Hello Toms forum,
So here is my issue, its had myself and my friends scratching our heads and I'm not sure we are pointing the finger at the right component.
-I recently decided to upgrade from my XFX Radeon HD 6950 DD to a new MSI GTX 760 so i did so and up till the point I took my GPU out of my motherboard everything was fine minus a few BF4 crashes(regular thing so i didn't think anything of it).
-Once I took it out and put in my new 760 and hooked it up it started fine, ran BF4 and crashed nearly instantly on recommended settings. So i drop them down, once again crash under any type of load. So i think it may be an issue with mobo/cpu.
-I swap my friiends ASUS M4A87TD with a Phenom II 965 from my own personal MSI 970a-g46 with another identical processor as that. Got it to bring up picture of where it was going to load MSI bios and it stops with a _ command line and b4 in bottom left(Not sure what this is, it went A1, A2, B2, then stuck on B4. Any light on this would be awesome too)
- I think maybe its a CPU issue, so i swap the two processors from each board. Still no avail but now no signal at all to monitor. At this point i called it GPU was DOA, so i send it home with a fellow CS major who puts it in his rig where he has the exact card but ASUS(referring to the GTX760). Card doesn't load.
So as I sit and wait for my card, Does any of this issue seem to sound like any other component? All comments appreciated
