AW9D-MAX POST 5B when using GTX460 768mb

According to Bit-Tech your GTX460 needs 150W at full power and I think most cards use a good deal of their max when initialising.
That means your iGreen 600W PSU is going to be struggling to supply much more than 450W for the rest of your system.
Take off the 65W that your CPU needs and that is further reduced to less than 390W for your system requirements.

I personally wouldn't be wanting to run any system without some measure of spare capacity and with that card wanting about 12.5Amps from a single 12v rail I would think it would struggle.

I just looked at the iGreen 600W specs and it says the 3x 12v rails are 456W MAX.
The 3 rails are rated at 16A, 14A and 8A max continuity. Assuming the main 16A rail is for all the other peripherals, that leaves a 14A rail and an 8A rail and I couldn't tell from the spec which rail the PCI-e connectors would be attached to.
Either way, the first thing I would do is uprate your PSU to a min of 750W.
My new system is similar spec and I am using an 850W PSU to give me some spare capacity.

If you re-apply your requirements with the max continuous from your PSU (456-150-65=241W) you'll see it's starting to run a little short and that's not counting all the other bits connected to the PSU.
I'm guessing the video card isn't managing to initialise properly.

Thanks bro for ur advice.
yup..i think my dumb igreen 600watt psu is the issue here.
find out the rating for 2nd PCI-e connector only provide 8 Amp rating..
damn,now try to use 6 pin power connector to the other 12V rails
coz 12V1 + 12V2 total rails got 30Amp...and im hope its will up my gtx460 though

latest update.
its not a psu not supported..
its because of the lousy aw9d-max bios 17.
when i downgrade to bios 15,my gtx460 work great.
to aw9d-max owner..pls be note that bios 17 for this mobo did not support GTX460

Glad you got to the bottom of it

I would still uprate your PSU tho - it's running a bit close to the knuckle power-wise.
