MauveCloud, Thanks again for responding, and I'd like to apologize for disappearing on you - I've been really busy over the last few days. I tracked down the problem. The backplate of the Hyper 212 Evo was causing the issue. Once I replaced it with the stock Intel cooler, I put everything back...

The case is an Antec 900. The PSU is a Corsair 750 GS. The motherboard is a GA-Z77X-D3H. The processor is an i5 3570k. The cooler is a Hyper 212 Evo. The RAM is Corsair Vengeance 4GB (x4). The video card is a Radeon HD 5850. I've just done the external build, and once again it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the response. :) The PSU is hooked up to everything, and I've re-inserted everything just to double-check. The side of the motherboard which isn't supported is on the inside of the case if you know what I mean; it's beside the HDD rather than being at the back of the case. I've taken...

Hi all, A few months ago I built a computer. It worked for two days and then stopped booting. I've since replaced the motherboard and the PSU, and there's been no improvement. Earlier today I put together an external build and it was successful. So then I connected everything inside the case...

I'll try that. Thanks! :)

Hi all, I recently built a computer which was a combination of new parts and those scavenged from my previous system. Initially it worked fine except that it was incapable of recognizing the video card. Even programs such as HWMonitor and GPU-Z failed to detect it. The next day the computer...

Hi all, Due to a limited budget, I'm thinking of buying the following; ■Antec 900 ■i5 3570k ■CM Hyper 212 Evo Is hitting 4.5 realistic, or is the 212 Evo just not good enough to get me that far? I know it's impossible to say for sure, but I'd like to have a solid 4.5 OC on my CPU if possible...

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my existing computer to something that'll perform better with new games. I tend to favour MMOs, which are more CPU taxing than most. My current plan is to replace the CPU, RAM, MoBo and OS (stupid OEM...), though that's obviously up to you. The existing computer...
