ASRock A320M-DGS
16G RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX (Passed Memtest)
AMD A10-9700 CPU
1st problem
Voltage regulators seem to run hot (as high as 90C)
2nd problem
System consistently fails when trying to load OS.
Tried Latest Ubuntu and Windows 7.
In both cases it seems to start ok, then after a few minutes it just seems to slow down then stop.
For example, the items going to the display take longer and longer to render....like the first part of a "window" will appear, then after a while the next......and so forth.......As if I have virtually no computing power....like it's running a CPU from 1998
As if the computer is drunk and dozes off to sleep....no errors....no BSOD, nothing....it just sits there as if it's waiting on something.....forever....
Keep in mind that the CPU gets COLDER during this time....not hotter......in fact the voltage regulators AND the CPU seem to just go cold. As if it went to sleep in the middle of beginning the install of the OS to the hard drive.
Im going to monitor the CPU and voltage regulator temps and try again to see if maybe the CPU is maybe overheating and then the system powers back due to that.
I've never seen this odd behavior in a computer.
