Question Solved Thread

[Reefles]

My PC works fine. I was recently getting a Blue Screen of Death most likely due to the motherboard BIOS being outdated which was corrected.
I seem to get high CPU idle temperatures at 47C-57C. When I boot the system I always get the same red light on the CPU and yellow light below it on the DRAM. Could the motherboard be faulty? Did I apply too much thermal paste to the CPU? I feel very confident about the position of the CPU in the socket. Will this eventually damage something if I just leave it? The lights are not flashing just stable. After boot the PC works perfectly fine. The GPU load also seems to jump all over the place in TechPowerUp GPU-Z. The GPU's fans don't run even at 60C? Is this normal? I noticed that after playing a game the CPU temperature stays the same as it was in the game and doesn't lower for a LONG while hovering around 60 sometimes until I have to turn my pc off for it the lower in temp. The CPU/ CPUCOOLER sounds like very light crackling/clicking after some bootups and won't go away.
Thank you for reading.

One possible problem could be the RAM.

Some motherboards require that the first physically installed RAM be placed in a specific slot.

DIMMA2

See numbered page 28.

The requirement is that the first installed RAM be placed in DIMMA2.
