Z800 version 2
3.04Ghzx1 CPU
1150 Watt PSU
8GB RAM
Latest BIOS Update
I bought it with a PNY GeForce GTX 285 which is...lacking.
Came into a 1080ti and think that I've got the headroom needed to use it, given that I'm using the 1150 Watt PSU.
The machine tells me otherwise. Any time I've pushed it, even with benchmarks, it goes to emergency shutdown/restart. I've checked all of the drivers, HP, Microsoft, Windows stuff, and run all of the self-checks (HP & Win), but nothing seems to be awry.
Any ideas, or is this squarely an incompatibality issue?
Thanks.
FWIW - I used to have 2 CPUs clocked at 3.04, but pulled one when I began to think that I needed to, "Free up," a few watts. I could also pop two, (or one!) of the stock CPU(s) back in, clocked at 2.66Ghz/ea, for still more watts.
