Hey guys,
i recently got a Gigabyte HD 7950. when i installed it my system, it didn't go beyond the splash screen. I thought the psu that am using was not enough (CX500), so got a bigger psu (GS700). Still the problem was the same.
Am using Intel DX58SO mobo for almost 4 years. It has two PCIE 2.0 16x slots and is working fine with my Sapphire HD 5770. So to further investigate i got my friends' very old MSI p7n platinum and it worked !! The graphic card accepted the mobo or should i say the mobo accepted the graphic card ?? this board too has 2XPCIE2.0 16x slots.
So guys, the problem seems to be my Intel DX58SO. Am stuck !! i've tried updating my bios (the last bios updated for DX58SO - 5/2012), removing and installing new drivers.
I tried updating the bios on the 7950 when i installed in my friends computer, but it already has the latest one. I cant afford to get a new motherbord now. i just spent a lot on this
Am low on ideas now. pls help guys !!
