I am having a couple issues with my first build:
CPU: AMD Phenom ii x4 965 be 3.4Ghz
MOBO: MSi 890gxm-g65
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
GPU: Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB
SSD: OCZ Agility 3 60GB
ODD: HP 270i
PSU: Antec NEO ECO 520C 520W
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit oem
(have 2 fans; mouse&keyboard; and pci LAN adapter plugged in as well)
Note: Have had mixed results for required PSU estimates range from 400-550 roughly(the higher ends are now that I have put it all together btw-This PSU was recomended to me by a Toms member after viewing this setup.
-1st ISSUE: PC crashes everytime I play a game and has also during video streaming once or twice. At first it was auto restart then I swithed it off and now get a error screen that suggests graphics card problem and I have to reset.
Attempted trouble shooting: I have tested under furmark and it doesnt crash but shows lousy performance.. 21 fps in 1080 mode with a score of 1280, no artifacts. I have reseated GPU and updated drivers.
-2nd ISSUE: I had both my HDD and SSD hooked up when I installed OS on to SSD. The OS wouldnt recognize the HDD but I somehow got around it by partitioning and formatting. I can now use the HDD but it is not my default storage, everything wants to go to SSD in C: It is only a matter of time before this 60g baby has filled up.
??? Is there something defective with the GPU?
??? Is there enough power supply?
??? Should I wipe the storage and reinstall the OS?
(Just some of the questions that come to mind)
I apologize if this isn't in the right catagory.
