| 310036 | 2005-01-03 08:08:00 | >>The 64 bit athlon cpu's (lidded) do indeed come supplied with a heatsink with thermal pad already applied..... I didn't know that, so why is a thermal pad fitted when AMD say use grease, and they warn about the possibility of damage to cpu and socket? It isn't very good. |

| 310037 | 2005-01-03 08:23:00 | hmm....I had just popped back in to reword my prior post, Rather then "yeah right" imagine it instead said, Maybe the info at the AMD site is outdated as all the retail packs of the Athlon 64 bit cpu's have been supplied to me with a thermal pad mounted on the heatsink. I would imagine they altered their design somewhere along the way and the document on their site is outdated, I didn't handle any of the first few runs of cpu's so I can't comment on them,They may have not been available as a retail pack with HSF..... |

| 310038 | 2005-01-04 01:22:00 | OK heres hte deal. Everything is plugged in correctly. The power supply WILL NOT come on at 230. I have to have it on at 110. I dont know why. Whenever i pick the Heat sink up off the Processor, the processor is stuck to the bottom. That makes me think the pins arent sticking correctly into the slot. yes the handle on the processor slot is locked down. | DjReynolds3 (6759) | ||
| 310039 | 2005-01-04 01:36:00 | Hmm well I wouldnt leave it at 110. It MUST be able to go back to 230 or its screwed. I wouldnt use that PSU. Get another. You should have LEFT the voltage alone! | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 310040 | 2005-01-04 03:22:00 | ok so weirdest thing just happened. I took off the Cooling Tower...Processor was stuck to it. I twist the processor a little and it comes off... i clean off all of the thermal material off both the top of the processor and the bottom of the heatsink with a couple tissues. I take the processor and put a small S shape of thermal material on it and this time i really push the processor down hard on the slot it is supposed to go in to make the pins get a sure connection...i hear a click that i have never heard before. i push the lever down to hold it in place and i firmly place the cooling tower back on at a flat level and lock it in and plug it into the 4 pin JCFAN1 slot on my mobo. I plug in the power supply ON 230 BTW, and turn the comp on...it comes on..and stays on...for longer than it has yet. But my monitor is in the integrated slot and i'm not getting a signal to it. so i turn off the comp to put in my video card and hook the monitor to that...and i go to turn the comp back on, it does the same thing as before. Maybe my processor wasnt pushed down enoguh before...but why now does it mess up agian? | DjReynolds3 (6759) | ||
| 310041 | 2005-01-04 03:32:00 | OMG it runs without my video card in! But now i mnot getting a signal to my monitor! AHHH what is going on.When i hook the monitor to my comp's integrated no signal! when the video card is in and i have signal...the comp shuts down! | DjReynolds3 (6759) | ||
| 310042 | 2005-01-04 03:35:00 | now its running with the video card in..but the sound card out.............no monitor signal....it just shut down when i tried to put the monitor in. | DjReynolds3 (6759) | ||
| 310043 | 2005-01-04 03:41:00 | Ah ok so u have onboard video and a video card... If it runs with the videocard (not the onboard one), go into the BIOS and disable the onboard videocard. Were both video cards in the system before?? They may have been conflicting....And put the soundcard back in.. Have u got 2 soundcards as well?? onboard and other?? If so, once it goes again disable the onboard sound, in the BIOS, if u want to use another soundcard. |

| 310044 | 2005-01-04 03:48:00 | yes i have onboard and new of both video and audio. I cant get into my Bios, nothing comes up on my monitor at all when i turn the comp on with the monitor in either slots. does it have anything to do with the jumpers on my integratted stuff? | DjReynolds3 (6759) | ||
| 310045 | 2005-01-04 03:58:00 | OK Well, if you have 2 videocards and 2 soundcards in the system, you'll either have to remove the 5:1 soundcard if this isnt the onboard sound, and remove the PCI/AGP videocard, if this isnt the onboard video . Or try and get the monitor to switch on, so u can get into the BIOS to disable onboard sound and that onboard videocard . . . That maybe your problem . . Theyre conflicting . Take the soundcard out thats not onboard . Plug the monitor into onboard videocard . See if it works . If it does, Then get into the BIOS disable onboard video and sound . Then reinstall the other soundcard and the other videocard, if its better than the onboard video . |
