hello again
i actually found one of my old 7800gtx lying around and i tried it out and the infinite loop problem hasnt surfaced, actually none of the problems that i mentioned before.
so now im wondering if the 7950 and my 550 watt antec psu are in conflict or the 7950 is broken?
550 watt can handle a 7950 right?
ive had it since september and only know has it been acting up so my best bet is that the 7950 is broken.
