| 1224613 | 2011-08-20 01:16:00 | Did you reinstall the operating system after replacing the processor & motherboard? What operating system are you using? |

| 1224614 | 2011-08-20 01:41:00 | windows 7 ultimate still, why would I need to reinstall operating system. i don't think i can anyway even if i wanted to because it wont let me use the keyboard until i get to login screen the lights dont even come on until login screen. | Norseguy (12873) | ||
| 1224615 | 2011-08-20 01:52:00 | You have to wait a minute or two... That can be a sign the CPU is overheating, is the heat sink attached correctly with good thermal paste ? If its over heating the protection in the CPU will stop the PC from starting again until its cool enough - over heating will also cause sudden with no warnings, shutdowns or freezes. why would I need to reinstall operating system From post #1 you say its a new Motherboard -- Unless its the exact same one, make and model,or the same chip-sets then most of the time there will be conflicts between the old and new drivers. Sometimes you can change boards and its fine, other times - forget it - instant problems. Easy way to tell if the KB / Mouse are working, boot from a bootable CD, something like linux. What key are you tapping nto get into the BIOS - should be Delete. |

The replacement (which I told him not to use too) died a few months ago - I examined it and found a vaporised resistor and atrocious soldering. Yours may not be the cause of your problems but I wouldn't recommend you keep it either. |

| 1224617 | 2011-08-20 04:35:00 | For some reason it wont boot from the windows 7 ultimate cd. There's a ton of thermal paste on it, and it's very secure, I pulled at it and it wouldn't come out, I'm sure the prongs are in good. But I still can't figure this mouse/keyboard out. It just doesn't work until the login screen :S Yeah I've heard the same about raidmax too. Someone said if it doesn't end in 50 or 00 then the psu is deffective or something. |

| 1224618 | 2011-08-20 04:43:00 | Actually putting too much thermal paste on is a common accident - one I made myself in fact on my first ever build. If you've gone back and re-applied the whole tube then the paste becomes less of a thermal interface material and more of a thermal insulator, if you've done that then it may well be causing an overheating problem. As for the Raidmax PSUs - some models might be better than others (In fact I don't doubt that) but they aren't very high end in my opinion. No matter what the cause of your current issues, I would personally take that PSU back and swap it for something else. A decent PSU will cause much less headache in the long run. |

| 1224619 | 2011-08-20 04:45:00 | I was looking back over things and this video card requires 12v@30A and apparently this psu can only push 12v@24A would this be the cause? would 6A make any difference? | Norseguy (12873) | ||
| 1224620 | 2011-08-20 05:13:00 | Man, you really walk a fine line all the time regarding your cooling. As already said above, the thermal paste needs to be in a very thin, even layer, applied carefully to avoid bubbles, and pushed smooth and flat with a spatula of some sort. Apply the paste to the CPU only. Applying it to the heatsink as well will increase the likelihood of trapping air (which traps heat). Figure out beforehand how to place your heat sink squarely over the CPU without dabbing it repeatedly in and out of the paste. Do your best to apply the heatsink once and once only, then make sure you secure it firmly with whatever clips it has. Make sure the fan is securely attached to the heatsink, and is correctly plugged in. The very first thing you should do when first applying power to a new build is to ensure the CPU fan is spinning freely and quietly. Your next priority is to get everything setup properly in the BIOS if you don't you may find your flash multi-core processor is only ever working a single core, or is running below spec. Don't be tempted to setup any overclocking whatsoever until well after achieving a reliable, stable installation of your OS. Once your OS is installed you next priority, ahead of any games is to install the MOBO drivers, then followed by the graphics card drivers. If possible, locate and learn to use the applications that report your CPU and GPU temps. Only after doing all that you should consider it appropriate to tax your kit on a game. Modern games are very, very demanding on hardware, particularly in regard to their cooling! |
