BSOD and odd boot up
Window 7 64bit
Original OS: window xp
full retail version
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M52S-S3P Rev.2
CPU: phenom 965 black edition
Video card: ati xfx hd 5770
PSU: 600w
I just installed a new a video card, an XFX Radeon HD 5770. I'm having some difficulty booting up. I say difficulty, because it does eventually boot, but it takes a while to get there. It's like a series of small brownouts happen before the machines goes to boot and POST.
When I hit the power button, the fans start to spin, and 2 clicks come from what I think is the video card (these are not like beeps you'd get normally if there's a MOBO problem, but they don't sound mechanical). Then the fans stop spinning. This happens 5-10 times before the machine actually goes on to boot normally.
I put back in the old video card (Gigabyte gt 8800) and the machine booted normally. I tried the new card again using some of the other power connectors, but it still takes a few pumps before booting up. There are 3 case fans and some LED lights, but there should be more than enough power flowing through the system.
Also I am getting BSOD after installing the new card.
