Thats what I thought as well when I took a closer look at the mobo specs. I returned the X4-750k and purchased an A6-6400K (says A series on the chip) But I'm still having the exact same problem, the cpu heat sink fan spools up for a tiny fraction of a second and turns off. I plugged in a video...

Hello, I am building a new system and I've run into a problem. This is the situation so far. I have a 430W PSU plugged into the MSI A88X mobo which is sitting outside of it's case on glass to rule out grounding issues. I have the Athlon X4 installed in the mobo with stock cooling. I've plugged...

I just pulled the processor out of the socket and placed it back in. i guess there must have been a loose connection or something. Another thing u want to make sure you have set correctly is your RAM with this motherboard. The way the architecture works is that you MUST HAVE DIMM#1 populated no...

I was able to remove the heat sink and reseat the processor and the system posted without errors. fingers died removing the pushpins but it was a fair trade IMO lol i've got windows installed and everything seems good

Hey guys, I just got all my parts from newegg yesterday and i was set up my system. However I am getting the following error when trying to boot my system. The onboard mobo Debug led panel display reads FF and does not go past this point. I've connected both speakers and monitor but i dont get...

Thank you for the info Viper! The RAM voltage is not something i was aware of. I realize high voltage will probably result in high temps which will degrade performance in the long run so I will take your advice on that and get the G.Skill instead. Can you give me more info about the Gigabyte...

Thank you both for the feed back! I did some more reading up on the ATI 4890 and i am starting to see why you guys say its a better option. @Viper: Is there a reason other than the price difference for the Mobo recommendation? Also, why the RAM change, on first glance, the Timings and the clock...

Hello everyone, I'm doing research to build a new budget gaming system for myself. Over the past 8 years i have built myself very expensive gaming systems ($3k-$4k) and i am begining to relize that, for me, this is wasteful. I've not been in touch with the hardware scene for sometime and...
