    New R9 390 No Screen

    I was able to test the R9 390 in another motherboard with this PSU and low and behold the card completed POST and entered BIOS. That being said, the Power Supply and the R9 390 work together. This leaves me with more questions. Why would my current motherboard not complete POST with the card...

    New R9 390 No Screen

    Do you think it would still work with the 4870?

    New R9 390 No Screen

    This card is an XFX R9-390P-85. I have been testing and noticed another peculiar symptom. With my 7950 in slot 2 and a low power card in slot 1 the motherboard will post to an old nVidia card. With the R9-390 in slot 2 it will not post to the nVidia card. I have tried BOTH BIOS on the card as well.

    New R9 390 No Screen

    Thanks for the advice. I filled them in! The power supply is an OCZ700SXS 700 watt power supply. This PSU supplied the HD7950 without hitch for a good few years. Also when the HD7950 failed I did test it with another power supply before calling it dead. Could the PSU degrade to a point that...

    New R9 390 No Screen

    A while back I had a HD7950 fail. When it failed I tested in another motherboard with another power supply. Additionally my old 4870 worked fine in my motherboard so I safely thought it was the card. I just received a new R9 390 in the mail today and it is exhibiting the exact same symptoms as...

    HD7950 Died

    Hi Everyone, I finally got around to testing. I had no joy in another motherboard with a different known good cpu. @silentbogo Do you have a link to any guides on how to test the phases of the card? I inspected the card and did not find any bloated caps, cracks in the traces, and hot spots on...

    Ageia physx pppu

    I was cleaning out an old tote and came across an old ASUS branded Ageia Physx PPU. I decided to do a quick search before getting rid of it and found that people are still buying them used off ebay. Does anyone know if this thing has any real use anymore? Perhaps OpenCL programming or something...

    HD7950 Died

    Thanks for all of our help everyone! A friend loaned me an old motherboard PSU combo to test with, I am going to test tonight or tomorrow. Do you have a guide to which points to test with a meter? I am not a Electronics guru, but I do know enough to be dangerous :) Yeah this is my second...

    HD7950 Died

    Thanks both for a quick response! No it did not show up in device manager, but ATIWinFlash did see the card. Do you have a link with Detailed instructions on how to bake the card? I am sure it is outside of warranty period.

    HD7950 Died

    I had a Saphire Radeon 7950 in my machine that was working fine without any hiccups. Then yesterday I power on my machine after shutting down the night before and the card will not show video. First i tested with a different card and the machine completed post and attempted to boot into the...

    HP HD7950 Original BIOS

    Hey Frogger, Yes with the heatsink and power the fan does spin. If I plug only one at a time, the fan only spins with the one closest rear I/O. If I only plug the one to the front it doesnt spin? Is that normal or is that maybe the direction of my problem? Also what about baking the card...

    Try to fix a fault on sapphire 7950

    Rma Thats odd. It says in sapphire's RMA paperwork attached sated that lost receipts were calculated by the S/N. Hmmmm. Try just filling out the RMA form and emailing it to them. Most manufacturers want to stay liberal and offer S/N warranty over proof of purcahse warranty because it keeps...

    Try to fix a fault on sapphire 7950

    Hi All, I bought a sapphire card second hand. I emailed there RMA team and got a RMA request form, they never asked where it was purchased. Just wanted S/N and go. They even upgraded me to the OC edition because they were out of my card. Is your card physically damaged? If not I would just RMA...
