I just built my first PC and I've run into a couple problems I can't find any definitive answers to, here's my specs before we kick this off:
OS: Vista 64-bit
Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 Black Edition 3.4Mhz (stock fan)
Gfx Card: Asus Geforce GTX 670
Mobo: Asrock N68C-GS FX
Memory: 16GB Corsair Vengeance
Bios: 1.2
Firstly my cpu fan is just going nuts, I can't get it to calm down unless I get OCtuner on and manually turn it down. Something must be wrong because when booting up it will start off at max RPM. Also when booting up it takes quite a while before it gets to the Asrock splash page, it roughly takes 5-6 seconds, initially when I first started trying to boot up my pc from the beginning I thought the display wasn't working at all, it's very odd that it takes this long.
Next in line is instant boot. It was working at some point, but then when I tried to test it out it started saying the driver cannot load, the same thing happens when I try and use the Asrock driver/utilities disc that came with the mobo :s
The restart button doesn't work, I fiddled with a myriad of combinations with the cables and the power button always worked but the restart doesn't; the layout on the system panel header in the manual is as such:
Top pin 1 Pled+
Bottom pin 1 HDled+
Top pin 2 Pled-
Bottom pin 2 HDled-
Top pin 3 PwrBtn#
Bottom pin 3 GND
Top pin 4 GND
Bottom pin 4 Rest#
Top pin 5 Blank
Bottom pin 5 Dummy
Lastly, and here's the kicker, my CPU and Vcore settle at around 40-45C with a lowered voltage AND under clocking; all others are at 33-37C and this is during idle. I ran prime95 and the cpu/vcore temperature just kept climbing while everything else was pretty much staying the same. I get pretty average fps while playing games like 20-30 fps which is quite baffling because these specs are much much better than my old and seem to be pushing the same fps rates over a myriad of games.
So someone please help! Pretty please!! D':
