Hi everyone,
I've recently put together this gaming rig:
Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB Overclocked Video Card
Intel Core i5 4670K Quad Core LGA 1150 3.4GHz CPU Processor
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile CML8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive/SSD
Thermaltake Frio Universal CPU Cooler
Thermaltake SMART 650W 80Plus Bronze Power Supply
ASUS Z87-PRO Motherboard
Might I start by saying this is a great bang for buck gaming rig and has plenty of room to move for OC'ing. BF4 on ultra looks amazing even on stock.
However, I've come across a two part problem after overclocking it.
Firstly for some reason when I install the GPU and boot, the display shows no signal and boots straight to windows 8. This is frustrating because for me to access the BIOS I have to do a CMOS reset and then I lose my OC settings.
The second part of my problem, is that when I took out my GPU and fiddled with the OC settings in BIOS running off the iGPU, I could hold a stable OC while stress testing. But whenever I find a stable OC and then go and install my GPU I get a boot to windows and then after a minute it BSOD's - and then low and behold, I have to rest my CMOS because I can't get back into the BIOS with my GPU (see problem above).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Pardon me, copied in old part list. Mobo and PSU updated
