Keyboard error? SpeedFan? I can't help you with the hard drives, I don't know much about that.

The way i look at my system temp is to go into the bios. In there, there should be a section called PC health status or something to that effect, and should tell you what your voltages are and your temps.

what brand motherboard is it?

 

[adriana]

msi neo4-f. is there any kind of program that let me monitor it on my monitor

Download this to see your CPU and Case temps from windows. It's called Motherboard Monitor 5 and is used by many people at OCForums. If you don't like that program you can always search for others, there are quite a few.

For monitoring VGA temps your video card manufacturer should have some program to do that. Check out their website and see what you can find.

If your hard drive is shown under Primary Master IDE then it is not a SATA drive. SATA and IDE are two different types of drives.

I do not know what is up with your keyboard. Maybe you are pushing too many buttons at once? I know if I push a lot at the same time my computer will beep.

oh but i got an 800jd SATA, how do i make it sata? i plugged it in sata1 on mobo and the power adapater

Regarding the beeping, sounds like maybe you haven't hooked up any kind of speakers. If that is the case, hook something up and see if it doesn't stop the beeping.

Does it not work? If you have it plugged in and powered up and its an sata drive, you should be good to go.

you can't "make a drive sata." it's either sata or ide. if you plugged it into the sata slot on your mobo, then it's a sata drive.

yeah it does work, but it listed my hard drive as IDE
