Here's my problem. I have been trying to install several virus protection programs of late, but each one has run into an error while writing to the registry. I had to get a refund on Norton because they wouldn't help me. Luckily I ran across Computer Associates who have free anti-virus...

OK, this is hard to explain, but I'll do my best. The 4 pin connector on the fan actually only has 2 pins. The other two are missing. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but isn't the 3rd pin on a 3 pin connector used for the speed of the fan? Anyway, if the adaptor goes from 4 to 3, but there...

FYI to anyone that reads this post. Its not the same for everyone, but my problem has been solved. Turns out that the newer motherboards (our friend drusky had a problem with a gigabyte board and mine is an asus) are particular about their CPU fans. My heatsink had a 4 pin connector, so I...

It was the fan. I had the same problem. Turns out that the newer motherboards are pretty particular about their CPU fans.

Funny you should say that. Someone else mentioned that in another forum. I disabled the reset button to ensure that it wasn't the problem. Besides, I spent $200 on this fricken case. It better not be defective :-) I've seen stranger things however.

The manual is pretty slim. Doesn't tell you much of anything unfortunately. However, I had heard of such things on other Asus motherboards. I guess on my way home from work today I'll be stopping by and picking up a different 60mm CPU fan to see if that may be the problem.

Thank you Paparazi. Very informative and helpful. I did have a comment for edfair however. I can't imagine how I could not have enough power. I am running Enermax's 350w power supply and at times the ONLY things I had hooked up were the case speaker, the motherboard, the CPY and the power...

Thank you for your post Accessdabbler. It is the first one that was really helpful! I'm going to babble here for a while and please let me know if my thought process is correct. First off, my power supply is an Enermax EG365P-VE(FC) (350w). It is set at 115V and I live in the US. I'm having...

I am soooo confused. Can my CPU over heat in 3 seconds? Also, my fan is working just fine. It spins, very fast, and has for the 24 hours that I have had it. If I haven't mentioned it before, this is a completely new system. I bought each part individually and put it together myself. The...

I'm confused. We're centering on the CPU fan. Why? It is working as are all the other fans that are in my case. The 60mm CPU fan came with the heat sink and the heat sink was placed correctly. No offense taken :-) However, it does not have 3 pin wiring, instead it has 4 pin that connects...

Yes I do have a fan on top of the heatsink and it works. It's just that the fan uses a 4 pin 12v connector that plugs into the power supply. Not the standard 3 pin connector that connects to the motherboard. Anyone with an idea? I don't want to send all of the parts back, but at the moment I...

I am having severe trouble with my new system. When I start it up it will go for 3-4 seconds (fan, hard drive, etc. all running) and then it shuts itself down. No beeps, no bios, no monitor output, no nothing. I have searched everywhere and tried everything suggested, but to no avail. I have...
