So i built this rig (My first one so i'm assuming most of these problems are due to my screw ups) about two months ago using a mix of hardware from my old rig and hardware i've ordered from Newegg with this rig.
My Setup is:
CPU - I5-3570k non OC
RAM - Corsair 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3
GPU - ATI HD6870 1GB DDR5
SSD - Intel 180gb 330 Series Maple Crest
HDD - Seagate Barracuda ST1000 1TB 7200 RPM
PSU - Corsair HX750
MoBo - Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
etc etc
Anyway my various problems are sometimes the system won't boot, flashing an A2 Error which is IDE Detect which i remedy by unplugging the Graphics cards power supply and just boot from the onboard Intel Graphics and then it goes back to normal for a little bit. When it does this my GPU's fan turns to 100% (really loud) I've tried by putting the graphics card in both PCI-E slots but it gets the same errors. Sometimes the system won't even recognize it.
My other problem is that sometimes it doesn't boot and flashes a 55 Error which is memory not installed to which i reseat the RAM and it works.
Now i've read other threads on here regarding the same problems but the fixes just don't cut it. Should i replace my Graphics card and RAM with new modules since they were the parts i imported from my old rig of 3 years? Or is it the Motherboard at fault? Any help is appreciated, thanks! Also I've had various issues with ATI Drivers and i've ran Driver Sweeper which seems to have helped the issue a little bit but not by much!
