So here's an update to the situation. It got a lot worse. Today the new CPU fan arrived and it installed it into the computer. When I went to start the computer it would not post. I removed to the fan to see if I installed it wrong and noticed that some of the pins on the CPU are now bent...
ok I checked the cooler and cleaned it but it didn't have much dust so I don't think that is the problem. Games still cause it to run around the mid 50's. Is there a better cooler I could get?
my specs are as follow:
Summary
Operating System
Windows 8.1 64-bit
CPU
AMD FX-8320 22 °C
Vishera 32nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 669MHz (9-9-9-24)

Ok I'll get the specs and post them. One thing first though. I downloaded the Speccy program and I was monitoring the temperature of the CPU while I had my game running and I noticed that the temperature was gradually increasing and the fan was working harder and harder ultimately rising to a...
The computer has been working fine for months. I'll try cleaning the fan. I did see a lot of dust where the computer was located. How do I pull the specs so I can include them here?
I need help. My computer has been randomly shutting down while gaming. It's as if the power is cut and the computer immediately turns off. It's very concerning. I've noticed that it seems the fan is running very loudly as well. Could these be related?
OK so I think the problem is that it's not detecting the Hard drive. I have only seen the Asus DVD drive and possibly the USB drive. Any advice on why it is not detecting the hard drive or how I can find it in the BIOS?
I switched the cabling so the hard drive is in port 1 and the DVD drive is in port 5. I don't know how to partition the hard drive. In the installation process there is an option for Repair Computer. I click on it and there was an option for Reset PC. When I tried it gave me an error message...
I don't know what the configuration is like. I have the DVD drive connected to SATA port #1 and the hard drive connected to SATA port #3.
The DVD drive is: Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive DRW-24B1ST (Black)
The Hard Drive is: WD Blue Desktop Hard Drive 1TB, 7200 RPM...
The drive controllers is set to ahci, the bbs listing is set to uefi and boot option #1 is the dvd drive. Those were the options when i tried last time. I took this computer into a service shop and because I was not able to get the video feed to post. He was able to install Linux and then...
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P
Installation disk method - I'm not sure what this means. I have an Asus DVD drive installed and put the disc inside so it loads from that disk. I tried setting the BIOS setting to IDE mode but that has not worked. I'm going to try checking to see if the...
I have built a customer PC, but I cannot install Windows 8.1. During the installation process I have to install to a driver but there is no driver to install to. I transferred Hw8 folder onto a USB drive and I was able to select the AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller and click Next. But...
I am building a PC for the first time (which was probably a big mistake but oh well) and I am now trying to start the initial installation. The problem I am having is that I cannot get any video feed so I can go through the BIOS setup and then install windows. I have installed the video card...
I think the graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 8570D and monitor resolution is 1600 x 1200. I did not do a clean installation of windows when I replaced the cpu. However, I have gone to msconfig I only have the option of selecting 1 or 2 processors.
Thanks for the response.
That's what I assumed. I am going to get an AMD 8 core, so I need to get a compatible motherboard with an AM3+ Socket. What is a good MB for this purpose? I have looked at a few including MSI ATX DDR3 2133 Motherboard 970 GAMING. I would like to preserve as many...
When I check the dxdiag it's how's the correct cpu AMD Quad - Core A8 - Series APU A8 - 6600 with Radeon HD 8570D Part # AD660KWOHLBOX. When I check the Performance tab on the Task Manager it shows Cores: 1 Logal processors: 2. AMD says that it has two cores and two logic processors which is...
I recently upgraded my AMD dual core CPU to a quad core but my operating system only recognizes 2 CPUs. I have tried updating the BIOS and then I tried to access the BIOS to see if there was a restriction that has been preventing the other two from being utilized. However, when I accessed the...
