Thread of PC Woes, Troubles, Problems, and Issues

Well, I'm going to have my colleague look at the card today on a test PC here at work. I have no one who can lend me their card for testing purposes. Don't think my brother would want to testing my card in his PC or allow me to test his card in my PC.

I could ask a friend of mine to bring his PC around the weekend so I can test the GTX 650 I sold to him months back. Perhaps he'd humour me.

I'm so frustrated that punching a wall seems almost worth it.

Wish I could help you out, live a bit far away unfortunately.

I hope the guy at your work can help you today.

I hate not knowing what's going on.
[MENTION=6280]Blazzok[/MENTION] - Installed old driver but "warnings occurred during installation" - had that same message before with newer drivers.
Reinstalled new drivers again - without a hitch. I restarted, and hey Joe whaddya know, problem reappears.

Sorry, I realise I'm jumping in late here, but what error are your getting? Thread is a little TL;DR and don't have time while busy testing. I know I constantly had drivers crashes with my AMD card back when, turned out it was undervoltage, or I had to force over voltage on the VRAM.

I've never done that, so how will I go about doing that? In the BIOS?

MSi Afterburner iirc should be able to do that, but you'd have to set it to that Voltage after every start up (at least I had to).

This is something that would have to be configured in Windows, I can't get into Windows with the card installed.

aaah, that could be a problem then. Like I said, I never read too far back. I just saw something along the lines of driver crashes and AMD card, thought it might be related to the issue I had.
 
So I have this strange issue....

If I go about using my Xbone and having it connected via WiFi, then switch to my PS4 and load up Destiny it will be unable to connect to servers, despite the online functionality is the PlayStation working.

To get around this, I then have to bounce my router. Could this be due to uPnP?

Nope, most likely a router issue.

UPDATE:

Reinstalled Windows with the card inserted and all went well...

I noticed that Windows was not detecting the make or model of the card (just seeing it as a VGA adapter), so I uninstalled it, restarted. I it gave me the same outcome.

I then installed the latest AMD drivers, restarted, and BAM, crashing again! Put in the old NVidia card and it worked. Detected it upon startup (make and model). Resolution was set to my monitor's native. It crashed when I started Skyrim (expected).

I don't know now. My old card runs, until before it dies, but when my newer card is in it crashes.

Card or PSU - what is the answer? Gonna take it to work again, have my colleague check it out. What he finds will determine my way forward.

So what was the end result? I didn't contribute (wouldve repeated the good advice others here are giving), but I was following, and am curious to know if you got right in the end...

I have deduced that my card is in fact faulty. Did all the necessary software tests. Really don't think it's a PSU-related issue. Runs my old card just fine. Could not test at work and chose not to test it on a friend's PC as all tests lead to the GPU. You could argue that it is the PSU, but I'm not going that route.
 
I'm still having an issue with my wireless.

If I use my Xbox then switch to my PS4 I will not be able to connect to Destiny servers. All other functions on the PS4 work fine.

I will have to reboot my router in order to get playing. I have tried two routers, tried forwarding ports and even adding the PS4 to a DMZ.

Does your router support port mirroring and do you have a spare PC/laptop?

Not the correct thread for this, but looking at the specs of the two cards, the MSI will be a bit faster (in OC Mode). The MSI one also only requires 1 additional 6pin power cable, while the XFX needs two. The MSI card is a bit bigger than the XFX one but not by much.
The current range of MSI cards also have great coolers, so it will probably run cooler than the XFX.
