Cmputer wont properly boot until GPU is swapped
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
New to this forum and not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I searched for a while and couldn't find a problem like the one I'm having.
Here's my rig:
ASrock p67 extreme 4
Radeon HD 6970 2GB
Rosewill 1000w
I have had this Rig for about a year before encountering any problems. My problem is whenever I try to play games that should run easily on my system like WoW on low settings my computer will reboot. When it reboots its as if the motherboard doesn't work. Keyboard and mouse receive no power, no display shows on the monitors, but fans all run. If I swap out my GPU it will boot normally until I try to play a game and it reboots.
Ive tried booting with individual sticks of ram and it behaves the same. I have tested my PSU with a friends PSU tester and everything came up normal. My CPU and GPU are running at normal temps and the crash happens as soon as I open games so they have no chance to ramp up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
