Crosshair V formula Z as replacement board, works fine without W7 reinstall.

[Logan Adams]

Is there anything I should be worried about? At first it didn't work and would reboot at the loading windows screen while the logo was popping up. Now it runs completely fine though. After trying IDE to start up, then trying AHCI again and it worked fine. I'm wondering if it's my terrible PSU that I'm replacing this week too.

My set up is

Visontek 7970
AMD 8320
Hyper X blu red 4gb x4
Crosshair V Formula Z (switched in from MSI G43 I believe)

Do you have all the mobo drivers loaded? Also run a registry cleaner (Wise has a good free version) to clean that up

I would do a clean install of windows , and yes replace the power supply it's very poor.

Let us know how it goes

I got a corsair AX760 in the end. Though I may have to buy a new windows copy due to it asking me to activate it again and to me not having the original windows packaging and I believe it was an OEM version.

Go ahead and do the reactivation on-line - it will prob give you an error code though it may just reactivate....if you get the error code call the number and follow instructions to punch in the error code, then it will ask how many computers you have this installed on, answer and about 95+ % of the time it will give a new activation code
