Hi guys
I have a Gigabyte EP45t-ud3lr Motherboard (P45 chipset) with 8 MB of DDR3 1333. The CPU is a quad core 9650 so most of my gear is dated (3-4 years).
I bought a new GTX 670 and my PC won't boot with this installed. When I return to my GTX 285 it's fine. (I also tried DDR 1600 RAM which it is supposed to run on this board with no luck - but that's another problem).
My PSU is a quality Seasonic 650w unit (model SS-650 HT) so I'm assuming power should not be the issue with the graphics card? I've got 3 hard drives, two DVD burners, a large CPU fan ans 2 other cooling fans.
I've checked the seating of power plugs on the 670 and although the 8 pin is tight it seems to seat with pressure. I've updated my BIOS to the latest (F10) but can't think of anything else I can try. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers and thanks
