I already said that it's a brand new motherboard showing the exact same problem as the previous one. What would the point be of resetting the BIOS? I'm 100% sure there isn't a problem with the motherboard. Yeah yeah, read the FAQ, I know. I've already done all that stuff as I made clear...

Hello there. I've been having some trouble with my computer. When I press the power button the only thing that happens is the fans (and the SATA devices) turn on. To be more specific, the case fans and the fan on the GPU turn on, while the CPU heat sink fan does not turn on. Actually...

By shorting out the two power leads you mean just connecting the two metal things where the power button cord would usually go, by touching them both with a screwdriver? I tried that, nothing happened. I'll try setting everything up on some cardboard later, but I don't see how something...

Hey, I've got a bit of a problem. I've recently built a new computer (about a month ago) and it has worked fine... until now. Basically, I woke up this morning and pressed the power button and nothing is happening. The fans don't turn on (they are attached directly to PSU btw), PSU doesnt...

okay, the other day I basically reformatted the HDD and reinstalled everything, and since them (over 24 hours now) not a single freeze has occured. I'm hoping it is fixed. If it is, what do you guys think the problem was in the first place, that a complete reinstall would have fixed? Driver...

Coolermaster 690. I dont know how I'd get the temperature for my GPU or HDD but the procssor runs anywhwere from 38 to 52, using stock fan, I'm not too worried about the processor for now (I'll be getting a better fan in a few months in any case). edit: GPU temp is at 45 Celsius edit 2: it...

thund3rb1rd: I tried that one a few hours ago, I got to a black screen saying "Loading..." but it stayed there for about an hour or so before I gave up. I've been running normally almost all day now though, I had a freeze early in the day but for about 8 hours no freezes, hoping that my full...

Okay... so if I get errors what do I do then? What if I DON'T get errors? Either way my problem isn't fixed... I need help with this. Maybe it isn't memory related.

Mine did not look like that, I downloaded it from the memtest86 original website and it said Windows Memory Test or something like that. It said it would run the test twice and then restart windows. Basically I burned the iso to a disk and booted using that. With this memtest86+ I don't...
