Greetings;
Anyway, after putting new RAM (2x2gb DDR2), my PC is significantly louder than before, it's like a small airplane now, while before you could only hear the HDD clicking.
Before the upgrade, there were 2x512mb sticks (SS) and one 1gb stick (DS) - if that is relevant in any way.
I opened the case to see where the noise is coming from, and I believe it is the GPU fan working like hell. Another change I noticed after the upgrade is that, in the task manager, it is shown that the CPU usage is fluctuating in wierd ways, most of the time it shows 0% usage, or under 5-6%.
The computer recognizes the new RAM, no problem there.
A person with the same problem, as I read, solved it by updating the BIOS, but since this is the latest version (2008., go figure), that's not an option.
Configuration:
Mobo: GA-EP31-DS3L
CPU: Intel E8400 3,00Ghz
GPU: Radeon HD 4870 1GB DDR5
RAM: 2x 2 GB DDR2 Transcend 800Mhz
