X1950 Pro Woes - loss of signal to monitor
Hey, I'm really in a bit of a pickle. A few months ago due to a poor powersupply I lost some hard drives. I scrapped the power supply, got a new one, but even now I can't set the FSB on the motherboard to 400 without it dying with a blue screen. It pointed to a memory issue, but the memory is fine according to memtest (setting the memory @ 800mhz causes no issues, it's solely the fsb)
Motherboard will be replaced in a few weeks, not sure if PSU damage comes under warranty. Either way, scan will only do a like for like replacement now so may as well just buy an IP35 Pro :)
But sometimes, when playing games on my sapphire x1950 pro, the screen will lose the signal. In the top right it will say analogue then digital - which is what it does when it's searching for a signal. I've connected the monitor through a dvi cable, I don't think that's to blame.
Sometimes upon restarting this issue persists. But if you turn it off a second time, it works ok. Like it happened last night, I turned the PC off for the night, turned it on this morning and no signal (it posts to the bios though). Then reset it and it worked fine. Though my whole computer seems to enjoy losing all it's saved settings :angst:
The annoying thing is, it's hard to replicate. I've tried stress testing the GPU but it passes with flying colours. It's only really in some games very occasionally. I played all the way through stalker without a hitch.
