Was yours overclocked by any chance? Mine is running at stock 3.4ghz. Also I do plan on purchasing a Cooler Master TX3 to alleviate my heat issues. My case is a Cooler Master 310, I wasn't sure if a 212 would fit in it.

It turns out the problem was the mobo, after searching online for a solution it appears that others with the same mobo and cpu have the exact same issue as me. Setting it to "Power Saver" mode fixes the heat issue as it lowers the voltages to 1.1v which in turn makes my pc run cooler at around...

Alright after doing some more research I just found out that I can't manually set voltages for my mobo (M3A76-CM) as it only gives me 4 options which are power savings mode, standard, +50mv or +100mv. It seems that others with the same mobo and cpu have the same issues as me. Only work around I...

Also could it be dust that is causing my cpu voltage to increase? There seems to be an accumulation of dust on the heatsink of my cpu.

I don' think I've got a choice here as my voltages are at 1.5v and that's at stock, it's supposed to be at 1.4v max. This causes it to heat up but I just noticed that if I choose "Power saver" option the temps drop to 30's. Right now it heats up to 50+ celsius and it's not even under load.

Hey all, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this and basically I'm just trying to lower the voltages on my cpu. When I went into my BIOS all I got were these options. So how do I lower voltages? Also my cpu is a Phenom 965 @ 3.4ghz stock, Asus Cool & Quiet says it's on 1.5v when I hit the...

I'm using the stock cooler and the thermal paste is already applied. After doing some more research the problem is caused by my high voltages. Apparently it's supposed to be 1.4v max but mine is on 1.5v. Now the question is, how do I change the voltages of my cpu?

Hey all I seem to be having heating issues with my Phenom 965 and I think my problem is due to high voltages. My temperatures rises to 60+ just by watching HD livestreams on twitch.tv. My question is are my voltages correct? "Balanced Mode" on my Power settings, Asus Cool & Quiet show my Mhz...

Yup I'm an idiot, it turns out that James was right all along. I just had to push the ram inside a bit more to make it clip in. My PC works again, thanks for all the help yall! :D:)

Well this sucks big time, I guess m only options are a) Buy a new prebuilt rig and pass this pc on to my little bro in hopes that he will manage to fix it someday. b) buy new ram again. or c) buy a new mobo, ram, and os and swap the parts. :(

Well I just installed the v-color ram and the problem persists. I don't see how it would suddenly not work when I've been using this for the past 4 years now. :/

The Crucial ram is http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC2-6400-240-Pin-Desktop-CT2KIT25664AA800/dp/B0011A4UZE/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1389131587&sr=1-8&keywords=ram+ddr2 Well I just took out the crucial ram and just installed the generic v-color ram and the problem is still persisting...

Motherboard is an M3A76-CM Ram is Crucial 2GB X2 and another generic 2GB X 2 generic ram. They're both DDR2 240-pin Well, I just took out the new Corsair PSU and reinstalled my old PSU and now the problem is still happening. =/ Which leads me to believe that the Corsair psu works but something...

Hey all, I installed a new Corsair Cx 500 psu and now when I power on my pc the monitor won't turn on and neither will my mouse and keyboard. There's light in the mobo and all the fans are working when I power it on. So what gives?:??: Also is it possible that this issue is caused by ram? I...
