Try it with only one stick of RAM. If that fails, try it with the other stick. Sometimes the RAM is causing everything and it shows up as something else. Where did you find that this beep code implies a graphics problem?

Are you sure you plugged in both the 24-pin motherboard connection AND the 4-pin CPU connection? Both need to be plugged in for the system to boot. If you have everything plugged in and you're not getting video output, you have a problem. If your fans spin, then CPU or motherboard is defective...

My monitors were working fine before the update, with my primary at 1080p and 2nd monitor at 1680x1050. After the update, the resolutions for the 2nd monitor dropped to a maximum of 1200x1600 (also a different aspect ratio). I have already tried reinstalling AMD graphics drivers and restarting...

Hello everyone! I've had this build for a while, but it is quite loud for a "silent" case and "silent" cooler. I've plugged the PWM hub into my motherboard, but the motherboard doesn't detect the hubs or the fans. I believe the fans are running at 100%. Additionally, the X61 has a SATA power...

Those temperature are well below (I mean WELL BELOW) the point at which you should start worrying. Not anything about temperatures. Sounds like a motherboard problem to me. Record the blue screen error message and search it up to see if you can find anything relevant. For this, anything is on...

Do the fans spin fine before the OS is loaded? This sounds like a hardware problem to me. Something with your mobo, PSU, or fans. Did they all stop spinning at the same time, or did they fail sequentially? If you have another spare fan laying around, can you try and see if those work? If I had...

Try to see what is taking up so much of that CPU. Open up task manager and see what process is using it.

Depends. What are you doing? If you are gaming on 1080p (which you should not be doing with a 1080), the CPU will prob bottleneck. If you are rendering, depending on the software, also possible. If you are gaming at 4k, the 1080 will get a run for its money.

Also, JFP2 is on the top with 4 pins wide. JFP1 is 5 pins wide. Refer to the JFP2 pins
