Hello friends, how are you?
Well, I've realized my dream and bought a Maximus VII Formula Watchdogs. Well, I have turned on the board with my processor (Intel I7 4790K), my memory (a single module 8GB Kingston DDR3 1333) and my video card (Radeon Powercolor R9 280x) and everything was going fine until I installed the drivers for the GPU. So, my screen flickered, gone dark and my pc restarted. Since then, the video driver shows an error (a driver crash that occurs all the time, even on the desktop startup, sometimes sooner, sometimes later) and I can't use the computer without being in safe mode, it just goes back to normal if I uninstall the driver.
I've tried everything: i've updated the MoBo BIOS; I've downloaded the latest version of the drivers for the MoBo and GPU; decreased the speed of the PCI-e slot on the bios and nothing worked. I have tested the GPU on another MoBo and it works very well, the same for another GPU on the maximus and the problem still persists.
Friends, I ask you for help and do this question: Are some of those components not compatible with the Maximus? May i trigger the warranty? Does it should work on a good way by itself in the act of building the machine, or should I do some setting in the bios for this first?
PS: I use a Raidmax 850W PSU with 80plus seal.
I thank you all, since now, for the atention and help 😃
