in the bios, make sure you have enabled X M P (extreme memory profile)

the setting might be enabled when you first access the bios, but as you got a maximus vii (mine asus Z87 pro) there will be some differences, so first off, access the bios, and set everything to defaults, then enable the XMP profile, it will be either on the first page (as the bios is a GUI interface) or in advance menory settings. (but I'm doing this from the top of my head) (as I not accessed my bios for a while, and there will be differances.
if that doesn't help, what is your power supply? is it a bronze or above rated? then I think anything above 750 wat (you are running a single gcard right?) (by the looks of if you are) so that should be more then enough, if its a bronze or above, (and a decent make) overwise, it could be a power issue.
Thnx alot for the information you posted above this =). I have a Corsair RM Series 850W power supply. One would say that is enough isnt it?
