I did post this on another of my threads, but I dont think the thread title gave it enough coverage and the problem is really doing my head in now.
I recently ordered a VTX HD 4870 GPU. I have a few problems.
Since installing the card, I no longer have connection to the internet (wired LAN). I have tried everything to rectify this, including reinstalling my old card (HD 4850) and still cannot solve the problem. Now, when booting up, the system fires up, before failing, then successfully fires up on the second attempt. This happens each time the system is booted. Initially I thought that the card may have affected the PSU, but as its an OCZ ModXstream Pro 600w, it should be more than enough for this card. I've done a number of system restores and my pc doesn't seem to be able install catalyst and the drivers either. It's just relying the drivers already on the system. I've tried booting up vista and this doesn't connect either, which makes me think it might be bios or hardware related.Heres a breakdown of my hardware:
Black Silverstone LC17B HTPC case
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD3P Socket AM2+ ATX
AMD Phenom II X2 550 CPU BIOS twea has activated the dormant 2 x cores to make it a quad)
Scythe Mini Ninja Heatsink
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w.
2 x Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB Hard Drive
2 x Corsair 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL4(4-4-4-12)
2 x Noctua RF-8 fan
LG Electronics Blu-Ray & HD-DVD-Rom Combo
HIS ICEQ 4 HD 4850 Graphics card
Pinnacle 3010ix Tuner card
Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S2 HD
cheers
