It is indeed an Asus board. I'll look into that thank you :) @Nikorr, it is an aftermarket cooler. Coolermaster n520.

So, I've recently completed a build for a friend of mine and had a few initial errors that I've since sorted. One however persists. Upon booting up the computer I am greeted by a message stating "CPU fan error" and requiring me to press F1 to enter BIOS config. All fans are spinning, the CPU...

This makes me very happy to hear, I'll be able to have the OS installation disc tomorrow and will report back. Really appreciate the fast response, you've given me hope :)

So, friend of mine got all of his computer components today and as we agreed upon I put it together. Made sure to touch the case, do what I could to keep myself grounded etc. Was very careful handling all of the components. I finished up the build, everything looked good. Started it up and...

Thank you both, I've ordered a Coolermaster Hyper 212+, only after hearing very good things, it should arrive tomorrow. As far as securing the cooler, I'm positive it's properly in place, that was the first thing I checked. I did however use the thermal paste that came on the cooler, but as you...

Title explains it mostly, I only have a stock cooler for my intel i5 2500k right now (buying a new cooler soon). But as of right now, the stock cooler isn't exactly amazing, when CPU gets under 85-100% load CPU temp reaches up to 86 degrees celsius, not good! So I figured I would set vegas to...

No, it only happens when I try to play World of Warcraft. Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Team Fortress 2 are just fine. That's what made me figure it was not a hardware issue, but my knowledge of computers is not extensive so I figured I could very well be mistaken.

1. I did not make any changes to the voltage due to my limited knowledge, I don't want to adjust any settings without instruction. 2. The PSU going bad is a possibility, it is a trusted brand and from what I hear a high quality one. However as I said, this is a possibility, do you know of any...

Go into Catalyst Control Center > My Digital Flat Panels > Scaling Options (Digital Flat-panel) and reduce overscan to 0%. This is of course if you've not already sorted this issue, best of luck to you :)

So, recently I've been encountering this error. It began a couple of weeks ago, and gradually got worse until the system would completely lock up and I would have to restart and run in safe mode for it to stay working. I have already re-installed windows, changed RAM settings, cleared CMOS...
