Upgraded my Nvidia 275 to a 970, and 6GB (3x2gb)[1600mhz] to 12 gb (3x4gb) [1600mhz]
After install it would only POST with memory running at 1066mhz, and only boot (Windows 8.1 of ssd) with a single stick of my original memory (2gb) at 1066mhz.
But if I put my Geforce 275 back in it will boot with all 12gb at 1600mhz.
My PS is rated at 800watts, but is 5 or 6 years only now along with my mother board based on the X58 chipset. Picking all my old parts, plus the new upgrades and fans on pcpartpicker estimated my power usage to 478 watt.
I've had weird issues with USB, onboard audio (outputs nothing but noise), random blue screens (NORMALLY when turning on webcam) for a couple years. I had assumed my motherboard was the culprit, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe it is a power issue. Or maybe the video card itself? Never heard of an issue like this though in regard to that.
Any guesses?
