ocz-700w-stealthxstream issue?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I write from Italy, so I'm sorry for my English.

My PC has a strange behavior: it starts only in safe mode and when I connect the VGA with separate power supply, the screen goes black.

I changed the VGA was thinking that, but nothing happens, even with the new board all the same!

So I'm thinking that maybe the problem might be the power supply, it can be? In fact, putting a VGA without power, everything works fine, just attack the most powerful VGA: black screen.

 

Thanks all

Yes, that could be a power supply issue.

 

Safe mode start only - sounds like it could be a corrupted hardware driver or corrupted OS (possibly caused by a failing power supply - damage to hard drive)

 

Black screen when installing GPU - since you tried other GPUs with the same result it could be a failing power supply, debris in the PCI(e) slot or a motherboard problem.

 

Complete list of hardware specs would be helpful.

Thanks for your reply.

My pc:

Case CM690

Asus M4A78

AMD Phenom II X4 940BE

HDWD CAVIAR BLUE 640GB

SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO with OS Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

Gigabyte GV-R7870 OC 2GD

4GB ram PC8500 1066-

IIYAMA ProLite B2712HDS

Razer DeathAdder

 

Recently I added the SSD 850 and the problems arrived. Maybe is a conflict between SSD and other hardware, like MB?

Thanks

Here are the three steps that I would recommend;

 

1. Check your motherboard BIOS revision level.  If you aren't running the latest BIOS, flash to the latest

2. Move your video card to the another PCIe slot (i'm fairly certain that your motherboard has two PCIe x16 slots)

3. Try a another power supply and see if the issue is resolved

4. Remove the 850 SSD and reinstall Windows on the hdd you were using before upgrading to the 850 and see if issue is resolved

Hi guys,

thanks all for your advices.

At the end I found that the MB was faulty.

So I had to change MB+CPU+RAM.

My new configuration will be:

- MB = Msi 970 game

- CPU = AMD FX 8320

- RAM = 8 Gb DDR3 1866 MHz Patriot Viper

 

What do you think about it? Is it ok for a medium gamer like me?

 

Thanks all
