Hi,
My system starting acting strange 3 days ago. I started experiencing vertical line lock ups and i'd have to reboot the system.
Im running i7-950, with a gigabyte x58a-UD3r and 6GB of Kingston DDR3 and Radeon R9 270x Devil (brand PowerColor).
At first i thought maybe because I updated to the latest drivers, the errors occurred, but yesterday after such an error, the system didn't want to boot. I starts you hear something that's not really a beep but more like a 'tick' sound and then it just starts looping.
After a dozen of reboots, it went back up and I looked around for overheating but all temperatures were normal under load and everything.
Today, when the error came back and I had to restart, I couldn't boot no matter what. I tried resetting the CMOS, didn't work. Swapped pci-e slots didn't work. Decided to just take out the power pins from the card and yatzii, the system booted with no problems. I could hear the start up sounds even navigated without monitor to play a song or two.
Shut it down, tried to plug the card back and it hangs up again. I also followed the steps in the sticky, swapping RAM, slots, cmos resets, cable switching etc nothing has worked.
The card is probably a year old, the PSU is Seasonic 750RT which is also almost brand new. Now here's the thing. I was transporting this system two months ago, and when the part came, the PSU had a slight dent, but after the system booted normally and was stable for a month and a half I thought it's all good.
Any thoughts? Is it the PSU or the VGA? Maybe something else? Sadly I just moved to this country by myself. I have nobody to ask to test video cards or PSUs, I've spent lots of money on the whole migration so identifying the right part and replacing it would be ideal, rather than spending more money.
