Gigabyte GA-8I865GME Configuration Problem?

[wildfire25]

Hi, I've just upgraded my Motherboard to the GA-8I865GME with a Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 and I upgraded my old Acer 200W Power Supply Unit to a High Power brand 300W unit.

My problem is I am getting the System to Boot but the System Fan is going crazy and the CPU fan starts off spinning very slowly and then stopping but then eventually spins at a much higher speed. Can't get into Windows XP either it will just reboot. CPU Temp in BIOS seems to be good hovering around the 24 - 25 degree's range.

Updated BIOS from a Floppy but still not getting anywhere, Cleared CMOS but still nothing, Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

It's possible you need a more powerful PSU. Usually a minimum of 450w for new systems.

Thanks for the help g-paw.

One thing I've learned from this forum is the importance of the PSU, in fact had to replace one yesterday. Ended up with the Antic NeoHE 550, a bit pricey, about $115, but has module cabling, which is really nice but you can get a good one for less. Some of good references
