I knew i was to good to be true, i just put this rig together (sig) without any problems but now i'm running into problems, okay here we go. Oh everything is detecting fine on my comp, memory, hard drives and everything went smooth and i'm not overclocking, i never ran memtest or anything though.
1. I download and ran 3dmark03 i got a score of 1913! that's horrible, i was getting just under 10,000 with my P4 2.8c (with same video card)...so i have no idea why that is happening.
2. I installed Doom 3, everything on that works fine, no frame rate problems or anything that i could tell. But then i installed Far Cry something seemed wierd at load up and would kind of freeze here and there before it got to the title screen. Well i turned up my video options to High and when the game starts the first board the graphics look really bad, everything is really bright and the textures look really low and off, even though i have them turned up in the video options.
3. Last thing is i update all my Bios and drviers to make sure that was not it...that did not fix anything as far as 3dmark goes and i also down loaded the MSI utility PC Alert 4 . Well now when i reboot my computer, the MSI PC Alert thing comes up and that annoying alarm is going off! The warning is with in the voltage area, they are as follow:
V.Core=1.42
3.3V=3.3
+5V=5.05
+12V= 2.16 THIS IS THE ONE THAT IS IN RED AND WHY THE ALARM IS GOING OFF!
I went into my Bios and my +12V is coming up as 12.0V....so i'm thinking my PC Alert is off...would'nt my system no even run if it was really as 2.16?
Why is this happening and what can i do? At least how do i make the alarm stop going off do i need to lower the voltage, if so how what't the easiest way to do that...i'm a newb at this....this was my first build and i'm not sure what to do....any help you can give would be great. thanks!
