Hi guys,
Just built a new system last night with the following:
Abit IB9
E6300 (stock hsf)
eVGA 7600 gt
400 watt psu
ocz gold xtc 1 GB DDR2 6400 (800 mhz)
I don't know if anyone has any experience with the IB9 (I couldn't find much info about it), but I've had a few problems getting this system ready.
#1 is that the machine fires up for 5 seconds, then turns itself off for another 5 seconds, then reboots on its own and it's good to go. I've never heard of anything like this. If it booted for a few seconds and shut down and that was it, I'd guess it's the PSU, but to reboot and be fine? And it does this at every restart and cold start, by the way. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
#2 is the stupid intel hsf. I had a lot of trouble getting it attached, but I'm 90% sure it's attached properly finally. The first few times I started it (after the boot on/off/on again), the cpu temp in BIOS was pretty high for a very first boot (75-80 C). My first thought had to be that the temperature sensors weren't working correctly. How can a cpu get up to 75-80 degrees almost immediately on its first boot ever? With a hsf attached. So once I got windows installed, I let the machine run over night, just idling. In the morning, the idle temp was at 70 C. That makes no sense! I haven't installed any of the MB drivers or utilities, yet, but that shouldn't make a difference, right? Again, thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
thanks!
