Hi all, I am having some serious problems with my PC, hopefully someone can help! The specs are: 500 Watt PSU MSI NEO4 Platinum Mainboard Athlon 64 3800+ 939 pin Akasa Evo 120 CPU fan 2x 1GB RAM PCI-E Geforce 6800 GT 200 GB SATA2 HDD (primary) 160 GB IDE HDD (secondary) 16X DVD R Drive It was working fine except it would over heat when playing some games or when doing other processor intensive work. I thought it would therefore be a good idea to install a new fan. I replaced the stock fan with the Akasa Evo 120 as per the installation instructions and everything seemed to go fine. When turning on the PC, it loaded windows but after about 3 seconds on desktop, it restarted. Then when it got to the screen that asks if you want to start in safe mode etc. whichever option I chose it just restarted again (without loading windows) so I got stuck in a loop. However it got worse... I tried to enter the BIOS but it went to a black screen with a flashing white cursor in the top left corner so I turned the PC off. I just turned it on again and for a split second got a black screen with loads of coloured and flashing letters! It may have been an error screen but it was black, not blue. It happened so fast I couldn't see what it said. Then it proceeded to the safe mode etc. screen but after about 5 seconds, before I chose an option, it simply switched off. Could it be the processor is knackered? If so, will I be able to get a new one with the warranty? Any help much appreciated! b0x3d
Thanks for your reply! It's actually 400W sorry for the typo: NorthQ 4001BX, ATX 400W, 120mm Blue LED Fan, 12-17dBA, 4xSATA, PCI-E, 20/24pin http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=309427&cks=PRL
