| 1224622 | 2011-08-20 06:07:00 | 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? 6 Amps is a lot of current and would certainly make a difference. However your PSU has two 12v rails with 24 Amps each, so assuming they are rated fairly accurately, that shouldn't actually be an issue. |

| 1224623 | 2011-08-20 06:50:00 | So you're saying this PSU is sufficient and I don't need to replace it. And I should remove the thermal paste off of the Heatsink and CPU and apply just a small amount, and flatten it with a spatula/spoon other flat object. And then delete the partion off of my hardrive and install a fresh copy of win7, because the drivers for the mobo are probably inaccurate? And then most likely my random shutdown issue will be solved? | Norseguy (12873) | ||
| 1224624 | 2011-08-20 06:59:00 | Yup, just put a bit of paste in the middle. When you put the heatsink on it. that'll spread it anyway. Get most of the paste you've put on already off first, before you put some more paste on it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

The instructions that paul gave are spot on :thumbs: This video on Youtube (www.youtube.com) shows it should be done -- Not big blobs of paste all over everything. Having to much can cause as many problems as to little ( as agent pointed out). If you have a old install of Windows on a new board, while it sometimes does work, it can also give many problems - refer back to what Paul wrote. Its easier to do things correctly first time than spend hours ( days) :D fixing problems. No guarantee even after doing things correctly you wont have problems --Welcome to the world of servicing PC's ;) |

| 1224626 | 2011-08-20 08:43:00 | Okay when I get home I will try these suggestions. I'm just wondering how will I install a new copy if the mouse and keyboard will not work until I reach the log-in screen. | Norseguy (12873) | ||
| 1224627 | 2011-08-20 08:52:00 | Oh my gosh, I have like a soda bottle cap amount currently on mine LOLOL. I'll clean all of this off and re apply the silver and see if the mouse keyboard issue fixes itself. | Norseguy (12873) | ||

I'm just wondering how will I install a new copy if the mouse and keyboard will not work until I reach the log-in screen. When you boot from the Windows DVD, the mouse and keyboard should work, its not running from the OS but the DVD. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1224629 | 2011-08-20 09:42:00 | Okay well I put the windows CD in and restarted and it just went to my log in screen. I can't get into menu to change it to boot from CD because the keyboard and mouse doesn't work. This is puzzling. | Norseguy (12873) | ||
| 1224630 | 2011-08-20 09:43:00 | So you're saying this PSU is sufficient and I don't need to replace it. If its dual 12v rails with 25 Amps each are to be believed, then it should be OK (for powering your system) However being a Raidmax, my concern would be with the quality of the unit, and how long it would last... Oh my gosh, I have like a soda bottle cap amount currently on mine LOLOL. I'll clean all of this off and re apply the silver and see if the mouse keyboard issue fixes itself. Yeah, a truckload of thermal paste won't help, although I don't see how it would cause problems with the mouse and keyboard unless you managed to short something out with it or cause damage in some way |

| 1224631 | 2011-08-20 09:56:00 | Well the keyboard and mouse do work once I get to the log in screen. I google'd this exact problem and one person said after he updated his BIOS through the website this issue was resolved. But the first thing I will do once I am home is remove the 10 pounds of thermal paste, and reapply and even out a small amount. Because the moment I start downloading or installing, or doing something that would cause the CPU temps to rise I'm quite sure it will just shut off. If this doesn't work I'm out of ideas. I'd like to see what the cpu temps is doing when it shuts off but I can't exactly download a fan or something to show me... because it would well.. shut off. It seems highly likely the cpu is overheating. Reason being, after it shuts off if I attempt to immediately turn it back on it will just shut off a second later, and you have to give it about 30-60 seconds before it will turn back on fully. When I first booted it up it stayed on for quiet some time. And I let it idle at the log in screen for 10 mins and it didn't shut down. But when I go and do something CPU dependent it shuts down. So I conclude it must be overheating... |
