Hello guys, a friend just bought new parts for his new build and is having problems when installing video drivers so he asked me for help with this... The system never crashes while the video drivers arent installed, this happens on windows 10 and 8.1.
System specs:
AMD 7870k
Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-D3H
Patriot 2x4gb 2133mhz
Samsung 850 evo 250gb
stock cooler
Thermaltake 700w (the one I was using on my system before upgrading to the enermax)
So far what I've tried is this:
-Make sure ram is running at the rated 2133mhz(set profile to XMP)
-Set the ram to lower speed(1866 and 1600mhz)
-Move ram to the other 2 slots(always using same color slots)
-only use 1 stick of ram
-check cpu temps in bios (50c after letting it sit in the bios for a few mins)
-reapply thermal paste(cleaning old one first, temps didnt change)
-check cpu for bent pins(all are fine)
-use different driver versions(crimson driver, catalyst 15, 800mb+ gpu/chipset installer from gigabyte site)
-different drivers were used in both win10 and 8.1 fresh installs
-make sure bios is set to AHCI mode
-make sure latest bios version is installed
-increase ram voltage slightly(vendor says 1.5v is the required voltage, but all the other 2133mhz kits I see ask for 1.65v....
-use a different PSU
-install windows 7
When I tried catalyst 15, the installer actually got to the Install Successful window, then system crashed, after booting back to windows there wasnt any signs of catalyst drivers installed on the system... sometimes after trying driver install and system crashes it cant even get past the Welcome window again so I have to reinstall windows. At one point after a crash that actually let me get back to windows I opened event viewer and it had "Event ID 41, Kernel Power", I searched for possible fixes for that, but so far the only thing I can try is using my enermax PSU.
