    no particular issues no, I just was worried because I just replaced my wifi card and cleaned out my pc, and was checking HWiNFO to make sure things are okay. all my other mobo voltages are within the correct range. No multi-meter sorry. Edit: I might Clear CMOS and report back on the readings...

    [SOLVED] Question about SMA connectors (for WiFi card upgrade)

    Wow, thanks for this info I was unaware of this, man I spent hours checking SMA to RPSMA converters for nothing haha. Now I understand most modern devices will have RP-SMA even if they refer to it in manuals as SMA or standard SMA. looking forward to getting a new wifi card!

    My pc occasionally makes this sound like it's booting up again is that bad?

    I reset everything in my bios to the optimized settings, and btw, the fans don't stop and turn back on at all, it's just the sound, sounds like it's resetting or booting up and it's like a second, and I can't record it, but it doesn't impact on anything, but I am still worried, I don't have a...

    My pc occasionally makes this sound like it's booting up again is that bad?

    I haven't overclocked anything really, and all I did to the bios was update it the first time I turned on the pc, but that's about it, I am gonna check the battery value/voltage and report back.

    My pc occasionally makes this sound like it's booting up again is that bad?

    I noticed that every now and then I hear the pc sort of like it turned off and on so quickly and it makes that sound as if I just pressed the power button. although nothing is affected by this so far, the pc is working fine. does this mean anything tho? anyone with the same thing?

    yea, i ran furmark two more times just to make sure, and took a screenshot of it, http://i.imgur.com/XSm545R.jpg, but this screenshot is of a furmark test RIGHT AFTER another one, so that's why the temps are very high at 76C, the first re-test didn't go above 70C, obviously I forgot to take a...
