Hi Forum,
I'm moderatley experienced with computers but am experiencing a problem I can't seem to solve. I built a computer with what would probably be considered gaming components but I use it for trading. Specs are as follows:
Intel core i7 950
120MM liquid cooler fan
(3) 1X4GB 9-9-9-24 1.65V 1600mhz RAM (corsair)
(2) GTS 450 1GB video cards running in SLI mode
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard
xion powerreal 1000 watt psu
120GB intel X25-M SATA MLC-SSD
WD 500GB SATA-2 WD500KS
PCI-E 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45
Windows 7 professional 64bit
Thermaltake TT armor mx mid tower case - VH8000BWS
(4) 23 inch dell monitors
When I launch BIOS I get the error: "the system has experienced boot failures because of overclocking or changes in voltage. Latest setting in BIOS may not coincide with curret H/W states"
I've downloaded an installed all current drivers for the motherboard but have not attempted a Q-Flash of BIOS. Also, the memory passed the tests and it working properly. And no issues with screen resolution or running slow or choppy.
I noticed my cpu temp was extremely high in BIOS 116-C, not Farenhiet. Not sure if this is even possible but if so, it's obviously overheating for some reason.
I'm not really sure what to look for to in BIOS to make sure things are not out of whack or overclocked in terms of voltage, mhz, or timing related to what my system settings should be.
I've cleaned the inside of the computer with a can of compressed air to make sure dust wasn't an issue.
Also, there's a very faint grind/whirring noise that gets a bit stronger before the system shuts down. However, the fans are functioning the whole time and don't seem to be the problem.
Please help! It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
