I need some help with my PC.
I have read a lot of threads here, and thought that I would build a nice new PC, well, then all the trouble started.
I have built a lot of PC's before, but never had problems like these.
My PC consists of the following:
Asus P5Q3 Deluxe Wifi-Ap @n
Asus EAH3850X2 1Gb Screen Card
Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/4G 2x2Gb Ram
Intel E8400 3,16Ghz CPU
Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 1Tb Hard Drive 2 pcs. (one in a removable Chieftec tray)
ASUS Triton 78 120mm CPU Cooler
NorthQ 52-in-1 Card Reader
Cooler Master M620 Power Supply
2 extra 120mm Scythe Utra Kaze Case Fans
NorthQ 2201 Kabinet
Acer Ferrari 22” Screen
Logitech MX5500 Keyboard & Mouse Combo
DVD SH-S223Q DVD Writer
Windows Vista Ultimate English Version
First of all, the computer restarts and freezes… All the time – I have used 3 hours to write this so far.
Every time I boot the PC it stalls, until I tried to restore it to an earlier point – that helped so far, but the system is very unstable.
The next problem is the screen – it gets quite dull now and then, and if I reboot – all is fine again – especially when I have had the case open and inserted a new item – HDD and so on..
The next problem is the screen card – it makes quite a lot of noise – the noise comes and goes.
I have tried to download the fix for this problem from the ASUS homepage, but no luck installing it – Windows will not accept it. It seems to need a signature.
The PC restarts itself now and then, without confirmation.
I seem to have a lot of trouble with my new system, and truly hope that someone can help me, because I am totally lost!
When I installed Windows it seemed to work fine until I installed the Motherboards installation Cd’s.
I also found that some windows updates has caused trouble.
I have reinstalled windows a dozen times, and have had no luck getting it right.
The WIFI-Ap does not work well either – other PC ‘s is not able to connect to the PC wirelessly.
I wonder if it might be the ram? Could it be that is might be the wrong type?
I looked on Kingstons homepage, and they recommend this specific type for this motherboard.
Should I just get Windows Xp, and would that solve my problems? Or should I buy another motherboard?
Is there anyone that might be able to tell me how to configure the BIOS settings, because I have tried looking in the users manual, but no luck – the problem is that I have set all the settings to the default, but I am not sure that everything is as it should be.
PLEASE HELP!
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
PS. My Cpu is running round about 30*degrees Celsius.
