Title: GV-R795WF3-3GD/Rev 2.0: No Boot
Post by: JustWantToPlay on April 18, 2013, 03:35:39 pm

Hello,

I have a DX79SI which has worked perfectly thus far with my Zotac GTX 570.  I got a Gigabyte 7950 and after I physically installed it, I can get past the initial BIOS boot but can't get to the Windows load screen.  I do get an error at the bottom right hand part of the screen which is 0_    Is there a possibly known issue/fix for the DX79SI and HD 7950?

I have updated the DX79SI to version 0559
Installed the most current Gigabyte drivers for the HD 7950
Installed Catalyst software
Removed CMOS battery for 5 minutes to clear CMOS
Curse

My system:
Windows 7 64-bit Professional
Intel DX79SI system board
Intel i7-3930K Proc
32GB of RAM
750W power supply
Zotac GTX 570 (works)
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 (want to work)

Thanks for any help!

I was able to chat with an Intel tech support.  They thought that the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 wasn't compatible with the DX79SI motherboard and cited their tested peripheral page...  http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dx79si/sb/CS-032973.htm

I've tried everything I could think of, everything I could find on this and other forums, and things I probably shouldn't have done but to no avail. 

So, it's off to MicroCenter to change it out.  Anyone have a board they love AND works with the HD 7950?  I was looking at the Asus P9X79 WS.
