Not a question of being pushed too far at all. It is, rather, a question of getting the settings right. After all STOCK? WHAT'S THAT?

I now believe this is related to my overclock, but, it is a little early. Things to note. If I shutdown the computer and let it sit overnight, then it posts and boots right up. If I then shutdown and attempt to restart, it hangs. I did a real CMOS clear, i.e. set jumpers, removed battery and...

Lets see what folks think is the problem. when I start my computer from a cold boot after a shut down, it almost always hangs at Initializing USB Controller. If I shut it down, turn off the PSU, drain all juice from the motherboard by pressing the on switch, turn the PSU back on and then press...

OK, you said it. Your CPU is not a Clarkdale, so it doesn't have video. Card needed.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. My main question here, I think, is can someone else that has a similar rig with Watercooling have a look at theri Core temps versus the CPU temp, in Everest, Speedfan, whatever reports both, and tell me how they compare. Leave it alone is not an option...

This is my second E8400, and I am very familiar with the whole stuck DTS issue, but, this is different. Running 490 X 9 for 4.4GHz with 1.36V. Sensors do not go below 42C. Not a problem. The problem is that they hardly ever go up at all. I am using water, ambient is around 18-20C. The CPU...

I have done all of that. Please note that I have tried another motherboard as well. I am really leaning toward a PSU problem. Just noted that as I plug in the 24 pin to the motherboard, I can get a quick, much less than a second, burst of power. Enough to start the fans spinning and flash...

Went to start my son's computer, and, as per the title, nothing. No LEDs glowing on the motherboard either. Jumped the PSU by putting a wire in pins 4 & 6. PSU started up no problem. All lights and fans started that do not rely on the 24 pin connector. Took MB out of the case, and hooked up only...
