<0> DR D R 3
<1> just installed a new psu, and for some reason the processor fan is running at above 3,000 rpms
<1> this is on a new build
<2> sounds normal if you're not using fan control
<1> ok
<1> if my case fans are not spinning should i halt setup to connect them a different way?
<2> if they're not spinning, that's bad.
<2> are they connected?
<1> To the "fan only" powers
<2> then the PSU probably thinks the case is cool enough to not need the fans to spin.
<2> keep your eyes on em.
<1> ok
<3> silence is golden :)
<1> My cpu is 40 degrees idle
<1> and rising...
<0> 40 idle is not THAT much
<0> unless its amd
<0> then its pretty bad
<4> Yeah
<1> it is amd
<1> balls
<1> It is the first time the pc is being configured
<4> My AMD X2 3800+ w/ a Thermalright XP-90c and 92mm OEM fan runs 24 idle, 34 under load
<4> Stainer: clean the fans, and make sure there's a quick router for air to travel over the fan on the proc, or that there's a pipe going off the proc to the side of the case
<1> there is
<4> alright then
<1> arg
<4> That's idle?
<4> Damn
<4> What proc?
<1> well, it's in the initial bios of a newly put together pc
<4> DAMN
<4> What processor?
<1> amd 64 3700+ 939 socket
<4> ****
<4> That's not too bad for the 3700, a little on the high side
<4> invest in a nice heatsink
<4> copper
<1> well, it is the default one
<1> Doesn't the bios count as highly straining?
<4> No.
<4> BIOS is extremely light strain
<1> WEll, the cpu's fan is going crazy
<4> Because it requires Windows w/ drivers to use cool & quiet to keep it slow
<1> The pc is brand new, though, and has not even had a windows installed.
<1> For some reason the pc refuses to boot the os, though, maybe it is because i had tried to install it before on my hd when the pc shut off during installation?
<1> It shut off when it was partitioning the hd
<4> That sounds like the proc is bad and over heating, or the mobo is bad
<4> try the proc in a diff board
<1> well, the power supply was bad
<1> i took it in to comp usa, and they checked it for free and told me so
<1> It hasn't done that since
<1> but i can't get the os to install
<1> it won't detect the cd or something
<4> sounds like the mb then
<1> wtf
<1> that's gay
<1> I am not going to replace the mb
<1> It detects the device in the biod
<1> bios*
<1> I can't get the damn heatsink clip down...
<1> yay, i got it.
<1> Maybe that will help some...
<1> Plus, i have to wait for the heatsink stuff to melt onto the psu
<1> cpu*
<5> whats multipler range for?
<1> ****
<1> now i boot, and i get 5 beeps with no screen on the monitor
<5> your manual should indicate what those beeps mean
<6> hi
<1> This happened directly after i connected a cd rom drive on master setting with the secondary ide slot on the motherboard
<6> any one know if i dont set p***word on bios i cant clock?
<6> overclock*
<7> anyone got a Windows xp home edition S/N
<4> amd we don't give out warez
<4> huxlo: no you can OC without a bios pw
<6> you sure?
<6> i cant put up mhz on cpu
<6> but i can sett up ram timming
<6> s maby my stupid hk is like that?
<6> so*
<6> i call it stupid since i cant get my amd64bit 2.4ghz 3800+ clocke :)
<6> i try sett p***word
<6> mayby i can then?
<6> i tryu
<1> So if when i turn on my pc there is just a bunch of beeping is that a very bad sign? No video is shown on the screen
<1> I hope the beeping pattern will be helpful
<8> yes thats a very bad sign
<8> could possibly be motherboard
<9> uhh, no
<8> what lights light up on the back of it
<1> back of what?
<8> what color are they rather
<9> make sure your RAM is seated, and your video card is too
<1> i get about five beeps
<8> checj ran kuje SEAHAWKZ said.. when my ram messed up it gave some beeps
<8> wtf
<9> and it just stops or it pauses and repeats?
<8> check the ram like SEAHAWKZ said.. when my ram messed up it gave some beeps
<1> stops
<1> the beeping stops, and i cannot see anything on the screen
<9> on the back of most current Dell systems (if I remember correctly, that's what you have?)
<1> no
<9> there are 4 LEDs
<1> i just ordered all new parts
<1> and i put it all together myself
<9> oh, well then
<8> stainer72: cool
<8> you got rid of the dell?
<1> no
<1> it is the family pc
<1> First, my psu died on the one i just bought.
<1> This is before anything was even installed
<1> now i tried to install a ide drive to the secondary drive slot without anything in the main one. Now i have the problems
<1> maybe it will fix itself in a bit or something.
<4> uh
<4> if you try and slave it without having a master
<4> it no worky
<1> yea, but i took out all the cables, and it still is not booting
<9> not true
<8> stainer: check the ram
<8> make sure it snaps in place
<1> it is
<1> shouldn't my manual tell me about the beeps?
<8> yeah
<8> make sure your ram's timings are properly set... make sure the rams in the first two slots and not spread apart.
<8> flash the bios
<9> he can't really flash the bios of it won't POST
<1> this is so gay
<1> I can't find the section in the manual
<0> woah no no no
<0> the ram should not be in a pair
<0> it should be in slots 1 and 3
<0> or 2 and 4
<1> it is
<0> stainer describe the beeps to me
<0> on startup
<1> let me go listen again
<1> it is five short beeps
<8> my system runs with the ram side by side
<8> slots 1 and 2
<8> installed another one in the 3rd slot
<0> if its dual channel i believe it will have problems
<8> mines dual channel
<8> its ddr2 so that may be different
<0> then you are lowering preformance a lot by not having them in the correct slots
<0> it wont read them as dual channel
<8> they're running in dual channel
<8> i checked them
<0> mm alright
<0> but thats not how they should be
