Right now I have a serious problem regarding black screens. Did several testings to determine on what is wrong, I think something is dying, my PSU, Vcard or the volt/current regulation on the mobo.
Testing the PSU without a scope seems to be impossible, so I guess the first step, would be a new PSU. If this is also bringing in the same problems then I guess buying the GTX1070 would be next step. Only I hope it is not the Vcard because I would go for the next gen AMD and not nvidia, have reading to much problems regardings high end nVidia cards and about AMD only a few.

PSU Corsair TX750
Vcard Sapphire HD7970 ref
mobo Asrock P67 extreme4 gen0

Right now I have installed a nVidia 7300LE-0,5gb the same I did use flying OFF2 and OFF3.

Not sure where you live, but you can always buy a new PSU at a chain store like Best Buy and return it if it doesn't fix the problem for you sir. Genuinely sorry for your luck. I was getting complete shut downs at random after I got my GTX 1080 and it did turn out to be a new PSU fixed the problem.

NO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WOFF3!!!!

Did several testings,
Installed Rof on the Woff boot black screen
Did a benchmark testing on my "Internet of things" Boot, same effect.

And after doing a lott of "try and error" I noticed it has something to do on the power, something is collapsing.

My last attempt is installing the Vcard on another system and using the exchanged one on my rig.

Dutch, you may already have considered this but if I were you I would check my power supply. It may be bad or failing. If you can scope it or find someone who can it would be a good thing to do before buying new components.

Thats why I'm using the try & error method. if my son can simulate the same black screen then it is the Vcard, without then I take the risk and get a new PSU. It is a risc because in that case it could also be the mobo's volt/current regulation. but we will see.

Murphy's low I guess, did an Bios update, the 3.19l from the official Asrock website and that failed, system is now dead. But luckely the bios chip is not soldered and I could get one for €10,- bios chip that can easily be exchanged.


The HD7970 vCard is running fine on my sons system and I have noticed that the GTX1070 is going to an normal suply level so eventually prices are going to drop to an normal level.

The bios chip was installed and I did noticed the complete wrong bios was published on the Assrock site. Took me a long way to get everything running fine. Did face lot of Intel driver and AHCI problems that did not work with the Bios, but it is Solved

Now something on the power was wrong could be the GPU, mobo or PSU.
GPU, HD7970 was running without any problems on my sons system so here nothing wrong and back into my system.
Mobo, did noticed heat from the P67 chipset, so I did install an fan that is blowing to the heatsink.
PSU, exchanged the Corsair 750watt to my sons OZC 600watt, we both do not have faced any failure, while my son does not need much power, mine is consuming lotts of untill now this 600watt seems to be OK in Overclocked condition.

So after we exchange the PSU I did start running the futuremark directX9 test and now it runs Sisandra in OC condition.

I'm have faced weeks without flying Woff and Rof, I hope next weekend everthing will be fixed.
