    Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 issue ?


    Hi all, just put a PC build together and am having an issue with the system randomly shutting down. Would anyone know of issues with the 5850 doing this ( then sometimes turning on with all fans at max with no output )?
    Have latest Amd ATI CCC 10.1. Board is ASUS P5Q Deluxe (asusupdate BIOS 2301).
    Any help appreciated. :)

    Dont sound like a Vid card problem. It sounds like the memory settings in the bios. check to make sure the mem settings are what they should be for that specific memory (ie: my memory setting are timings 8-8-8-12 @1.65v the motherboard was set to "auto" and selected something different which made my system unstable). Or also sounds like a Power supply unit failing. I have the same Vid card and a ramdom shut down dont sound like a video problem

    Thanks jdfrye, are timings & DRAM voltage the only changes you advise? What you are saying may be right regarding stability. And I think the Corsair HX 850W is running fine, all temps seem good at idle -

    Well make sure they are what the factory says they should be. the motherboard doesnt always get it right.
    And about power supplies: I have seen SO MANY systems and I mean SO MANY that the power supply was the problem. If after you try thr memory timmings and they dont fix the problem find a extra power supply and see if that cures it..if not then its something else..Manybe try running with only 1 stick of ram cause it could be a bad ram stick. trouble shooting computers is no fun if you dont have extra stuff to swap out so you can find the problem. Good luck and Google alot
