Hi, (sorry for the very detailed post)
Hopefully someone can help me, I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure
this one out!!
I've just recently built a PC using the following components:
640 Intel Pentium® 4 LGA 775 CPU (3.20 Ghz 800FSB) HT 2MB Cache
Asus P5AD2-E-Premium
256Mb Connect 3D PCI-E X800 Tv/DVI ViVo
Arctic Cooling ATI 4 (X800 Series) VGA Silencer
1Gb Twin Pack (2x 512Mb) Value Select DDR2, 533 MH PC4200
200Gb Seagate Barracuda (7200.7rpm, 8Mb) - SATA
Samsung Combo Black 52x32X52 CD-RW + 16x DVD-ROM
1.44Mb Sony Silver Floppy Disk Drive
Arctic Cooling T2 Silentium Silent Midi Tower Case - 350W Seasonic
Silent PSU
Windows XP Professional SP2
When I press the power button on the front of the case, the pc seems to
start with a bit of disk drive whirring, no beeps though, and the
monitor does not turn on. I then have to turn off the power off at the
wall, turn it back on, press the power button on the front of the case,
and then the PC starts and shows the following message:
Overclocking Failed! Please enter Setup to re-configure your system.
Press F1 to Run SETUP
Press F2 to load default values and continue
As I haven't changed any settings in the BIOS, if I press F1, the BIOS
shows exactly how it was before. The PC then starts fine and I have no
trouble whist in Windows. If I press F2, the PC then starts fine and I
have no trouble whist in Windows.
If I shut the PC down completely, and then press the power button on
the front of the case immediately afterwards, the PC starts up fine.
If however, I wait few minutes to turn the pc back on, the same issue
arises, ie the pc doesnt start up and the monitor doesnt turn on.
Obviously, the easiest and cheapest thing is to do the "power on, turn
on, power off, power on, turn on" thing every time. However, I don't
know if anything is being damaged in the PC when I do this....so this
could be costly in the future if for example something melts or blows.
The power supply in the Arctic Cooling T2 case is a Seasonic 350W
Continous Silent PSU. This has a 20-pin connector on it whereas the
motherboard has a 24 pin connector. One of the things I'm wondering
is, is whether I need a different PSU with a 24 pin connector, or get a
20-pin to 24-pin adapter that I have read about on some newsgroups.
The Connect 3D Radeon X800 PCI-E graphics card does not have a power
connector like the later models.
I haven't flashed the BIOS, I don't know if its worth attempting an
update. The details of the BIOS are:
AMIBIOS
Version: 0404
Build Date: 02/03/2005
To me, this seems like an issue with power, either going to the
motherboard or to the graphics card. Maybe some settings in the BIOS
should be changed with regard to power, I don't know.
If any one can help, it'd be very much appreciated!!!!
Thanks,
