When you you did your recent re-install - how did you get your key?

Was about a year and a half a go now, I tried doing a fresh install of Windows but messed it up somehow and had to get a new key, I can't remember exactly what I did now. To get the new key though I contacted Windows chat and they were very good at giving me a new one.

I know is you are mate, appreciate it. Everything is connected except USB 3. Hard drives. Case Audio.

F6 is the latest BIOS for my board correct?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:10

That's the one.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:12

Shall I try boot up then?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:18

Pressed power switch and nothing turns on. Maybe I haven't got the F connector right..

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:20

Yep to both.

No got nothing from it. Still really confused about f header, I plugged them in to the adapter that came with the board, still don't get it.

Board - zero movement in riser?

GPU secured properly

Check PSU again -including cable

try different DDR4_2

Shall I not check that I have f header in right place first as if it isn't pressing the power switch isn't going to do anything is it?

Don't know which is positive and negative as both cables are black.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:39

We are in the BIOS

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:40

Greeted with a message "Bios has been reset, please re config your bios setup items if needed"

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:45

Restarted. Got the same message.

Why did it suddenly boot? - important that i know

Got the F panel connectors in the right way

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:48

Gives me option to press ok so think it may go to main menu after that. Shall I connect keyboard?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:51

I should add that message displays inside of what looks like the BIOS.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 19:59

Looks like I only have USB 3 with this case. No 2.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 20:07

How do I see CPU temps? I'm in bios now.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 20:10

I got it. At 34c exactly stable.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 20:19

Dropped to 32 for a few seconds. No higher than 34. The CPU frequency and Memory frequency are jumping up and down a lot.
