Well bought some new hardware but having troubles getting it to work.
Have bought an Corsair RM750 PSU and a Asus R9 290-DC2OC-4G5D.
Installed the new PSU and GPU but booting up the system was getting me nowhere, mostly got stuck at bios screen. Even if i got into bios it got stuck after a couple of seconds. So removed the new GPU and placed the old one back in, still had same issues. so i reconnect my old CM 500W PSU and it booted up just fine. Installed the new GPU with my old power supply and it still boots up fine exept it kept crashing after a couple of minutes. So i figured my old PSU isnt cut out for the new GPU but works fine with the old one, so i brought back the PSU to the store and told them my problem. They said weird, should be working fine or not at all, but they tested the new PSU anyway and it worked fine on their testing rig. But said i wanted to change to a different model so i bought an Seasonic Platinum-760.
So i rebuild my rig with the new PSU and new GPU and it booted up without any interference. But then after starting up a browser or booting up a light game (gmod) it crashes right away. And it keeps doing this every time. Removed my CPU overclock, still same problems. Put back in the old GPU (AMD HD6670), no problems at all.
AMD FX-6300 @ 4,6Ghz / 1.456V
Asus M5A78l-m/usb3 (mATX)
Asus R9 290 OC /HD 6670
Seasonic Platinum-760
Corsair 8GB (2x4) Vengeance 1866 DDR3
Seasonic
Intel 530 SSD
4x HDD (mix between 7200 and 5400 RPM)
Asus PCE-AC56 WLAN PCI
Aquatuning D5 Vario pump
Aquaero 5LT
Any words of advice?, don't want to RMA my card also and be wrong for the second time.
