Nope I haven't actually, not got a spare or a way to test short of putting it in my good rig. LEDs all come on the board ok, just wont reset/shutodwn/start without powering down via the PSU...weird!
I've also 1 bitcoin with this as well due to harddrive swaps/etc
Ok, NOW I'm 'annoyed' ...
Tried the 5830s in my main rig, one failed to POST so thats a good start! Now when I putmy 5850 back in my main rig I get
"Bootmgr is missing. Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa gggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
when you swapped things around it may have detected a change in configuration and forced the bios to reset. Go into it and check your boot up drive priority.
checked all that, had to run the win7 startup repair a few times.
Time to RMA the card, although I'm pretty sure I swapped the cards several times during testing, also the mobo is still dead as I was even failing to boot with no card installed
could it have been a faulty 5830?
That killed the board? Not sure, I've put faulty cards in PCs before with no trouble (?)
RMA started with Aria, should be fun!
Assuming its an XFX card they've been flogging recently, you should be good to go as I'm lead to believe they have a 'special' 7-day turn around deal with XFX.Originally Posted by Rob_B
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Yeah it is, asked for a refund as I need the money for a new mobo now
Just a quick one have you tried booting up the rig with the motherboard external to the case?? I only ask because I just built a rig that did almost the sme as you booted twice then wouldnt play. It turned out to be shorting out on the case when I screwed it down.
Yup, tried that all last night
Ah well, defintly sounds like a fried motherboard
