Hi All, just joined with a random question throwing together a pc, havent done this for a while but bit by bit, it's coming together; spec is:
Amd fx 8320 Asus m5a97 evo r2.0 8gb ripjaws 1600 Few hdd in there Psu 500, but 800 on route
Guy I bought a few bit from was reporting cpu issues so I got the board cheap and cpu, put it all togeather with new fan and thermo paste, still having issues, so I took a look in bios I can see cpu voltage sitting at 3.3v but after 20-30 secs drops to 2.9v and turns gpu/monitor off and I get a flashing led on cpu motherboard led?
Anyone know an answer to this one or had similar or is the cpu knackered or do I dare contact AMD?
Cheers
David
 
Solution
CPU voltage can't be 3.3v, no chance, would have burned by it. Max CPU voltage on that processor is 1.5v. Starting voltage should be around 1.350v.
