New
#61
I have installed the new cooler. I have run the OCCT PSU and CPU tests for 30 minutes each. The CPU temps never reached 60 degrees (C) during the tests. When I installed the new CPU cooler, I removed the mobo from the case. While doing so, I noticed that 3 of the 7 screws that attached the mobo to the case were loose (no doubt the result of my tearing things apart and reseating them). There was also a loose power connection to my sound card. My current situation is this: All RAM is installed, all questionable connections have been tightened and I wish to start from a new 'scratch' from a diagnostic point of view. The OCCT output is attached. I will post again if BSODs occur and we can go from there. I prefer to change only one variable at a time, in this case I have changed two (heat issue SOLVED and potentially error causing grounding issues addressed to the best of my ability. We'll see what happens, I welcome whatever you divine from the OCCT results.
Cheers
