First I preface this with an apology for my inexperience. Bear with me. First homebuilt rig, so its been a learning process.
So I just installed a new cpu fan. Took a ah heck to get it to fit. Annnnd. Well its weird. I start up the computer. starts running. Takes longer than usualy to get to the "hit del to enter setup" page, but seems to be running fine. Then it gets to the Post message, or stays on the "setup" page, and just shuts down. Sometimes I can make it to the BIOS and check out the setup, but a few seconds in FWOOSH, it just shuts down like someone unplugged it. The first time I started it up it said "CPU Settings have changed, check CMOS". Well that makes sense. I installed a new processor right? But now its just powering down. I have checked all the plugs. Everything seems snug. Weird it is.
So here is the specs:
3.4 pentium d
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler : Link
Nvidia GeForce 9800 gtx+
550 watt psu
2 gigs of ram
So anyone have an idea?
