My computer is hosed up and I don't have time to try and fix it/post a long thread in Haus of Tech Support but I wanted to see if I'm on the right track-- I just put together this build, plus an HD 4870 GPU from 2007. It worked great for a couple of weeks, then abruptly shut off out of nowhere. When I tried to turn it on for the next hour or two, the lights on the case and GPU and the case fans would come on, but the CPU fan and the GPU fan would not. I made sure the cables/jumpers/cards were plugged in so I don't think it's that. A couple hours later the computer started normally. I'm eyeing the GPU, since it's ancient and has been pretty loud lately, but I'm wondering if it's possible for a GPU to cause the CPU fan to not spin? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here.

Is this normal behavior for a CPU fan on startup? (the stop/start) I just replaced the motherboard because the CPU fan wasn't spinning up at all half the time, so I'm not sure if it's fixed or if this is a sign that I'm going to keep having problems.

I have a power supply question--I have a fairly barebones desktop rig with a DVD-R drive, SSD, HDD, and a wireless card. It's running off a 550W PSU right now. If I want to put a GTX 970 or 980 in there, should I be worried about upgrading the power supply, or am I safe?

I just installed a 4790k on a new motherboard. I don't know why there are 7 temperatures, or why 3 of them are over 100C. Am I about to burn my house down, or is this normal? Edit: I'm a loving idiot, those are from the motherboard, not the CPU Haledjian fucked around with this message at 07:18 on May 25, 2016 |
