Asus M4A89GTD-PRO\USB3
AMD Phenom II x2 555 3.2GHz@ x4 B55 4.3GHz
Scythe Mugen 2 Rev B. /w Push-pull Scythe "Slipstream" 1200 RPM DC FAN
seasonic 620w s12ii-620 bronze PSU
Samsung "Spinpoint" F3 108J 1T HDD
2GB x2 (4GB total) Corsair CM4GX3M2A1600C9 (in other words, 2 overclocked-at-arrival memory kits of 1600\9-9-9-24 that their SPD is 1333 9-9-9-24)

I recently bought the CPU-cooler (does awesomely, before that the temps I would reach with AMD for this frequency + 2 opened cores would be about 40C, now I am about 30C, 15-20C idle full fan setup), new memory kits (old one had too loosen timings for stability, with this new one I can overclock timings much easily by reducing the frequency, even though it's not on the SPD's profiles) and an aftermarket VGA cooler (Accelro Twin Turbo PRO, even though this card doesn't have any programmable voltage regulators, or at least easy to program voltage regulator as no software, even ATTRIX, can change it's voltage, so overclocking-too-much this VGA is hard without a good BIOS modifiting) after installing the aftermarket VGA cooler to the VGA and inserting it to the PC, it simply would not send any informotion to any of the monitors (I am using multiple-monitoring display), I tried using a differnet PCI slot, didn't work, I tried a different card (Twintech 96 GT), it worked, so I booted the iGPU (on-board GPU, using shared memory) and tried to see the card on GPU-Z, I saw the card but the clock speeds were incorrect, the tempertures reading was incorrect, half of the info GPU-z was either grayed-out or incorrect, I tried downloading the BIOS and GPU-z couldn't find any BIOS (which leads me to think the card shorted out?), I tried flashing a different BIOS, I think that I managed one time to successfully flash a BIOS because then GPU-Z would show a very accurate informotion, after a reboot the problem resumed, I didn't forget to connect the aftermarket VGA cooler to the PCB, I ensured the fans are working, I also see some weird shared memory requirement from the iGPU, each boot it requires different amount of memory, sometimes it's 1.5GB, sometimes it's 1GB and sometimes it's 0.5GB, though on BIOS I set it to 0.5GB, when I use Windows's memory diagnostic of use, I see that sometimes more then 0.5GB is used for "hardware & bios" [shared memory], I wonder where it goes if not for the iGPU?
