EuroFight Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Yaayz no blame on AMD's perfect processor If I find AMD's 'perfect processor' is causing any of the issues I'll be sending AMD an invoice for the cost of 1x HD5450, 2x HD5570, 2x4GB RAM, AND the processor.

d6bmg Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Surprisingly, reinstalling the latest version of Catalyst today resolved the 'driver' issue (Although it decided not to yesterday)...just hit 63.5C and the tin can's at 22% fan now Wired. Then was it a case of broken (bricked) driver? Keep us updated about the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Wired. Then was it a case of broken (bricked) driver? Keep us updated about the issue. I'm not sure. I just did a clean install again just in case but nothing changed I suspected a GPU memory issue at first, ran a memory stress test with 0 errors, now I'm monitoring GPU-Z to check for anything strange before crashes, so far nothing...

d6bmg Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 ^^ Using any overclockable part without overclocking is boring! And nowadays most of the companies accept RMA of components, damaged during overclocking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroFight Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Found the resolution, which Dan will be pleased to know had nothing to do with AMD The issue was that the el cheapo PSU I had in my system was not providing clean power to the motherboard, which, being surge protected, cut off power to the system momentarily, causing black screens and BSODs. This has killed 2 GPUs and damaged the processor, and the replacement PSU will take atleast a week to get here, so until then, no gaming for me . So a word of warning to all you budget PC builders, when you're building a budget rig, for gods sake, get a good PSU! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d6bmg Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Replacement PSU? Then I guess you mean bad PSU 'unit', right? Anyway, I'm glad that you have sorted out your problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFight Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Replacement PSU? Then I guess you mean bad PSU 'unit', right? Anyway, I'm glad that you have sorted out your problem. Yeah the power supply unit was unable to provide stable power at above around 200W power draw, so the motherboard cut off the surges coming from the PSU, causing the components to be starved of power and to crash. Should have been obvious but hey, at least it's sorted now (or should be when I get my new PSU ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Replacement PSU? Then I guess you mean bad PSU 'unit', right? Anyway, I'm glad that you have sorted out your problem. PSU unit is a bit redundant. Good clean power is always a must -- never skimp on the PSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
