Pc failure help

Yeah I did. I didnt mention that part. But thank you for covering it anyway. Thank you for helping. I just don't know what's going on. As now it worked with just the power switch and no reset pin connected. But who knows. After two hours fo example tonight or bios idling and I then power off. it might just power right back on again and be back where I was lol
 
I will test when I get home. I'm never holding the button I believe. Not recently anyway. Just pressing it once quickly like this morning turned it off. The same as turning it on.

Same with my old setup. But I've also had a lot of times when I've held it for the same affect. Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks
 
My last build. From what I remember clicking shut down made it shut down. Sorry I didn't answer. I can't remember. I think it just did as it should have.

It's just like to works . Then suddenly days later or whatever. It does or did what it did last night.

Okay so just now I plugged just the reset 2pin into the power pins both ways. Right side up and the other just to cover that base. Pressing power actually achieves nothing and it didn't power on or anything. I then pulled out that reset pin and left it out. I then pushed the power pin into its power slot and then powered on the pc . I then held the power button and after 2-4 seconds it powered off and hasn't instantly powered back on either.
 
I'm following the video you posted now to the tee on wife's laptop, I can't remember what you mentioned about 'clicky' site . But I can just follow that video?

Hopefully there isn't actually an issue lol thanks :)
 
I'm following the video to the tee. No problems so far.

Ive done this whole thread via my mobile. I think I'm doing alright tbh lol

delivery of my SSD and cable was meant for today but no one was in and he didn't leave the parcel. So I rang up CS and told them it's vital. I got a call from their delivery hub at lunch time telling me theyll attempt again nearer the end of their delivery route today. Which is good news :D
 
When you say format, are you meaning the 7 drive? Thats to clear the old OS and everything I presume? I've never gone into an old OS on a drive before to get data back, hoping it just a massive list of directories and data.

Drivers are my main aim atm. I ll get it booting from usb bios. And installing os on new SSD. Then change boot to from ssd . Then get on os get net and start getting all updates and drivers. I want max stability and comfort. So I ll then start changing the layout and everything. I adore w7 layout.

All the HDDs and SSDs are installed and powered atm. Just not sata connected.

Yeah I mostly grew out of text speak many many years ago. But I still use quite a few abbreviations I think. I love a powerful, battery efficiency, open source based mobile.

Chip set drivers means mobo drivers right? Not CPU drivers? Or them too?

I ll keep the cable I guess :p
 
Usb is ready.

Me and Bruce waiting for SSD to arrive. He's running late.

Also I havnt done mega reading on it yet. But I've changed the sys fans to DC and turned on the fan mode or whatever it's called. Their rpm dropped from 750 to like high 600s. Also the CPU fan I've noticed has changed from whatever it was on , to auto. Resulting I noticed in rpm going from 1000 to 2000. Not sure if that's too high or not. But the temps gone from ,40c to idle at 31c for cpu and board lol
 
Okay W10 is now running. Doing updates atm and searching for drivers. Started with the board driver. Downloaded it. But it doesn't seem to be a simple .exe or whatever. I havnt done anything yet as I'm questioning here but its talking about flashing the bios or something? Am I on the right path? :D

Edit. I've worked it out lol
 
Yeah from the looks of it the old w7 OS SSD I cant get what I need from it. All thats on it is like lists of softwares and just useless data too me. No actual juicey normal person data. I want one folder that I filled with data on the desktop. Cant find any desktop folder tbh. Anything labled 'desktop' displays as empty via 'treesize' and is empty. maybe all of it is just lost? Unless I'm totally missing a method I'll just wipe it I guess lol
 
I'm using CPUID HWMonitor to monitor fans and temps and such, the cpu temp like changes every 1-3 seconds and jumps around, is that normal? because when i watch the cpu temp in bios it moves much much less frequently , is it really moving that much because im just sat barely doing much on the desktop?
 
hmmm i can see all the cores, but they display in W's I think

as an example, id watch the temps under system, PCH, MOS, the CPU, and cpu, for Value, I'll just list the numbers now as it goes, as it seems to refresh every few seconds anyway. mostly idling on w10 atm, like 10 tabs/steam and 1 youtube video. 49/46/53/48/45/42/40/45/42/48/44/42/49/45/43//48/44/42/51/50/49/48/55/50/56/51/47/55/50/46/42/41/39/44

pc has been running since lunch

at those temps , the cpu fan runs roughly between 2100 and 2300 rpm.

tbh im not sure yet, but i think I can hear it quite a lot lol , i think i'll getting something beefier in the future, i need to do research and find out how much of an improvement i can get sound and temp wise

PC is doing great now, thank you for all your help, I cant thank you enough. the quality of your replies and the quick responsiveness is impressive to say the least.
 
when ive bought it, gamed all this morning, temps are between 40-64 , tbh i think temps are averaging like 50-55 , maybe 60 at points, but its never maxed past 64 yet. ive played around with all the fans curves now, mostly all steep tbh. cpu fan is like max 2600rpm most of the time lol, tbh its not that noisey, its noticable , but wife said its not bad. but its annoying me as i know the Noctua would destroy it, it appears like the best one out there, although they do do two types , a 1 tower and 2 tower, i cant remember which did better in the video i watched, i think it was the D15 one , im interested to see the temp difference :D
 
I want the best for my CPU without blowing too much money. That cooler seems on par with the d15 stats wise. I mean. Is it one you use? Or would use?

I'm very tempted by it and its designed so I can run a push pull with 2x120mm , can't find it he single purchase extra fan listing though.

Do you think that on would do the job and save myself 30£? I mean if it's for the sake of 1degree then it's worth saving th cash. It's just the main impact of the upgrade in the firstplace that's mainly what I'm after I guess . I gotta be careful I don't start wasting Vs valu for what I get back
 
Thanks.

I'm going to go by all the temps and noise I currently have. And hope that the new one improves both. When I play the game I average 55-65degrees 68 being max I've seen

I feel that's quite high? . When I close the game the temp drops into the very high 40s and it might average at 45 if I'm lucky probably while browsing

What kinda temps are you dealing with usually?
 
just logged on now, idle temps currently, min 45, max 56, current: 50,47,,55,52,50,47,42,41,40,46,42,49,45,,43,52,50,49,50,47,43,50

my temps normally drop as soon as i close the game. i cant remember when i first did that load of temps, if the game was open still or not. they do drop when i close game and other stuff. but the above is just logged on now nothing much open, usual browsing stuff.

mins appearing as 40c as i type now. i normally notice the min keeps slowly creating now mins.

i have four points to move around on the cpu fan curve, i set something like , 100% at 70 90% at 65 80% at 60 then like a 60% at 50 . either way i dont think its registered or ive ran some graph values wrong some how, as the cpu fan hasnt changed and is still spinning at 2600 which maybe is its max? min 39c now

i used the paste that was already applied im using mostly the NZXT fans 120ms and the fans that came with the k2 mount doom cooler too

i was going to do something like this,

100% @ 70C
90% @ 65C
80% @ 60C
70% @ 55C
60% @ 50C
50% @ 45C
40% @ 40C

but i only have 4 points supplied to move on the graph

all the none header fans are like between 800-1100 depending on temp , if gaming, normally all 1100 lets say

Thank you for the advise I will check all that info out. Just for some added in, i stopped playing the game now, but left it all running, while i went and chatted to wife for like an hour, so i came back to some different temps, The Min was the same at 39c, max had increased to 67, and current was 60, i then sat at watched it for a little, min stayed the same of course, max stayed the same, and the current seemed to be 55-60 , interesting temps. 55-60 . im taking it all on board and soaking up all the info , prior to more adjustments and the new main cooler when i get round to buying it . thanks again

edit, 10pm now, i restarted pc after gaming and left it away from keyboard, min 37 max 55, average like 40-48 , coolies :D
