just built this pc / one I'm using now.
generaly ok but not right.
problems as follows.
no cpu fan output
doesn't boot first time - turn on i get the usual noises and lights but no screen (also cpu heatsink fan races / its pluged into sys fan 1)then i reset and turn on again same noises & lights fan slows and screen appears off I go, sometimes with a windows failed to start message / start as normal
clearly something is amiss.
pc is as follows:
q6600/stock cooler for now
gigabyte ds3r
2gig ballistix 5300
8800GTS 512 / the new one.
samsung 500gig sata2 hdd
pioneer dvdrw
epsilon 700w psu.
stuffed into a coolermaster dominator case.
first thing that I think is mobo isn't right as no cpu fan - on power up it twitches once but no more.
I got it off the MM previous owner was on water - is there a setting that blind me has missed? - I have enabled and disabled cpu fan fail & temp warning in bios but no change - and loaded fail safe defaults.
the only other thing I was thinking of is the gfx as the new gts is PCI express 2.0 and the ds3r isn't - but wouldn't that just not work at all? when it is going it all seems to operate as normal, making me think it isn't the problem?
the bios on the ds3r is f2 so I'll try the newest one.
what you think?
