1. Have you ever gotten video out of the video cards?
2. Does your motherboard have onboard video?

Try the GPU on some other computer to see if it's broken. Or if you have other screens, try DVI/VGA ports.

It's not the GPU, as I tried two different ones.

Screen problems? Can you get image to the screen from any device?

No, Sapphire Vapor-X and Dual-X, not flashed.

Confirm it's actually POSTing with a dvi or display port cable. If it is, I suspect your hdmi cable is faulty.

After trying 50 or so times, the rig booted! But only to the "Starting Windows..." screen, then it hung. Sad

Considering it's a mining rig, the video card is most likely fried--as opposed to being a m/b or psu issue. PSU and motherboard issues tend to result in random or frequent reboots. What it sounds like is happening here is that as soon as 3D acceleration drivers get loaded, the card is taking a dump. I think the VGA port still bypasses any fancy chips until those drivers are loaded, whereas DVI/HDMI probably don't, and this might be the reason why you were able to get further using that port. Although since it has only "worked" once, it is still pretty likely that the card is in a real bad way.

Sounds like a driver problem, tbh. Can you boot off your windows CD? You can try system restore, and, if that doesn't work, format, reinstall.

Two seperate cards are in the EXACT same boat? I kind of doubt it, especially since I have to RMA one 7950 already...


yeah that's what I get for being up at like 4am... I was thinking you tried the GPU in two computers. Have you checked the motherboard for leaking/exploded capacitors?
