1118075 2010-07-13 10:37:00 Also check out the CD which should have been supplied with your motherboard for the flash utility. Your motherboard comes with a utility called ezyflash so you can flash the BIOS using windows. You also have a crash free BIOS so you can restore if anything goes wrong. You should also have a motherboard manual.

Do you have both of those?

Yep. I put FSX on there last night and it runs very well.

Just got to find out what the story is with the temperatures of the CPU, graphics card and the hard drive.

1118081 2010-07-15 23:35:00 Yup its free. And shows you everything in a system. Just remember to untick the ask toolbar stuff, before you install it. You dont need it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1118082 2010-07-16 00:41:00 Will it shut down the computer when it gets too hot? I am only using the heatsink that came with the CPU and the fan also came with it. QW. (15883)
1118083 2010-07-16 00:42:00 You can set all that up in the BIOS. Unless you're overclocking you shouldn't be running into any temp issues at all. wratterus (105)
1118084 2010-07-16 00:44:00 You can set the PC to shutdown in the BIOS if overheating.

The stock heatsink and fan should be fine if fitted correctly and you are not overclocking.
