Lots of HD5770 users are getting BSOD due to some "ati2dvag" in an infinite loop. Well, I'm one of them. And not only BSOD, but random crashes, usually before windows is fully loaded (xp 32-bits).
Among the many explanations I've found for the problem, someone mentioned that the 5770 needs 40A from the PSU.
I just bought an Antec CP-850, and according to its manual (http://www.antec.com/pdf/manuals/CP850_Manual_EN.pdf), page 3, I don't see anything getting close to 40A on that table. 30 was the maximum, and under 5V.
I'm kinda lost here, maybe I'm getting it wrong from the manual. Does that really mean that the 5770 won't work with the CP-850?
Or is it just a Catalyst mess?
I'm using the non-modular PCIe connector (the one that cannot be removed from the PSU).
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks
