Specs: AMD Phenom II X3 740
GeIL Black Dragon DDR3 1600
ASRock M770DE
Sapphire 5770
SeaSonic 520w PSU
Samsung F4 320GB
Installed everything along with Win7 Ultimate. System runs and will freeze, 2 secs later "No Video Signal". Has happened while installing Win7, installing Dragon Age, and 3DMark Vantage, also does it randomly.
I have tested the PSU rails with a multimeter, stable 12.28 on 12v and 5.1 on 5v. PSU has excellent reviews and 80 Bronze certified. I don't think this is the problem.
CPUZ shows CPU temps at 20C idle and 27C after running MemTest and other test apps for 45mins+. I'm using a huge direct core contact heatsink to keep it chilled.
Ran MemTest lots, 0 errors. I run multiple tests on all CPU cores and always no errors.
I haven't ran any demanding GPU test yet. I am about to run 3dMark 06. Can't run 3DMark Vantage, only supports 1 resolution which my 1600x900 monitor dosen't support.
Mobo I'm not sure how to test. CPUID HWMonitor shows 1.7 and 1.66 volts running to each DIMM, they call for 1.6v so I guess this acceptable. At one point I checked BIOS and they were underclocked at DDR3 1333 and when I changed them to DDR3 1600 Win7 froze on boot and then wouldn't boot at all. Cleared CMOS and booted up fine. Ran MemTest and 0 errors. Set RAM back to 1600 and booted fine, has been running at this ever since with numerous MemTests and still 0 errors.
Not really sure how to test HDD other than a simple read/write. I downloaded some performance test suite and it ran a few HDD tests and they all came back with fine.
I'm going to run 3DMark 06 soon as it's done downloading, maybe it's my 5770. I pray it is because if not I am out of ideas. Mobo standoffs are all in correct place so I know Mobo isn't shorting out from that. Maybe the Mobo is just crap? Only cost $60 but has great reviews.
Any ideas guys? I have a stack of games I bought that are staring at me that I can't play haha. Thanks!
