[riclx]

hello again... i havent decided what to do...
but only today i notice that my power supply is only 300w... and in some "simulators" to see the power you need, with i have on my pc.. the results always come that i should have a power supply over 550W.
could this be another reason?????
i also wanted to ask, since ive seen in some foruns, how to install 2 graphics boards? since i have one 7600gt 512mb, that i m not using at the moment...
could someone give me some insight on this?
thnks

if both cards are PCI-E, then its a matter of just installing the 7600 into the other PCI-E 16/8x slot if one is available.

The real important value is the 12v Amps, wattage can be really deceptive.

some psu manufacturers have extremely high 5v Amps and low 12v Amps which accounts for the 300w rating, most devices these days require plenty of 12v Amps, so its best to look at the PSU's ratings than just at the Model's wattage.

good evening, i ve just purchased the motherboard metioned above, and i finished to assemble my pc, but it doesnt boot.
already tryed to format to male a clean instalation, booting from the cd, but it gets stuck in the windows logo.
please help!!!!
my old motherboard was an m3n78vm, and everything worked with same configuration

the configuration is in a older post to this thread. so win7 64bits

 

[squall leonhart]

if it was booting from the DVD, there wouldn't be a windows logo.

make sure your boot order is correct in the bios.

got it... disks formated... but the instalation failed dont know why...
from asrock they tell me i have to update the bios...
but i already try to start from an usb flash with the bios files, and it doesnt update...gives the notification to remove disks and media and restart...
what should i do?

 

[squall leonhart]

you'd need to apply a boot sector to the usb stick first.

 

[riclx]

done....
when i try to update... it gives me this error....

 

[squall leonhart]

doesn't the system bios itself have a amiflash embedded?

 

[riclx]

no idea...
anythoughts on how i can solve this?

 

[squall leonhart]

you may have bios virus protection enabled, can you check that?

hi riclx, try using the standard vga driver see if the same thing happens , have you tried running in safe mode?
