Title: Need Help: 5970 not start after 1 hour break Post by: rouf553 on May 23, 2013, 05:19:47 AM Hi,
I'm always facing the same problem. When my ATI 5970 stop running for 1 hour it needs little hit to start again. Without hit it stays inactive. Any solution?

I've had a case where one of those metal contacts became loose.

Mines for a little while, hits 92C, dies. Won't mine again until it's cold. Heat sink is fine, fan is working.
When I run it as the only GPU in the machine, I can see artifacts all over the screen, so the memory must be stuffed. It's just knackered. >:( Title: Re: Need Help: 5970 not start after 1 hour break Post by: rouf553 on June 04, 2013, 01:12:20 PM After providing some hits on the gpu card was working fine. But today it is not starting.
Any solution? Title: Re: Need Help: 5970 not start after 1 hour break Post by: HellDiverUK on June 04, 2013, 01:14:16 PM Well if you have to physically hit it, then there's obviously a break in a connection somewhere.

Is it overheating?
Title: Re: Need Help: 5970 not start after 1 hour break Post by: stephengillon on June 04, 2013, 09:00:31 PM do you have the cards overclocked and memory underclocked at first run?
5970's have problem with what they call cold solder and can have problems till they warm up. i have 1 5970 on air that has to run at default clocks till it warms up abit before i change values. pain in the ass but yeah Title: Re: Need Help: 5970 not start after 1 hour break Post by: Moebius327 on June 04, 2013, 09:02:20 PM Have you excluded a software issue. Try using the card in another system.

Get a friend over and get him/her to talk to you and write down the situation. Is a manual hit the same as a physical hit? Temps? Software? PSU? Is it properly situated in it's slot? etc. It's a bit like asking for help with your bread-baking, and it turns out your oven was at 50 centigrades and no yeast in the dough. |
