Computer Does not Complete Boot.

binsky3333 · Dec 9, 2007, 03:46 PM

Hi,
Whenever i start up my computer it runs good for about 30seconds but then very randomly all of my display shuts off and i have to restart. When i restart my display doesn't even come on. Could this be a Video card, motherboard or screen problem.

Thx

How long have you been useing your power supply and how many amps does it have. You need to make sure that your two Nvidia Cards are getting the power they need cause if their not then you won't see anything on your screen.

Also maybe your cards are not seated in all the way or some dust acumulation, did you check for simple solution as these.

This just started happening about 2 days ago. I took out both of my cards and blew away some dust and then put them back in and still had the same problem. I am assuming that my power supply is 56.6AMPS. I have been using the power supply for about 6months.

could you fill out your syspecs and make sure when you do you enable the drop down you will find it under usercp

binsky3333 · Dec 9, 2007, 04:35 PM

Try booting with One GPU card only, if problem re-occurs try the other card.

binsky3333 · Dec 9, 2007, 04:41 PM

ok i will try that. But could it be my motherboard or my monitor.

cdawall · Dec 9, 2007, 04:43 PM

binsky3333 · Dec 9, 2007, 04:50 PM

Ok..... So far the first card does not work. Also i have 3 PCI 16x slots should i put the grahics card i am testing in the slot made for not using sli.

binsky3333 · Dec 9, 2007, 05:10 PM

2nd one works like a charm boots up 100% normally. Now what do i do contact nvidia for a new card. I bought these cards about 6months ago.

cdawall · Dec 9, 2007, 05:12 PM
