    Stop Error 0x7B

    I don't think any of these will help. Hrm. I'm thinking it's a registry error thing. I am not sure quite why it keeps telling me that it's having these problems.

    Stop Error 0x7B

    I think I figured it out. The Windows installation is somewhat confused and thinks that it has to boot from D, but in reality it has to boot from C. So the problem I have is then, how to make it think that it actually has to boot from C, rather than D?

    Stop Error 0x7B

    I looked at the microsoft knowledge base but couldn't find much of substance to help me. That was why I came here, hoping that someone would have some advice on what to do. I really don't want to lose my settings. Could it in some way be because the other installation views my drives as...

    Stop Error 0x7B

    Alright... I may be screwed, but I am hoping I can be helped. Alright, my internet was not working via a lan I had, so I decided to attempt an installation of Windows XP. Unfortunately my version was out of date (It was a SP1 version, whereas I had upgraded to SP2, so it wouldn't let me...

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    Installed two 120mm fans and moved my old 80mm exhaust fan to be an intake fan onto my processor. Only a 3 degree difference from before. Meh. At 54C now, which is tolerable, but still very high in my view.

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    I bought two 120 mms. Cost me a bit (I got a quieter version) If it turns out to be my motherboard screwing up, I am going to be very angry at gigabyte and speak to them about it.

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    Yes, I'm considering buying a 120mm exhaust fan (only have an 80mm right now) and perhaps a better intake, or a disk drive fan. And yes, I do have a temperature probe. It seems to report the case temperature fairly accurately. I haven't used it on the processor, though I think I will.

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    meh, installed a new intake fan, temperature did not change.

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    In addition, would a PCI exhaust fan help at all?

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    I was thinking placing one in the bottom front might work, though I can't see any airholes in my motherboard, though it does have an area to screw one in.

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    I think I may be using too much of it. I heard it was supposed to cover the entire processor, so I did that, though I may have used more than a grain of rice to do so, as it left open spots otherwise. In addition, I want to lap my heatsink eventually. Would the proper way to do that just be to...

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    I have three fans, the power supply fan, which is above the cpu and cpu fan, and then a fan on the back. I also have another fan I am considering adding to the system.

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    Hrm, I have F4, which is the latest for the 7NF-RZ (my motherboard from gigabyte) it was to address the software overclocker not working with the motherboard, mentioned nothing about temperature.

    I am also, strangely enough using a gigabyte motherboard.

    CPU Running too hot? Suspect it may be heatsink placed on incorrectly

    Hello, I recently decided to put together a new computer from scratch. I've taken apart computers here or there for the past 10 years or so, but I have never actually put together a computer from scratch. However I feel that my computer's CPU is running a tad too hot. It's an older processor, an...
