I got this whole new setup a while ago and have been running it for a while but have been ignoring this problem. Check my sig to see what all I am running.
When I first start up the computer in the morning (or whenever for that matter) it will start up and the regular BIOS screen comes up with all the temps. and fan speeds, etc. except there are no temps and the only fan speed is the CPU fan and it is at 4 thousand something and is in red. So I hit the reset button and sometimes it will do it again and sometimes I have to hit it a few times before it will finally start up and go into windows.
Why is this happening? I have asked several people at computer stores and they all say to flash the BIOS again but all I have is that crappy windows flasher utility that came with the motherboard, and it wants to download the latest BIOS and that is already what I am running. I do not have a 3.5" drive in the computer cause I dont' really see a need for one (except for this circumstance). Will this fix the problem or is it something more serious. Also does it have something to do with the CPU fan? when it doesn't start is says that it is a 4 thousand something and when it does start it is at 5 thousand something instead.
What should I do?
Thanks
