Did you try to spam the Esc/F8/F12/whateverwasthekeyforthatmbtoforceboot?

 

 

^^^^^^^^^^^ sorry forgot to quote lol

[RagingRacoon]

lol i'm actually giong to order the e8400 as well as a new gfx card (: any recomendations budget wise ?

[RagingRacoon]

and by the way how are you supposed to put in the new bios ? is there a certain way i have to do it or is it just an exe file 

[RagingRacoon]

Well... I remembered that I put a GTX 650 with it and it was nice... Games at full on that PC (well... resolution was 1366x768 )

Now the most similar GPU you can get is the GTX 750 (or R7 260(X)<-may need PCIe power connector), doesn't require PCIe connector BTW...

 

alright but i have battlefield 3 and 4 as well as some pro evolution soccer 2012 left 4 dead 2 , minecraft but battle field 4 is my most graphics intensive game i have is there one that can handle battle field 4 in specifically ?

[RagingRacoon]

i have a 1440 x 900 display i believe its the AL1917W by acer i have 2 extra displays that with a good enough gfx cards and more ram im going to be doing some 3 monitor gaming

[RagingRacoon]

You've to execute it. Just (again, I'll always insist on this, you'd brick if not): check that's GA-EP35-DS3L

But if you're running a E3200 then your BIOS is F6 already... so a E8400 will run on that.

Download CPU-z and check motherboard/mainboard tab for BIOS version.

If it's F6 you don't need BIOS update for E8400

E8400+GTX 750/R7 260X can handle all that (can't confirm BF4 (I don't own it)) but another factor is resolution, what are your plans for that?

 

 

damn it lol keep forgetting to quote but yeah thanks i will download cpu-z as soon as windows 7 is installed  

[RagingRacoon]

um maybe just got up to 4 gigs on 32 bit right ? or if i have to go to 64 bit id go to 6gb

[RagingRacoon]

great now my gfx card is giving me some issues d: 

[RagingRacoon]

I've 64 bit on 4 GB... but for gaming it'll conflict so if you want to take advantage of 64 bit but keep good gaming 6 GB is enough. But both options (4-32 and 6-64) may have problems with BF4 (I can't confirm this... you'll need members that tried that game )

 

my gfx card is not doing the whole tdr video thing do you know anything about that ?

[RagingRacoon]

not yet because everytime i do install them it gets worse is there a way to reflash the bios or something like that ? so the WHOLE graphics card gets a hard reset

[RagingRacoon]

hm? what you meant? If it's on basic mode don't forget drivers

nvm... gotcha, but did you install drivers? (yes... this actually can cause TDR )

 

 

keep forgetting to quote lol sorry ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[RagingRacoon]

Hmm... I don't think it's that...

1st of all... when did this start and what were you doing?

2- what PSU and how old?

(don't worry, if you stay in this forum you'll keep quoting )

 

not that old actually and this has been happening with this specific gpu for a while now and its getting rather quite annoying i've re done the thermal pads and thermal paste so thats not the issue so its a software issue 

[RagingRacoon]

Overheats? (also check the back PCB where the chipset is, to grant that the thermal pad works, but with dry hands and without metalic objects )

Is the heatsink properly screwed?

Can you check all its clocks?

 

 

let me install cpu z to monitor the temps and clocks of everything okay i'll reply back in a bit

[RagingRacoon]

Ok, but I'm going to sleep soon... here it's 2:30 AM

 

 

whoa thats late its 537 here

and it doesnt show me the clcks of my graphics card let me update the driver hopefully it still works 

[RagingRacoon]

Hey dude can you help me out with my issue im trying to fix it but i have no luck maybe you can help me out

[RagingRacoon]

Well... if it's only that GPU, it may be broken... don't you have a spare one to confirm this?

 

well yeah the other graphics card works just fine its just this one i replaced the thermal pads and thermal paste i just need to reflash the bios to a new or same bios but idk how

[RagingRacoon]

okay well thanks
