that confirms I want to save the fan settings to the overclocking profile. Shortly after, I started to notice that...
I followed the instructions here from MSI support for flashing BIOS with a USB flash drive: http://us.msi.com/support/images/BIOS_FD.pdf
The computer recognized the BIOS file, but went to a blank screen immediately afterward.
