ok heres my build...
MOBO: 890FXA-GD70 latest bios
CPU: AMD 1080T 6 core
VGA: MSI HD 6870
RAM: 8 GB Ripsaw
PSU: Corrsair 1050
ok so this all started with upgrades. i wanted to crossfire 6870's so i bought a second card. installed it in slot 5 booted it up. card showed it was running in at x2 in slot 5. i thought it was the card that i bought cause i bought it at frys and it was a returned item. so i returned the card and picked up a HD 7950. installed it. had a short in it so my comp didnt even boot. installed my original 6870 in slot 5 and showed x2 in CCC. contacted MSI for RMA, got my MOBO RMA's and got it back, installed it, with 6870. card shows x8 on CCC. with GPUZ it shows that the card when installed in slot 1 will only run at x8 when the MOBO says it will run at x16. So i RMA'd my 6870 since MSI support said the MOBO was tested before it left. Got new 6870, installed it. runs at x8. Put it in slot 5, runs at x2 according to both CCC and GPUZ.
i updated video card drivers, flashed my bios, updated CCC. i put it under stress tests to see if it was in power save mode or something. ive read a few things about flashing the GPU bios and updating the south or north bridge but i cant find drivers or anything for them.
i have no ideo what to do at this point. i have an RMA'd MOBO AND VIDEO CARD that just dont seem to work
