Here is after about 2 hours (I think a little over, I started hwinfo about 20 mins after I started prime 95) Seems pretty good, is there anything in there that I"m missing that looks bad? I'm not 100% sure how to read hwinfo, but it looks like prime95 passed everything. I noticed a few of...

Thank you for your responses, sorry I didn't respond earlier, I was at work all day so I just had the time to check the thread, not enough time to respond adequately. So, I was able to install the new graphics card (holy cow is it a beast, I had to take out part of my case so it would fit). I...

I have one other quick dumb question: I originally thought I damaged my cpu with it overheating. I was wondering if there was any way to tell when I take my heatsink off if the cpu is damaged at all? I actually purchased a CPU and I'll be getting another one with my package today...just...

Hello everyone, I've been having issues for a while and done multiple things to try to figure it out. My computer used to reset quite a bit, I eventually noticed the CPU was running hot and blew out the heatsink of the cpu and the gpu with condensed air (they were caked with some dust) which...

After getting the meter i unplugged everything and tried to see if i could figure out what to test. After a half an hout of looking through the motherboard manual and my computer i decided to put it together again to check the forums. after putting it back together my video card wasn't being...

Thank you again for the response Westom. I have looked up a few guides online for testing voltages of the mobo. I'm a little confused on what specifically I would be testing: The Capacitors? To do this a guide I found: http://www.wikihow.com/Troubleshoot-for-Motherboard-Failures Looks like...

Here is an image of HWM a bit after running 3dMark11. I was looking at my CPU's Vcore voltages, not sure if they are correct?

When I ran 3dmark 11 Demo it ran pretty well. My cpu got up to 74 degrees, my gpu handled the heat and stress well, it lagged and frame rates went down to 9 on a couple of stressful points but it didn't crash. I then ran Prime 95 again and when my cpu got up to 73 degrees, it froze again...

I'm sorry I honestly don't understand what you are saying. I should have posted my specs at the beginning, and I doubt this will even have any difference in the answer, but the CPU is an AMD. I do agree, that testing and figuring out the problem would be absolutely best but to be honest I have...

Thank you for your answers :). Unfortunately I was incorrect in my CPU temp, and saw that it was coming in at 70+ degrees C when opening chrome tabs and nothing else open. I opened the case and saw my cpu heatsink and graphics card heatsinks caked in dust so I blew them clean with condensed...

Thank you very much. I'll just purchase the new cpu, heatsink + fan, and gpu :D.

Hello, I'm sorry to ask this (I wrote a post before, but my situation has changed a bit and I'm about to purchase some new components). My cpu was overheating (HWM clocked at 70+ while opening chrome tabs), I noticed it and my graphics card were caked in dust so I unplugged everything and used...
