i just got an evga 580 gtx sc (sent the first one back to evga for the same issue). when i put it in my system i get massive cpu spikes and slowdown, it literally takes 20 minutes for windows to boot up. i have been working with evga tech support and gone through everything in the book troubleshooting this. Its has come down to be the memory or the motherboard, i am not sure which. if i have one stick of ram in the pc it runs fine no lag and no spikes, but if i put another stick in the lag is back, it does not matter which sticks i use its always one is fine 2 or more not. i have run memtest86 and the ram went through 2 passes with out error. the really weird thing is if i put my old 9800 gtx+ in i can have all the ram in and it runs normal.
I am not really sure how to proceed from here, i do not have any extra memory on hand or know anyone i can borrow some from and i really don't want to go buy ram i can't return for it to turn out to not be the problem. any help on how i should proceed would be greatly appreciated.
my rig:
Foxconn Renaissance
core i7 920
6gb super talent WA133UX6G8 ddr3 in tri-channel
ultra x4 1050w power supply 87a on +12
windows 7 x64 (fresh install)
what i have done so far in no particular order:
-reset bios to default
-manually set memory timing
-tested ram with memtest
-tried another power supply
-clean install of windows
-tried different pci express slots
-tried ram in different slots
-drivers that came with card
-newest drivers from nvidia
-banging head against wall repeatedly
-removed unnecessary components and put them back one at a time until the problem reappeared.
