Video Card Issues

56curious · Oct 23, 2016

Hello, so I had my gtx 1070 delivered yesterday and it worked fine. I turned it on this morning and it beeped as normal. But then a few seconds later it beeped again. It then opened win7 starting Windows screen with 4 lines going across the screen (pixilated) so I shut it off. I uninstalled the graphics card and then tested my onboard, which was fine so I knew it must have been the video card. I then put the card back in and instead of using the 6+2 pin connects I used yesterday, I added the 2x6-8 pin connectors (the PSU has all the wires on it even useless ones so I think that is Non-modular?) and it was all fine again. I restarted the system 3 times, all the same. Anyone know wtf happens and if it is gonna rear its head again?? Oh I must also add the system is bottlenecked (and fx8350 8gb ram) but I plan on an i7 4790k in like 3 months. Should I j just put the 760 back and cry myself to sleep because I can't use my new card or try some other stuff.
Any help would be appreciated,

Curious.

Hi,
What the model of your GTX 1070? Does your GTX 760 still works well or the problem still happens?

Endless8 :

Zotac AMP! Edition 1070
This has all the problems, the 760 should be working fine and was in the PC before hand.

The problem hasn't happened YET (Touch wood) but About 5 minutes ago my display driver crashed and then responded again.

Your card have 2x8pin ports so connect everything. Test with your 760 if the problem persist if yes it may be GPU problem, it would be nice if you could test your card in you friend pc for example. If it would work well I would start thinking about if the PSU can handle. BTW what's the model of your PSU?

Endless8 :

My Power supply has 4 6+2 pin connectors. I first used this and it worked fine last night, however while using it, I have had the problem. I used the 2 lots of 6 pin connectors to 8 pin (http://www.bilder.delock.de/produkte/orig/52307c41687b60.90678616.jpg) and it currently has had no major issues, just that the driver crashed. I probs won't be able to test it in another PC because I don't have one and I live in a rural area (None of my friends live near) Should I RMA the card if the problem persists or should I just put the 760 back into my PC currently.

EDIT:
Power supply is 750Watts
The brand is Raider

Test the 760 if it works normal with the 6+2 pin cable (the orginal one)(idk what the power entry on your 760), looks more like the PSU is making something strange or the GPU is faulty.

Thank you very much

Vic 40 · Oct 23, 2016

The raider isn't probably very good quality,but if it has 4x6+2 connectors are they probably on two cables.Did you try and use use one set of 6+2 from each cable?

Vic 40 :

No i haven't, what I did when I used the 2x6 - 8 pin connects is I used the other duel set of wires (NOT the ones that I used originally) and I haven't had a problem yet.

Vic 40 · Oct 23, 2016

That's good to hear.You can still try both cables,if the psu has multiple +12V rails (like 4) might it be usefull.

Vic 40 :

Just a real quick question, would you say I should remove my bottleneck (FX 8350 8GB ram) by taking the 1070 out my system and put the 760 back, or should I just wait until I get my I7 4790k (May Ish)

Vic 40 · Oct 23, 2016

No,if you have it just use the gtx 1070.

Vic 40 :

Wonderful, a few of my friends were saying that my whole system could have problems like the mobo frying etc etc because of a bottleneck, I think they just have a wrong definition.

Vic 40 · Oct 23, 2016

A bottleneck only means that one component holds back another in performance. This imo only is when if the cpu can't keep up with the gpu,or better said can't feed data fast enough for the gpu to be running at 100%.
This has no impact on the motherboard or other components.It just means that the gpu in some games might not be running at 100%.Depends how the game utilizes the gpu and cpu.

Vic 40 :

I made another post for this as I've marked as solved and I doubt I'll get a new response here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3223445/video-card-issues.html

Issue happened again today and on both days, I had been playing Arma 3 for a prolonged amount of time the NIGHT before (Hours

)

Do you think I'm just straining everything? I haven't changed the graphics on it because I was getting 30 (With what I have, that's awesome -- Game is unoptimised and well AMD...

)

What I'll do is i'll do the power thing, and still play arma like have. If I get the issue, I'll switch graphics cards and see if I get it at all (Don't think I will however because its the same power cables). I'm 60 - 70% sure its the graphics card though.

I found this in my event log (This was the first thing it displayed this morning:

Other thread is gone it seems ...

That notification in the event viewer seems to have to do with the intel igp,which you don't have with that AMD cpu,so it's abit of a puzzle to me. Did you,when installing drivers for the motherboard,maybe install drivers for an Intel gpu? If so remove them.

Endless8 · Oct 30, 2016

Vic 40 :

Yup thats Intel igp related.
Do as Vic 40 said.
Btw, seems like GPU problem.
