Okay, so this is my build that I have so far. I just got the GPU tonight and I plugged it in with the 2 6-pin connectors that was hooked up from the PSU. I ran the CD with the latest drivers in it, and did another restart on the computer. The boot up was smooth, but once I started opening up screens, it was start freezing (sometimes multi-colored pixels would randomly appear) and then the screen would turn black for a second and restore itself, stating:
"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered."
This would consistently repeat itself. There were also a few times when a different screen would pop up, saying something like:
"The AMD display driver you put in is not responding or not installed properly" or something of that nature.
Now, unless I put in the pci-e 6-pin connectors in the wrong spot (which I'm pretty sure I did put it in the right spot), I'm not sure what else to do. Some websites asked to install the latest drivers, but even downloading it from the AMD website and trying it that way would not work. If you have any ideas as to what I did wrong, please let me know. I could have installed it wrong, but I don't see the difficulty in plugging the GPU to the mobo and the connectors to the GPU. I was told that this was the best GPU for the build that I have, but maybe that person was wrong? Anyways, any insight would be greatly appreciated.
