I just recently bought an ASRock 990fx Extreme3, FX 8320, Powercolor 7870 myst and some RAM from microcenter. Before I could get my CPU to work correctly I had to flash the BIOS down to a older version. After I did this it seemed fine. I came home from work, system was off and unresponsive so I immediately assume power supply failure. I purchase a new 850 watt, install it and it is still unresponsive. I begin to remove all components to breadboard my system. I get down to CPU, RAM and hard drives and system turns on. I re-install all components and system seems to be running fine. I turn off the system to test a full re-power and NOW the motherboard gives me a 5 beep code (Which I find out is related to the VGA controller). I install my video card into the next PCI slot down (All 3 PCI-E slots are 2.0 16x) and the system boots perfectly fine and runs fine UNTIL I put a load on the video card running any kind of game. The game will run for about 2 minutes before completely freezing my system requiring a restart. Toms Hardware, haaaaalllp
