Just install a 3.0 dual dore into a P5ld2 delux board w/2gb ram. After
boot-up I went into the bios to adjust the time and it shuts down
everytime. I can power it up and with 10 seconds it shuts back down. No
beeps nothing at all? Any help would be appreciated....Paul

P.S I have a 120 cm fan in the rear the standard Intel fan on the CPu and a
8cm in the front case to aid in cooling.

See if you can get into the hardware monitor in BIOS before it shuts down.
I'm willing to bet that you'll see the CPU temp in the high 90s before the
shutdown.

Make sure your CPU heatsink/fan is properly mounted. This very thing
happened to me recently.

Anthony, I remounted the CPU did notice the heat sink compound is
wearing thin. Do I need to add more heatsink before I attempt to power-
up again?...Paul

If you are reusing a heatsink on this new processor, then you very
definitely need to clean the CPU and heatsink following the instructions
for the heatsink/thermal compound you are using. If you are
encountering the topic of proper application of the compound for the
first time, then the Arctic Silver website offers pretty good
instructions and advice.

Good luck,

PB, did as you and (Anthony)instructed and applied new thermal compound
and reattached to CPU and it works. It is pretty warm about 137 and the MB
at 97 is this acceptable????....Paul

Acceptable, yes.
Whether it is 'reasonable',depends on what your ambient temperature is. If
(for instance), you are only at 68F outside the case, then this implies
your motherboard is sitting 29F above ambient. Come the summer, when
temperatures shoot up to perhaps 90F, the motherboard is going to be
sitting at perhaps 119F, and the processor at 159F. The latter is hooter
than you want. If however the computer is sitting in a hot southern
climate, or right next to a central heating radiator, then the figures are
reasonable, representing close to the maximum likely to be met. If the
ambient temperature is low, then the figures suggest that the air may be
doing quite a bit of circulation inside the case, rather than the warm air
being quikly extracted.

I concur with Roger's comments and expand that airflow through your
computer case may be lacking. If you do not have an exhaust fan on the
back where one may be located, then such an add-on may help remove the
warm air inside the case. Also look for clogged vents in the front
under the face/cosmetic plastic (or perhaps metal) of your case that may
be restricting intake airflow from the front. Some cases even have an
air filter you may discover if you pop the front cover off (if it is
removable). Maybe look at cables, especially the 80 wire IDE cables and
how they may be contributing to air flow restriction near the processor.
Lastly, some motherboards/mainboards have sensors in locations that
read higher as a result of proximity to the hotter components. High end
video cards can often dump a lot of heat energy into the case, as well.

Good Luck,

PB

Thanks for all the help guys. I did find my main heat source as the 450
watt power supply. I will add an extra fan on it and add an extra fan in
front of the case for better circulation.....Paul
