LONG POST! Please read, I NEED HELP!
So, my system has been running fine for months.. running crossfire 7870's... Over clocked CPU to 4.4ghz, ran it fine for a few weeks, temps never got over 60c on load and gpu's stayed below 46c at stock clocks.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, pc restarts on its own, and wont come back, says it encountered an error... itll show bios screen, attempt to load windows and restart. I had to pull 1 gpu out and I could get to windows... unistall drivers, restart... install drivers, shut down... install 2nd gpu.. and it would boot up fine... but would not register 2 cards being hooked up. And when I did click "Enable Crossfire" in Catalyst, it'd freeze my cpu and I'd have to restart, and run through the steps above, with removing a card... So I did that, left 1 card in, worked great... swapped cards, worked great. Got tired of Xfire issues, so I bought a GTX 770.. and it's wonderful, BUT! I can play BF3 for 2-30 minutes and I get a directx error stating something about "Device hung due to badly formed commands" and I have to restart. I clean sweeped drivers, installed old ones, new ones, beta drivers... same issue. Did it in safe mode too... Didnt fix it, I thought it was just something with the card and BF3 since the 7870 ran without an issue as long as I had 1 card in and not 2.. Well, doing Unigine Heave/Valley benchmarks, the 770 freezes up and or crashes everytime. MSI Kombuster will also cause it to crash if its in full screen. Temps on the 770 max at 53c.
I moved on to maybe it's the motherboard, went out and bought a new one... swapped everything over... SAME ISSUES! So, now I am ruling at Motherboard and Graphics cards.. since Ive tried, 1 XFX 7870 (good), 1 HIS 7870 (Good) and now the 770 which will play other games fine, just not BF3 or do benchmarks...
Could this be my CPU? It's been at stock speeds for 3-4 days now...Im about ready to toss in the towel, send my GTX 770 back, and use that money to buy a FX 6350, new motherboard and new ram and see if the issue persist, but I'd rather not if I dont have too being the 7870s work by themselves, and the 770 plays other games ok...
Anyone got any ideas, I really need some help here! Thanks!!
