Is there something on the old HD that you really need?daffytag wrote:
I beleive the heat sink is installed correctly. Its the one supplied with the processor, I followed the instructions and each leg clicked like the manual said it should.
No the old HDD is completley formated. Apart from the dvd drive and the hdd everything else is new.buLLet_t00th wrote:

You can always get a better SATAII HD use that as the one you install the OS on and then use your old one as another storage device?
The new hard drive will be much better than the old anyway.
Have you tried changing the BIOS so that the SATA drive is seen in IDE mode? Have a look in the manual if you don't know where to do it, also see if you can see where the SATA leads should be plugged in. Sometimes there are problems with the ASUS controlled SATA ports so try the Intel controlled ports?daffytag wrote:

Stop being so patronising dipshit. Im saying that the setup he has MIGHT demand too much power from his PSU. LIKE it did with my 200W in my old PC. But, acording to you im wrong.buLLet_t00th wrote:

No, I had a 200W PSU and my rig woulnt work cuz it was underpowered.
Because of what you say this guy might go out and buy a 1000watt PSU for no reason at all.Whitey wrote:

Luckily im not too much of a noob, I know my psu is enough. The gpu recommends 600w for a single gpu and 700w for sli. I only have 1 gpu so im fine.buLLet_t00th wrote:

yep if the thermal grease is all messed up it would probably be a good i dea to rmove it and apply a spall amount on, just to make sure, not too much though just a small dot of it in the middle.daffytag wrote:

If the heatsink is on but not tight, then thats not the problem. I think what leetkyle said was the problem. Do what he said.jimmanycricket wrote:

Was it just a little bit loose? As long as there is some contact then its fine. Thats not your problem though.daffytag wrote:
