hey guys.. a bit of help if you wouldnt mind...
im a bit of a newbie so please dont take my ignorance as actual ignorance...
i posted up in general about 2 weeks ago about a system i saw for sale on the net.. and you guys pointed me away from the mass retail type system and instead to pay a bit more and get a decent bespoke system from components or a member on here.
as it was.. i found one that satisfied my requirements and stretched the budget a bit and found one from a member here.. here are the specs of the computer...
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping 2.66GHz Retail
Asus P6T Motherboard
XFX ATI Radeon HD 4890 XT 1024MB
OCZ Gold 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply
Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache
Akasa AK-967 Nero Direct Contact Heatpipe CPU Cooler
Pioneer DVR-216DBK 20x DVD±RW SATA Dua
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache
Akasa AK-967 Nero Direct Contact Heatpipe CPU Cooler
Pioneer DVR-216DBK 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter
Netgear Wireless USB adapter
anyway the pc arrived today and so set about putting the image together. i have windows 7 32 and 64 bit to use.. but i was told it should run 64 bit ok.. so this i shall start with.
the pc arrived and the akasa nero heatsink was limp.. attached by the bottom 2 clamps but the top two and screw had come loose in the case.. so i detached it and re-screwed in the top clamp and then attached to the cpu.
anyway.. sorry to go on.. but basically the pc keeps shutting down and its because of an cpu temp error message..
"CPU over temperature error!
press F1 to continue"
then i press f1 and the windows disc starts again as if it had never installed before..im assuming because when it gets to the part that it needs to restart, this interrupts the installation process....
if i dont press f1.. nothing happens.
so in short. it wont boot up properly because of the cpu heat/temp message
any ideas please folks.. it was fully tested before, and fully working.. i dont know how he cpu could be so hot with 4 fans and not being used under proper load?
thanx in advance
dave
