3stars Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 have you got all three power leads pluged into the board,main 24 pin molex and floppy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrick Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 yep, all 3 power leads plugged in. not sure what a PWM is but the chipset and processor are running cool enough (the chipset fan revs up more when i'm running both graphics cards but not constantly) I have noticed that it doesn't freeze up so much anymore though the restart issue is the same. I'll try your suggestions and report soon. I was chatting to another repair shop and the guy recons that most dual core processors require a single 12v rail power supply to work affectively and that they tend to freeze during gaming up otherwise. something to do with voltage stability. anyone else heard about this?

Sharp Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 He is not quite right about that, when the first dual rail power supplies came out there were a few issues with how the power was distributed. If too much was taken from one rail it would cause problems but that was for any pc not just a dual core cpu. Now things are different and this is no longer an issue.

VicY Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I have a similar problem. Since I upgrade my CPU, it won't boot instantly. It will boot eventually after I keep trying for a long time - turn it on, 4 led or 3 led, unplug power, push power switch several times, plug it back in and turn in on again and keep repeating for 5-10 mins. If it don't work, than just let it sit for a hour and keep trying. I have not turn off my computer for months because of this problem. Funny thing is if I restart from window, it boots up everytimes. I just installed a new hd-dvd/blueray combo drive last night and had to turn off the power. Now it won't start again.:mad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Could be your power supply, how old is it and what is the wattage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicY Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 My power supply is less than a year old and it's 550 watt. It start up last night several times but I have to clear CMOS for about 10 mins before it t turn on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanibanez Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Hey Jarrick, You said you had "all 3" power plugs in the board? There are actually 4 spots to plug in power on a Lanparty.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loggan26 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Hey Jarrick, You said you had "all 3" power plugs in the board? There are actually 4 spots to plug in power on a Lanparty.... No Jarrick is correct, he is running an Expert mobo if you look at his sig, your is an Ultra-D the boards are different and as such his only has 3 power connectors, dont get the boards or the OP mixed up Logan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
