Most times when i go to play a game suddenly i get a reboot of the pc. When it boots back up it does not start and says hypertransport sync flood error has ocured on last boot press F1 to continue. Some times before it happens i get some audio freezing then screen freeze and it reboots. I have tryed many differant bios versions but that makes it so i cant boot at all. I can get into safe mode after every time but it can be a pain to get back into windows the regular way. Any idea on what is causeing this google has given me no answers.

Asus M4A79T Deluxe
Phenom 2 965 140watt
2 XFX Radeon HD 5750 1 Gig in crossfire
Patriot sector 5 DDR3 1600Mhz 4 Gig
2 Seagate Barracuda  1Tb - 2TB raid 0
Raidmax hybrid RX-630SS
XCLIO A380BK

Do you have this OCed?

did a quick search , came up with this.

Seems theirs not enough voltage to the CPU causing this error.  Read the second to last post.

Unfortunately no cure yet.

That's the same forum I was reading!

I did have the system OC for a little bit but took it off waiting for my water cooler to get here.
If i install another bios it takes and will only let me boot to safe mode. If i boot regular it hangs at the windows screen. Going back to the 1303 bios for now just trying to get into windows normally.
Do you think this would stop if i changed my OS?

After you go back to the 1303 BIOS check your setting. The BIOS does not always get them right. Check your cpu volts / memory voltage and all the other settings. If you remember your overclocking setting try them.

Changing the OS has nothing to do with it. As of right now the problem lies in the BIOS apparently. They haven't fixed it from what i can see. If you down-step the bios version make sure your CPU can support it first.  The CPU may not run on an older BIOS version.

Wouldn't changing the CMOS jumper put it back to stock before he OCed  it?

Yes.  But some motherboard can put in the wrong setting when you leave them on AUTO.  [ voltage ,memory timing,ect ] and like ☻ ◦§1 ☺ says make sure the BIOS works with your CPU.

Got sick of my pc not booting up and decided to reinstall Win7. I am noticing one thing that is strange. If this was not software messing with my voltage what else could it be? In other words why could i always get into safe mode just fine?
After reinstalling windows I am taking my time installing drivers. One thing i notice is every time i go to install ATI drivers my pc wont boot. Rather frustrating but working on a way to get around all of it.

All setting in bios are set to auto and as Buntz said auto can be bad sometimes. I have so many options for changing everything on this board i have no idea where to start.

[prairiedogsplatr]

Does all this info look correct? And yes i know i have my ram under clocked just waiting for machine to be stable before i take it back to 1600.

[EBrown]

Looking at it, your 3.3V, 5V and 12V are higher than they are supposed to be.

That might not affect it, but that caught my eye.

Thanks,

Think i found out what the problem is (kind of)
I took out my second graphics card and everything works great.
This is telling me i would think that it is either the voltage from the psu to the cards, one card is bad, the motherboard is having problems running 2 cards..( made for 4 cards) or some setting in the bios is making it crash while both are hooked up.
Just a few thoughts about it hopefully with more testing it can be resolved.

Played cod mw2 for a few hours no crash so far. Rebooted many times no crash on reboot. Leaving pc on for the nite see what happens.

Well if it doesn't happen again, then its probably because your power supply can't provide enough current, or keep the current consistent for everything inside the system.


What kind of power supply do you have?

[Buntz]

dlewis23 has a very good point. Your power supply has the max watts covered for CrossfireX , but your 12volt output might not have the amps to run both cards. Here is the requirements that XFX recommends to run CrossfireX with those cards.[color=rgb(255, 0, 0)]

When you run high end graphic cards you have to have a good power supply. You can not skimp on the power supply.

Here is the psu i bought  http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817152035
I would think it would be enough power to that card i need to look at that link still.

[prairiedogsplatr]

Says 450 is min and i got a 630 with a 140 watt cpu I would think that would be enough but a little more never hurt

Is it possible i had the crossfire tab in the wrong spot? i had it on the set of tabs close to the video outputs.

I will try the other card out tues or weds depends on when my IC7 thermal compound gets here. I have to take the motherboard out anyways to put in my water cooler that should be here today.

[Buntz]

The problem you might have is on the 12 volt circuit. As for as I can see you are also running two harddrive too. You have the max watts for the cards cover , but you might not have enough amps to run the cards and the harddrive ,other 12 volt systems on the 12 volt circuit.

[prairiedogsplatr]

Are the pcie cords on the 12V circuit?

[Buntz]

The PCI cards use the 12 volt rail for the extra power they need to run the new cards , That is why you have to hook up the 6 pin connector , for the extra power. XFX has very good customer support, call them up and give them the spec to your computer and they will tell you if that power supply has the power the system needs.
