| 549849 | 2007-05-14 22:44:00 | Is the heatsink on the CPU mounted properly? CPU temp may be climbing to point where system shuts down. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 549850 | 2007-05-14 22:52:00 | Yea the heat sink is installed properly, but i will double check!! | cotutaha (12204) | ||

| 549852 | 2007-05-15 02:14:00 | As mentioned before its possibly a heat issue, check out the Arctic Silver website for the correct way to apply thermal paste and remount the heatsink. It could also be a power issue, a 430w Pure Power is probably boarder line for that system. Do you plug in the all the power connectors to the motherboard, this includes the 4pin and and 24pin connectors. I have a suspicion the 430w Pure Powers dont have the correct motherboard connectors. |

| 549853 | 2007-05-15 02:51:00 | The 20+4 connector has probably been snapped to fit the older board, he just needs to incl the other 4 at the end. (correct way around of course) | SolMiester (139) | ||
