Also, again, look up your CPU and RAM specifications in terms of timing, speed, voltage etc and manually set this all correctly in BIOS, just in case the BIOS is autodetecting it wrong. You can get big issues if these are incorrect. However, I would suggest you also try\borrow a different PSU as that TM-350-PMSR looks pretty weak with a single 12v rail of only 10A. |

| 1287421 | 2012-07-10 04:58:00 | Well then if that doesn't help I would swap out the PSU for a better one, I reckon it's underpowered. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1287422 | 2012-07-10 04:59:00 | Good Replacement? | Tplw9 (16484) | ||
| 1287423 | 2012-07-10 05:06:00 | I would say corsair or a decent thermaltake or something. pbtech.co.nz The included coolermaster ones aren't fantastic. Mine does alright but I made sure it was more than what I required (my setup requires minimum 400-450 watts I believe, and I don't push it too hard. I wouldn't upgrade the card without upping the PSU first at this point) PSU's can be pricey but get a decent one and you should be set for a fair while. |

| 1287424 | 2012-07-10 05:34:00 | tad overkill for a a4 system? IMO www.playtech.co.nz or this www.playtech.co.nz once they get back in stock. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1287425 | 2012-07-10 05:36:00 | Check in the BIOS. 1. System voltages 2. CPU/System fan speeds 3. CPU overheating warning 4. CPU/System fan fail warnings Disable what does not apply, ie: sometimes the system will alert you to a failed system fan when turned on even though no fan exists. Manually check your CPU fan is going around (sometimes a system doesnt kick in the fan as it should do when set on auto (smart) settings.) Check and make sure your voltages are within their limits. |

| 1287426 | 2012-07-10 07:26:00 | I'm guessing the CPU is running way hotter than reported, or as earlier suggested, that the alert level is absurdly low. Fans with dodgy bearings often run worse in cold weather (ie startup in winter). I've had one that would turn no faster than I could have spun it with a finger. Also had instance where a fan was slow to start spinning, and the BIOS would interpret it as zero fan speed at power-on. Also, if you have fans configured for silent or power saving modes, reset them to max speed until this gets properly resolved. This could be set in software or in BIOS, or both. You haven't mentioned any GPU. They can be a major power drain. If you have one, and can remove it and substitute an onboard graphics port, then try that as well and see if you have any better luck. |

| 1287428 | 2012-07-10 09:27:00 | I know i used to get a warning message when i booted due to using a non stock coller whose fan ran at a much lower rpm. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
