Not sure if this is the correct section. Someone please examine these partitions on three HDDs. Are they correct ? Do they all need a grub and root ? Where do the "star" and "flags" go ? Sixteen years of using Linux and I am still a dolt. Since both 500Green Bay HDDs are over 15 years old, I...

DAPunisher, praise the Lord and you, it worked as directed. Bias works and so does the booty ! I checked which driver was working my rig and it is the Nouvera Vesa. Since I do not OC nor play games, perhaps I should leave although it is inferior to Nvidia drivers. For some reason, the LED...

DAPunisher, I will try your recommendation. Yes, I tried the other HDMI port with no success. I too purchased this GPU from Better Best Buy, for a buck eighty, including permission to shop levy.

I should have mention that, In2Photos. :<(:)oops: There are a series of four light indicators and it was the three down. "VGA - indicates GPU/ PCIE/ M.2 device is not detected or fail."

Greeting Posters: Not sure this is the right the right sub-forum for this post. My mother board decided to retire, thus I remodeled the rig. A new mama board, CPU, GPU, and RAM. $660 bucks in new parts. The last installation was GPU. All went well, but the trip to a theme park quickly...

Using browser FF, I installed the extension "block site" to get rid of this damm annoying and privacy invader. Google "do no evil" is using this pop up to harvest your data - thus they are an unwanted pest. Apply Google be gone with "block site" extension. If one has to use Google, then...

Sir William, I check my BIOS and yes indeed you are correctoe. Still, however, it requires a four pin header, since all PMW fans are four pin and will work only statically when plug into a three pin header.

Inteluser, I was thinking along the same lines. I quite sure his setting in the BIOS are set to default, as he is just a normal PC user.

My bad, Inteluser. I was referring to a Noiseblocker fan and not the Northbridge. The fan which is not working, is a three pin fan mount to the mamaboard. It is cooling the CPU cooler. I am a mistake by calling it a heat sink. :<(( Should it be running at all times?? It is in my rig...

Larry, my bad! I am referring to the fan on the CPU cooler, which is a three pin mounting onto the mamaboard.

Larry, thank you for the extended post. It was an interesting read, until I realized that I mislabeled the title of this thread. A CPU cooler is not a heat sink. Sorry about the confused I created.

IntelUser, this is a good idea. How about running a stress test as well? He could also go into his BIOS and set the CPU temperature warning alarm. There is certainly no advantage to the CPU cooler fan not running.

Thank you for all of your replies. I should have said the fan on the CPU cooler than a "heat sink." Two big difference. Yes, Damian, it is a Noiseblocker Fan, which he said ran all the time. In fact, on my last built, I also used a Nosieblocker Fan, which later too stop working. This CPU...

Should a CPU cooler fan run continuously? A friend of mine and his ten year old rig has a NB fan which is not on. I am thinking this fan has gone bad. I would appreciate the advice of any pros on this website. Frank you kindly...

Well, after a six month break I am giving this another try. I installed the new RAM (Gskill) and placed one stick onto the mamabroad. Started the rig and well you know the theme by now, all three LED case fans started to blink on and off, however, different this time, was that the case fans...
