maybe the heatsink on the processor wasnt applied right. One day i was messing around and wiped the heatsink off an old pentium d and it would even boot to windows before in shut off.
I went into the BIOS and messed with the DRAM settings and I think I seriously messed up my computer's hardware! My RAM is qualified for 1066 MHz with a 5-5-5-15 timing. I changed it to that in the BIOS this morning and it booted to Windows just fine. So I go to school but when I come back and try to turn on my computer, it won't boot to anything. I unplug the power and make sure everyhting is on right.. Everything looks legit. I turn it on. The fans and LEDs go on for half a second then go off. 2 seconds later they go on again and it boots. Phew! But, I go into the BIOS and change it all back to default settings. The computer restarts, but it won't boot again. I figure I'll unplug it and wait then start it again. That worked! WTF!?!?! Anyway I go to play Spore, and the starting movie seems really jerky. I start playing, but the game run VEEEERRRY SLOOOOWLYYYY. The framerate is high, but the gameplay is slow. I tune down the grphics settings and nothing happens. Can someone please help. Sorry for the Wall-o-text btw. lol.
PC Probe says my mobo is at 47C. is that too hot? A warning popped up. When I boot, it will be on for 2 seconds then off for two seconds, the on again when it boots to windows. I had just recently change the DRAM settings to the manufacture recommendations (1066MHz, 5-5-5-15). I changed back though now because it was freaking me out. Could any of this be a probem? What's going on?
