Hi All,
Just bought an Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970. I'm having a very frustrating time installing it into my machine. Here's the deal:
When I connect the graphics card, the mem light on my motherboard flashes red and my monitors don't turn on - it just flashes. There's two DDR3 RAM slots that each have 8GBs. I remove one of those, and the system works. (the mem light goes away, monitors fire up, system works normally)
I also tested by putting the DDR3 back in, unplugged the graphics card and connected to onboard VGA - everything works well.
So the issue seems to be related to the GTX970 and the RAM. Some kind of conflict?
Not sure exactly what I should be doing next to resolve?
My system is:
Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.4GHz
ASUS P8H77 M LE
Antec 750 PSU
Windows 7 Service Pack 1, 64-bit
What do you guys think is going on here?
