I know this may look a bit essayish but if you could help id be really greatfull!
Well i was running my E2140 at 3.2ghz when it grey screened in game once..not sure what that means but anyway. When i tried restarting the graphics card would whizz up a few times, the computer restarted a few times too and finally posted. I figured it was just down to a poor overclock (although it had been 8hour tested
).
So re-set the bios settings to run 3ghz instead, everything ran fine for a week or so, but today it re-set.
Again the computer just seized up (not even in a game this time, just in general music playing) and had to be re-started.
a lot of pressing the power button later the computers up and running again, but ive no idea what this problem is.
So...
1) Why is the graphics cards fan running at 100% for a few seconds on starting up before failing to post?
2)The fact that it eventually re-starts makes me think it may be a temperature issue. When idle the motherboard runs at ~30c but i noticed that once i got into the bios it stated the motherboard temp was ~50c and the CPU at 24c, something not stacking up ?
3) When i run orthos the motherboard temps rise to ~50c again, only a few degrees less than the CPU temperatures is this ok?
Any help would be really appreciated, im a little puzzled
