Upgraded Processor. Now fan runs full speed and doesn't start sometime
I have a HP z556 Home theatre PC that I put an Intel dg33bu motherboard in. It use to have a Core2duo 2.13GHz processor and I upgraded a couple days ago to an E8500 3.16GHz Core2duo.
Since I've upgraded:
At least one of my case fans is running 100%. With the old processor the same fan would ramp up and down (kind of annoying) but it wasn't as annoying as a fan spinning away at 100%.I have the latest BIOS and this processor is supported by this motherboard.
When doing a reboot through Windows it doesn't startup. It shuts down but when it tries to start up, the screen stays black. If I hold the power button to shut it off, then press the power button to turn it back on, it starts up fine.
What could the problem be?
I'm mostly concerned with why the machine doesn't startup after a Windows reboot but the fan would be nice to know too.
Thanks!
