I recently bought an AMD FX6300 and an ASROCK 960GC-GS FX motherboard and a Sapphire R250 2G video card to build a decent, but inexpensive gaming PC for friend. After a week of extensive testing and errors I have found this MB and CPU while employing a PCIE discreet graphics card are not compatible. Using the on the onboard video the combo works fine, but I have now tested 2 ATI and 1 NVIDIA PCIE cards and have the same result in both Windows 7 and 8. I have used the driver on the included CD, plus the newest stable version as well as the newest beta version all with the same result. I thought the video card was overheating, but that is not the case.
Shortly after Windows boots, sometimes immediately and other times after up to 20 minutes, the video just drops out. The screen goes blank and no video signal is being sent between the video card and the monitor. From what I have read it appears the chipset AMD 760G (I think the "G" stands for Garbage) on the MB is a piece of shit! LOL. This is at stock clock speeds and voltages, with no overclocking.
I have dropped an older AMD Phenom II into this machine and have had zero video issues. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if it is correctable or should I just upgrade to a MB with 990FX chipset and be done. Thank you in advance.
