Well I just got up and had some coffee and jumped on the forum and what do I see.
Arc computer is working. That is great news.
Better news would be; what caused the problem. I guess we will never know.
As most know, I don't use stock cpu coolers but millions of people do. So it is still a judgement call by the owner of the computer.
Monitoring the temps when doing the work one normally does should be done often when it's a new build.
In my opinion, if a case has the ability of adding more case fans I recommend adding the fans.
More proper air circulations through the case can only help. It's even more important in places that get high ambient temperatures.
Good job Arc.
Now we need some pictures of your completed hardware install.
The issue bounced back.
I talked with gigabyte guys, they approved it as a failing motherboard and admitted that they will give me a replacement. Tomorrow I will send the board to RMA.
How about an update Arc. I believe you said you have the new board. I am sure it is back in. Are you having any problems now?
I would also like to add that I wish all OPs were as good as you. You did everything asked of you and answered every question with complete details. Our job would be much easier with an OP like you. Very well done.
No, Steve. :) No more problems at all. Everything is working like a charm. The computer boots up with Windows 10TP within 15-17 seconds and it shuts down within 5-7 seconds.
I havent got any decent CPU cooler yet. My cooling is still one 120 mm and one 80 mm case fan; and teh stock intel CPU cooler. I am not obtaining any other thing, no vendor can supply any better to me (It might be tough to believe for you, but a hard truth for the geographical location where I dwell). But I will get it. It may take some time. For the record, CPU temp maximizes to more or less 50ºC, but the average temp is around 40º.
Thank you, not only for all your help but also for the appreciation. :) As I am asking for help, I have to explore all the suggestions I obtained.
