CPU:Intel 4670k No overclock
GPU:Gigabyte 770 2GB
MOBO(Original):Asrock Extreme 4
MOBO(new):Asus Maximus VI Hero
PSU: Raidmax RX-850AE
I built my computer back in September. And in October I got this odd crash, where my computer would not boot back up normally. So I booted into safe mode, no issue, tried to boot normally, and it would go to the windows loading screen and crash.
So I tried booting without my GPU, and the computer booted fine. After an RMA of my 770(and using my friends 7870 while it RMA'd) I plugged my recently returned GPU back into my mobo to try and boot. The issue continued to happen.
Perplexed, I tested my GPU in other builds. They booted fine. I had also been using my friends card in my build without issue.
I then went on to test my GPU and PSU in "identical" builds, where the other build ran fine, even under heavy stress.
At this point I was convinced that the issue was my Mobo, so I transferred my system(RAM, PSU, GPU, CPU, HDD's, and disk drive) to the new motherboard. Low and behold, after installing my system onto a new Mobo the crash still happens any time I try to use my GPU in the build. But the friends 7870 runs no issue.
I am presently lost as to what could be causing the issue. The last component I can think of would be the CPU, but that doesn't explain why one PCI 3 card will run, and the other will not. Does anyone have any idea what is going on, and if it would be worth the time to try and RMA my CPU?
