    Rear fan not spinning after wake from sleep, new Intel H87 system

    Hi all, I have a new system built on the Intel H87-based DH87MC motherboard, running Windows 8 x64.

    Hey everyone, I have an AthlonXP 3000+, 512mb of RAM, and a ATI 7500 AIW, and you would think windows would run pretty well. The thing is, it seems to be paging ALL the time. The thing is, memory usage really isn't maxed out, as I'm not running that much at one time. Could horribly slow...
