Hum well... i've been running some tests with Memtest not so long ago (because of the cpu fan i already had before), there was apparently nothing wrong pointed out. But maybe i should do some more and different tests.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately i can't try my gpu elsewhere. But i'm suspecting it or the psu because i had a very similar issue with the same psu and another Sapphire gpu before, in another rig: it was a 5850 preventing the pc to boot. So my theory is: that problem is particularly...

Hi, I have some weird and terrible issues with my computer. Since 1 or 2 days, if i play a game (i tried Team Fortress 2, Dark Souls 3, The Witcher 2), the whole system/os freezes and the monitor just shows some stripes (usually grey). Btw the computer won't boot/reboot unless i press the...

I just partially cleaned the gpu (its heatsink is less dusty but still dusty) and it went back in my rig. Plugged my third case fan directly to psu since the motherboard fan port is now used by the cpu fan. The pc is working. But it's not over, i'm worried by what happened and i still think...

Well, well, well. I've been plugging the old intel heatsink to "cpufan2" port. It works fine. Then i plugged the supposedly dead Thermalright fan to a "sysfan" port, leaving both "cpufan" ports empty. And guess what? It's working. It's spinning at 1355rpm according to Speedfan. This is...

Thanks a lot for your reply! I checked the fan speed in the bios: it says "0"rpm, and no matter if i set the speed on 25 or 100%, it's still not spinning. I regularly hear a little weird noise (every 5 sec i think), it's the fan trying to start, but it looks like it just... can't. Maybe is it...

Hi, (I really don't know where to post this,feel free to move the thread if necessary) Yesterday i noticed that my cpu fan wasn't working anymore so unplugged it to clean it (thermalright fan+heatsink). When i did that, i turned the psu off with its very own power button. Then i plugged the...

Oh god i really hope my cpu isn't dead too. Thanks for your reply.

Bump, does this looks "ok"? I don't know anything about voltages and stuff like that: http://puu.sh/oXETj/d6cc8ff534.png

Hi, I have exactly the same issue (my thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3063679/boot-start-cpu-fan-work.html ) and i really believe that's not a cpu issue (because reasons i've stated in the thread). Can you tell me if you managed to fix everything, please? If yes, how?

Obviously...yes, i grabbed the latest drivers for the mouse long ago, i updated the firmware. Installed them twice actually. As i said before, i had issues without windows launched (in the windows setup), so that's not really linked to drivers i believe.

Bump? The mouse was plugged to usb 3 ports, but it looks like plugging it to a usb 2.0 port is very effective at all. I'm now realizing that the mouse was indeed the only cause of shutdown issues.

I spent one day without the Sentinel Advance 2, but with the G400 instead. I've rebooted and shut the pc down many times with no issues. I used the MSI utility to update my bios (and the realtek and intel drivers too btw). I'm glad i'm living in 2016: it installed the 1.90 bios (i had the...
